Developing software for a rapidly growing manufacturer presents unique challenges over and above those normally associated with a development project. A client’s requirements change on a daily basis and the scale, number and complexity of the tasks involved grows too.
These are exactly the issues Sortec Software Development faced when creating the extensive suite of programs for a Doncaster based manufacturer of uPVC windows and composite doors . A month-on-month increase in sales volume, increasing headcount at the client and expansion across Europe presented Sortec Software Development with a challenging project over a six year period.
Every element of the systems was integrated into the client’s database at their Doncaster data centre. Desktop applications, hand-held data collection devices and CNC on the shop floor were combined to deliver an integrated, consistent and easy to use ensemble. With new staff being recruited to match the expansion of the client ease of use was essential; Sortec were able to ensure that the systems installed kept pace with this evolving manufacturer and helped it to gain an international reputation for speed of delivery and the ability to adapt to the needs of the client’s end users.
