An Off-The-Shelf Product That Is Bespoke

Brown & Holmes (Tamworth) Ltd runs a diverse and complex business, with both design and manufacturing of complex assemblies and components. The company also acts as agents for other equipment. PSL Datatrack provides production control software to cater for a great number of requirements:

• Multi-company letterheads to cater for various business activities
• Multi-currency quoting, sales/purchase order processing, scheduling, shop floor data collection and management reporting
• Highly customised reports, providing key monitoring information the way Brown & Holmes need to see it, particularly focussed around cost control
• Archive systems, enabling Brown & Holmes to look back up to 16 years without seeing unnecessary old data in their live system

The system was originally installed in 2002 with many version upgrades since. A quote from Carl Baker, Owner of Brown and Holmes: “For me, the system we chose is right, and PSL Datatrack has developed their systems in line with our development of our business. The software is flexible enough to be tailored to suit our changing needs, communication between our companies is excellent and they have proved themselves to have a good understanding of our business.”
