  • The traceability that this affords has been really good. We have shown some potential new clients the way that we can book in materials and save the supplier certificate to the system for instant access. We can demonstrate that by using PSL Datatrack we are very organised and this has certainly helped us to win the work from those companies.

    Glenn Poleykett, Stellar Precision Components Ltd

  • When we bought PSL Datatrack, we got a system that we could use quickly, does everything we ask of it and more and now we have our entire business at our fingertips.

    Jason Nicholson, Unicut Precision Limited

  • Quality is central to everything that we do. Once we decided to go for ISO 9001, it made perfect sense for PSL Datatrack to become part of our quality procedures in advance. We could have relied upon our paper-based administration system but knew PSL Datatrack would make us more efficient and streamlined and would certainly help us to retain accreditation once we achieved it.

    Alex Taylor, CTPE Limited

  • We liked the way PSL Datatrack could be tailored to our specific needs from the beginning and also gave us the option to expand into different modules as and when we wished.  The way the system flows and the control and traceability we have over our work is now second to none.

    Lewis Lockwood, R D L Technologies Limited

  • We initially invested in a number of PSL Datatrack modules and benefitted immediately from closer control of our quotations and sales/purchase order processing functions. What’s more, information for a quotation only needed to be entered once and would then run right through the factory once an order had been secured, with no duplication of data required.

    Mark Felstead, AW Engineering

  • We are always looking at ways to streamline our processes and PSL Datatrack was a perfect fit into this philosophy. It has given us greater visibility of sales, progress and stock throughout the business.
