Purchasing

Shop Floor

We now have one version of the truth. Processing times have reduced and there is no lost information as there was with our previous paper-based system. We are more confident with our quoting, can process more orders and now have the controls in place to become ISO 9001 accredited.

Emily Coleman, CNC 2010 Ltd
With a future focus on scheduling and forecasting, K & M Precision Engineering Limited is poised to continue its upward trajectory with PSL Datatrack as a valued partner.

Denise Dunderdale, K & M Precision Engineering Limited
It is designed specifically for subcontract precision engineering companies and we considered the modularity of the system particularly important as this offered us the flexibility to expand it in future.

Phill Wiles, Miniature Manufacturing
It is one of the best investments we ever made. We have added to the original modules as our business requirements changed plus we get all the upgrades and great support from PSL Datatrack.

Andy Allan, Linear Precision Engineers Ltd
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
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.

Great team and very professionally run. Understanding to all commercial needs, even the most ridiculous-sounding. No hesitation in recommending Prospec Systems and the Datatrack software to companies seeking control, reporting, traceability and status boards.
