    We have been customers of PSL Datatrack for over 15 years. The software is purpose-built for companies such as ourselves and allows production, despatch and accounts to work together seamlessly. PSL Datatrack is very user-friendly and easily picked up by our employees. We cannot fault their customer service as the friendly and helpful staff are always on the other side of the phone to help with any queries or technical difficulties.

    Georgia Lane, Wilco Manufacturing Limited

    We could see the benefits that PSL would bring to us from just having the initial demonstration. Since installing the system and going live it has streamlined our whole order book processes from quotation through to invoice. The system is very easy to use and navigate, and information readily-available at the click of a button which also help with customer audits.

    Simon Fisher, Machining Technology (Mach-Tech) Ltd

  • 5 stars on Google

    I am the Managing Director of a subcontract engineering company called Northants Precision Ltd. PSL have been crucial in the success of my business. From day one I had PSL onboard and this allowed me to gain ISO 9001 accreditation within my first year of trading. Furthermore, Geoff and his team are always just a phone call away for any assistance or training we require. I really can’t recommend PSL Datatrack highly enough. The single most valuable investment I made for the business for sure.

    Dan Green, Northants Precision Ltd

  • 5 stars on Google

    We’ve been customers of PSL for over 5 years now and Datatrack has made a huge, positive difference to the way we work. Whereas before, we’d have Excel spreadsheets here, Word documents there and random pieces of paper everywhere, Datatrack has brought all this together and now everything works seamlessly. The team themselves are very quick to assist if we have any problems and I cannot fault their service.
