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
PSL Datatrack has developed their system in line with the way we have developed our business. The system is easy to understand, versatile and, with the help of the team at PSL, can be moulded to suit whatever business need arises. We would definitely recommend it.

Steve Smith, Brown & Holmes (Tamworth) Ltd
The administration behind the manufacturing of a wide variety of engineered plastics parts in many different batch sizes for many different customers would have been impossible without PSL Datatrack.

Jonathan Newis, Plastic Turned Parts Limited
We contacted PSL Datatrack for a demonstration and it was astonishing that each part of the system matched what we were already doing – but carried out in a way that cut time and integrated the whole manufacturing process, right through from the initial quotation to delivery and invoicing.

Mark Howlett, TK Fabrications
Administrative tasks such as raising purchase orders now take seconds, rather than hours. Reviewing BOMs, which can range from 2 to over 100 items, plus managing outstanding quotations, works orders and invoices has become much simpler and quicker.

James Boxall, Reeling Systems Limited
We credit our improved organisation and adherence to ISO 9001:2015 standards to our partnership with PSL Datatrack.

Lucy Bentley, Mach One Engineering Limited

Rated 5 stars by our clients on

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.

Mike Garside, ANR Manufacturing Ltd
PSL Datatrack has improved our output considerably, with less errors.

Martin Hall, M.H. Hall & Sons Limited

Harry Groom, INRO LLP
Installing Datatrack has streamlined our business. It gives users easy access to relevant information.

Phil Smith, Wealdpark Limited
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
This product has changed our business for the better, I would recommend it to any business – big or small. After sales support is outstanding.

Alan Riley, Newtech High Speed Turning Limited
BHP have been with PSL since 2012. Geoff and the team have looked after us very well over the years.

Russell Thackray, Bernard Holmes Precision Limited
In summary, PSL Datatrack is an outstanding solution for any organisation seeking an engineering user-friendly interface and the ability to manage their entire company under one roof. Its intuitive design and comprehensive control features make it a powerful tool that enhances both operational efficiency and data management. We highly recommend Datatrack for its superior functionality and exceptional ease of use.

Harry Groom, INRO LLP
Ideal software for a subcontractor.

Chip Millins, Sudbury T C Limited
Great company to deal with. Caffyn Engineering Ltd would not be as successful or efficient as it is without PSL. PSL has allowed us to have full visibility over the business, keeping us at the front and sticking to our promises.

Charlie Caffyn, Caffyn Engineering Ltd
PSL has been an absolute asset to our company and its growth. They are a great company to work with and are always at hand to help when needed, from start-up to continued support. Highly recommend their system and company.
