What do we do?

Our bisTrack software
We provide intelligent solutions to meet business challenges. Our customers include builders merchants, timber merchants, distribution companies, plumbers merchants and other suppliers within the construction sector.
bisTrack is our range of business software products, developed in the familiar Microsoft style — easy for anybody to learn and use. bisTrack manages sales, controls stock, simplifies purchasing and gathers intelligence. But bisTrack is far more than software, providing a joined-up solution with other technologies such as mobile devices, the web and business intelligence tools.
Great news: the Reheat Britain campaign we support has succesfully lobbied the government for the introduction of a household boiler scrappage scheme. From 5 Jan 2010 you are eligible for a £400 grant when replacing an old, inefficient boiler. More at www.boilerscrappagescheme.co.uk
We've signed up to the 10:10 pledge — reducing carbon emissions by 10% in 2010. [ More... ]

Testimonials
"There’s no doubt that bisTrack is a good tool. We’ve a fantastic record for growth and we’re getting a lot out of bisTrack now, particularly over the control of our business."
Mike MacLellan, MD, GPH Builders Merchant"Our computer system impacts on every aspect of the business. Buying, selling, importing, transport planning, as well as accounts. If you install the wrong software, without the right level of performance or functionality, it will cause significant problems throughout your business."
"I can drop-down and drill into any business information easily, which enables me to analyse a situation very quickly. It gives me complete control."
Mark Congdon, Financial Director, Noyeks Newmans"Inventory accuracy is higher because everyone is more focused and our staff can see the benefit of getting it right."
Ian Murchie, Operations Director, Howie Forest Products"If we hadn't changed to bisTrack we simply couldn't have grown like this."
Nigel Williams, Chairman, Premier Forest Products"We were drowning in paper and, as a business turning over £2.2 million, the time had come for us to invest in business management software."
David Biddle, MD, Huntingdon Timber & Roofing"It's a very nicely laid out system with easy to follow structural menus and taskpads which, even if I haven't used a particular function before, I find relatively simple to complete."
Chris Pratt, Pratts Timber and Builders Merchants Ltd"We saw benefits straight away, particularly with the time we saved on monthly stock takes and sourcing information for management reports."
Nigel Williams, Chairman, Premier Forest Products"We looked at several systems, but most of them were using the same out-of-date technology as the system we were replacing!"
