BOLTON & ITS WIDER BOROUGHA place where business
A place where business
information keeps moving.
Bolton is part of Greater Manchester, with connections to the wider North West through the M61 corridor. Its economy includes manufacturing, distribution, wholesale and retail activity as well as business services.
Bolton Council’s economic growth and resilience plan identifies these sector strengths. Logistics North is one example of the borough’s manufacturing and distribution setting, alongside the varied businesses operating across the town and surrounding areas.
For an organisation managing a flow of orders, work and customer enquiries, the challenge may be less about collecting more data and more about connecting the data it already has. We develop applications around the information needed to keep that process clear.
One view across
the stages of the job.
Work and status
Make responsibility, progress and the next action easier to follow.
Business overview
Bring agreed measures together for reporting and review.
The exact stages are defined around your own business. This example illustrates an application structure, rather than a packaged product.
Manufacturing and distribution records
Explore applications for jobs, stock information, dispatch records and progress reporting, with the scope shaped around your existing operation.
Service and customer workflows
Link enquiries, tasks and documents so a handover between staff does not depend on reconstructing a chain of emails.
Reporting from connected data
Bring relevant information from applications and databases into a clearer view, with agreed definitions for what your reports need to show.
Useful examples
for a new conversation.
A web-based scheduling and job-tracking system made production information available across the business. Explore the approach and client feedback.

Before we begin.
Can you connect order information with our operational records?
We can discuss where that information is held, how records relate to one another and which integrations are practical. The development plan follows your systems and business requirements.
Do you offer a fixed manufacturing or logistics package?
Our focus is bespoke development. We agree the features and workflow around your organisation, rather than assume that every company uses the same process.
Can we start by improving reporting?
A clearer report or dashboard can be a useful starting point. We first establish the source data, what each measure means and how the information will be used.
