NELSON & THE PENDLE BUSINESS COMMUNITYLocal heritage.
Local heritage.
A working economy.
Nelson sits in Pendle, east of Burnley along the M65 corridor. Its textile and mill-town heritage is part of a wider local economy with strengths in engineering, manufacturing, furniture, food and construction.
Pendle Borough Council’s investment overview describes an area where textiles continue alongside advanced manufacturing and aerospace engineering. Nelson’s town-centre regeneration forms another part of that business setting.
For a company managing work across a yard, workshop, office or customer site, the practical problem is often keeping information connected. A bespoke application can be designed around the way that information is captured, checked and used.
KEITH WALTON BRICKWORK · NELSONProject information.
Project information.
Captured where it happens.
Keith Walton Brickwork had used a Microsoft Access solution for many years. As the existing Windows system became harder to update and maintain, the business commissioned CBS to develop a new web-based application.
The bespoke system tracks project progress, materials and employee time. Data-connected tablets allow timesheets and material information to be entered on site, with reporting and wider business-management functions developed around the client’s requirements.

A FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Before we begin.
Have you developed software for a Nelson business?
Yes. Keith Walton Brickwork, based in Nelson, commissioned CBS to develop a web-based system for project progress, materials and employee time. The case study explains the project in more detail.
Can a system connect on-site staff with the office?
The Keith Walton project uses data-connected tablets for site entry. We can discuss the devices, connectivity and information flow appropriate to your own working environment.
Can you help replace a Microsoft Access application?
We can review the application, database and workflow, then discuss how to retain useful functionality while improving the system. A web-based replacement is one possible route.
