OLDHAM IN GREATER MANCHESTERAn industrial background.
An industrial background.
A broader set of opportunities.
Oldham lies in the north-east of Greater Manchester, with a business community extending beyond the town centre into the wider borough. Manufacturing remains part of its economy alongside construction, services and digital activity.
Oldham Council’s business innovation programme identifies manufacturing, construction, digital and creative industries, and low-carbon technology among its priority sectors. That combination creates many different requirements for records, workflows and reporting.
For a specialist manufacturer, the priority may be a clearer production handover. For a project business, it may be keeping site information connected to the office. The application should follow that requirement, with a useful scope agreed before development begins.
MAKE THE HANDOVER CLEARERFrom a record
From a record
to a useful next step.
A common starting point is the gap between information being recorded and someone being able to act on it. We can help define the workflow, connect existing data and design the views each role needs.
- CaptureEnter the information once, close to the task.
- ConnectLink it to the relevant customer, job or business record.
- ActMake status, priorities and the next handover easier to see.
Integrating existing software
Connect applications and databases where appropriate, so that useful information is easier to retrieve and duplicate entry can be reduced.
Modernisation and focused AI
Review ageing software and explore defined AI-assisted tasks, such as preparing document information for a person to check.

CBS developed browser-based production scheduling and job tracking for Trevon in Colne. The client reported better job traceability and fewer mistakes.

Before we begin.
Where is CBS based?
We are based in Burnley and offer bespoke software development for Oldham businesses. We have been developing software since 1996, with collaboration and meeting arrangements discussed for each project.
Can you improve the handover between our teams?
We can review what information is recorded, who needs it and how the next step is managed. That helps establish whether an application, integration or workflow change is the right development scope.
Do we need to replace every existing system?
No. The appropriate route depends on what already works, what data is available and where the problems occur. Integration or a staged modernisation may be worth considering.
