As you would expect, with such a large customer base, Profile
has worked with companies in a wide range of industries and
has provided many of them with total business solutions specifically
designed for those particular industries. Sometimes these
solutions are based upon ready made software, often customised
for the individual company, sometimes involving complete systems
or sub systems.
Whatever your market sector, it is likely that we have more
than one solution to put forward to you for your consideration.
You will see elsewhere the details of the software brands
that we install for our customers and below we list just some
of the industries in which Profile has specialists, expertise,
experience and solutions.
Distribution - For companies in the distribution sector,
the priorities are speed and management of procurement, stock,
pricing and customer order control. Telesales, bar coding,
despatch and multi-location stock holdings are key elements.
This is perhaps Profile's area of maximum experience, with
in depth expertise of the major European and international
products viewed as best of breed. In addition we have a vast
portfolio of sophisticated software that we have developed
specifically for this market sector. [..more..]
Manufacturing - Profile can supply and service the
three leading software products in the UK and we are viewed
as a Centre of Excellence for these products. These cover
procurement control, BOM, drawing control, scheduling, materials
control, resource management, QA, costing, etc. The systems
we recommend cover the spectrum from easy to implement through
to comprehensive control systems, in fact a solution for almost
every size of organisation in most market sectors. [..more..]
Construction - Organisations in the construction industry
need to deliver construction projects on time and on budget.
They need to be able to manage their contracts effectively
and flexibly, handling payments from customers, manage retentions,
handle the special VAT and taxation arrangements for sub contractors
to meet the demands of the legislation of CIS operations.
Analysis and reporting should be state of the art and comprehensive.
Profile has significant experience in implementing systems
of this type. We know the environment well and the pitfalls
to be aware of. We have several products and special software,
both standard and bespoke. [..more..]
Retail -Profile has a great number of customers in
the retail sector, ranging from small outlets to large, multi
outlet and multi product superstores. We have consultants
that are very familiar with the special challenges of retail
trading. Colour, size, labelling, bar coding, special cash
and VAT considerations, specialised reporting etc. We can
implement standard and bespoke solutions for you, fully integrated
with back office system with sophisticated reporting and intelligence
tools. We supply tills, printers and the other essential EPOS
equipment. [..more..]
Wholesale - Wholesalers need flexible and responsive
systems, often multi warehouse. They need to handle the ordering
speedily and securely, often using bar coding and advanced
shipping techniques. Often running trade counters, complete
with EPOS. Purchasing, stocking and sales are often handled
in diverse units, such as weight, length, pack etc. Tracking
margins on sales becomes vital, as margins, in volume businesses,
are critical. Profile, again, has a number of products addressing
the requirements of this sector. [..more..]
Professional Services - Time recording, job profitability,
invoicing, contact management, integration with other systems,
are all features of businesses involved in providing professional
services. Profile has particular expertise in providing services
to this market, by way of standard and bespoke software. We
have implemented a large number of such systems, for engineering
firms, recruitment agencies, housing associations, hospitality,
conferencing. The list is long. [..more..]
E-Commerce - The volume of business now being transacted
via 'The Web' is increasing dramatically, day by day. Virtually
all of our customers have a website, if only for advertising
and information dissemination. But, more and more are using
websites to enable customers to place orders for goods. Typically,
these orders are validated and posted directly into the sales
order processing function, thus speeding the whole process,
cutting costs and reducing errors. Profile has a separate
division that specialises in Web consultancy, design and implementation
and will be pleased to help you achieve business growth in
this increasingly important area. [..more..]
