Background

Every business has unique internal systems that have been enhanced with many years of business knowledge which is why you have an edge over your competitors.   As a continually evolving process every business wishes to make these systems more efficient so they can handle more business without employing additional resources.  One of the best ways to achieve this is to automate those systems.  Although there are many off-the-shelf applications designed to help with automation typically they have one major drawback.  You have to change your systems to fit into the way that the software works.

Why ESP.co.uk?

Rather than changing your systems to suit the software, you can design the software to work in the way that you already do.  ESP.co.uk specialises in developing applications that automate and enhance your systems.  Not only assisting with your daily duties and keeping track of important documents electronically but also end-of-period tasks, such as reporting, can take significantly less of your time. 

The common misconception is that the cost of bespoke application development can be prohibitive.  The answer is that it doesn’t have to be.  The development of a bespoke system can sometimes be cheaper than the off-the-shelf equivalent.  You might also have immediate need for only a few day-to-day tasks to be automated, such as stock control or contact management.  As you realise the benefits of your new software you can add further modules like quoting or process management, thus spreading the costs over many months or even years.   

At ESP.co.uk we develop in many environments, of which the following are typical examples but have the flexibility to adapt to new technology as it becomes available: 

·        Microsoft SQL Server
·        Microsoft Access
·        Microsoft Visual FoxPro
·        Microsoft Visual Basic/VBA
·        HTML/ASP/VB Script/J Script – for web based interfaces
·        Palm OS – for hand held device inputting
·        C/C++ 

There may not necessarily be a need for a truly bespoke application and to have a look and feel consistent with your corporate image would be sufficient.  In these instances we have a stock of customisable building blocks which when used can considerably reduce the development costs.  These include: 

·        Stock Control/Asset Management
·        Sales/Purchasing
·        Maintenance Systems
·        Contact Management
