ASG

Bulwell Community Toy Library

Bulwell Toy Library commissioned us to develop a membership, toy and play session system capable or recording their members and activities.  There were 2 key goal for this system, firstly to be able to provide usage figures required by their funding bodies (they are a registered charity) and more excitingly the system analyses a number of key areas and suggests ‘connections’ between members, allowing Bulwell Toy Library to put children of similar backgrounds, interest or other factors in touch.

“Our new database is just what we needed to make sense of our expanding services and information requirements. Justin created a flexible system that works with us and throughout he has supported us patiently and made sure it adapts to our needs if they change.” Steve Parkinson, Founder

Flatpack Construction Company

The Flat Pack Construction Company are a national group of professional flat pack assemblers who will assemble your flat pack furniture for you. Working for the general public and major companies directly (such as Tesco) they required a system to produce quotes, manage the team of national fitters and reduce their admin. One simple but effective trick was to provide SMS directly from their system so communication with fitters could be automated as much as possible. Since it’s introduction we have also developed a portal for their fitters to view job details 24/7 and update job progress.

Kings Audio

We have worked with Kings Audio for a number of years providing consultancy, bespoke software and more recently Stock Tracker. One very interesting project was to write a bespoke system that allows Talking Newspapers (for the blind and poorly sighted) to use digital recording and USB memory sticks instead of their cassette based publications. This has taken off in a big way with TN’s across the country adopting this new technology.

Defy Logic have undertaken several bespoke projects for Kings Audio, for both in-house use and end user Software Development. Each task has been completed to our total satisfaction, we appreciate their commitment and professionalism

Legends Furniture

Legends Furniture in Stoke on Trent supply quality upholstered furniture to the national furniture market.  They have a global supply chain and needed a bespoke system to manage their orders, stock and purchasing.  After the launch of their ‘database system’ we were invited back to develop a customer facing web portal, allowing their customers to view stock levels and place orders online.
