Ever wanted to automate your work processes but didn't know where to start?
A bespoke database developed to your own requirements can greatly improve your company's overall efficiency. Mundane tasks can be automated and centralised, and old manual systems can be replaced. As the data would be stored on your server there would be no more frantic searching on individual's local drives looking for elusive information. The costs involved to have a system built may well be lower than you think. The chances are you already own the software and hardware needed to do this. Any company that currently creates letters and invoices laboriously in Word or gets frustrated attempting to use Excel in ways it wasn't designed for may well find their Microsoft Office suite contains the Access database application. Even if your copy comes without Access, ATB can write you a bespoke database which will run in Microsoft's runtime version of the program incurring no cost to you. Rather than purchasing an off-the-shelf solution which will dictate the way you work, allow ATB to develop an application to your own specifications ensuring it follows your work patterns as accurately as possible. Below is a brief outline of the advantages of having your system custom built by ATB:
• Modular approach allowing for future expansion and display via a web browser • Printed documents and reports designed to show what is important to you • Interface designed to reflect your company's branding
• Fast response time to any issues or requests
• Use of contract hours if you are already an ATB client
And these are just a few components we have been asked to incorporate into our systems:
• Validation of data as it is entered
• Secure login allocating differing access levels dependant on the user's status
• Full audit trail and error logging
• Production of many varying types of correspondence
• Security of data and prevention of unrecorded changes or deletions
• Integration with other applications, e.g. Sage, Word, Excel, Outlook, websites, etc.
• Transaction processing with rollback if defined conditions aren't met
• Generation of automated reminders and emails with required detail saved as attached PDFs
