Device Tracking

With the help and expertise of SME Data Solutions this company, which deploys medical measuring devices to their clients, lowered costs, saved time and increased accuracy. A tracking and data-collecting system was built using barcodes to identify individual devices and a Microsoft Access database to connect movement history with measurements. Reports were easier and faster to produce and 100% accurate - improving service to clients and improving accountability for regulators. The new access database played a significant part in returning a profit for the UK arm for the first time ever.

Reducing Missed Appointments

SME Data Solutions helped this hair and beauty services company to reduce missed appointment slots by 30%. They were using a manual appointment book, having previously tried a ‘home built’ Excel equivalent without success. The custom-built Microsoft Access database we provided was so successful that it recovered its costs within eight months. Time is money - the value of significantly reducing missed appointments paid back the cost of the Access system within eight months.

Working without Internet

By modifying a Microsoft Access database so that offline data could easily be integrated with the core system at head office, SME Data Solutions helped this company increase sales staff confidence while at trade shows. Figures no longer had to be manually updated to the central Access database when staff returned from shows, saving time and effort and increasing accuracy. Staff at shows increased sales figures as a result of knowing that their information was accurate and up-to-date.

Commission Payments

A company that relied heavily on the efforts of 600 sales people was able, with the help of SME Data Solutions, to dramatically increase the accuracy of its commision tiering payment system. A Microsoft Access system dropped the number of queries from salespeople from 6000 per year to less than 100. We replaced an overwhelmed Microsoft Excel system ran by five admin staff with an Access database system run by two staff. Putting a stop to overpayments totally hundreds of thousands of pounds each year repaid the cost of development a hundred-fold.

Microsoft Excel is fantastic at presenting figures but at what point do you migrate to a SQL or Access database system?

Bringing Data Together

Today there is a massive choice of software solutions. These can be specialised or provide an enterprise-wide system. However there are many occasions where these are not suitable to meet the current needs.
For the larger company
1.    The size and complexity of larger systems makes changes time-consuming and expensive to implement. Can you meet the needs of new markets/channels, regulatory changes or other shifts in business focus?
2.    Some parts of the business may have significant budget responsibility, but cannot get the enterprise system modified for their needs.
SME Data Solutions creates tactical management systems to bridge gaps until enterprise systems can be modified. Efficient processes/systems from SME Data Solutions can satisfy the immediate needs of small groups of users while communicating with enterprise systems to retain integration with the rest of the organisation.
For smaller companies
1.    Enterprise scale systems are too expensive and time-consuming to consider.
2.    Processes are based on a mixture of small business solutions
3.    Small business solutions often do not integrate, requiring manual intervention to move data from one system to another, taking up valuable time and increasing the risk of introducing errors.
4.    Small businesses are adept in changing to meet new needs and need nimble systems to match.
5.    Having proper systems in place makes the business more resilient to losing key people and their knowledge.
SME Data Solutions specialises in creating processes and systems that bring different business systems closer together. Your data can be integrated and different systems updated immediately - providing a high degree of automation and accuracy.
Business large and small with data integration issues can all benefit from SME Data Solution business and technical expertise. Why not call for a chat today?
