Support to scope out business management system under KE4BB Project

The organisation is looking for support to bring data from the following areas into one business management system:
1.Sales Report Generation (including Data Analysis)
2.Brand Information, Onboarding & Comms
3.Stock Management & Ordering
The idea being to eradicate the need for spreadsheets and to automate as much of the process for each area as possible as numerous systems and reporting tools are used. Due to the unique operating area of the business there is no off the shelf model that can be used and the organization would like to develop a system that meets their needs and can potentially be developed by an inhouse software team and is easy to update and maintain.

A project with a local SME (Small Medium Enterprise) to improve their current workflow processes (make them more efficient) and save cost (time). A list of software solutions was presented (including a temporary short term software fix) by University of Northampton. The feedback from the company was that this has helped them save a lot of time (money) by improving efficiency of existing workflow processes.

A presentation with proposed solutions including pros/cons of each option, software and skills. A range of options to help development of the system post this scoping will be including such as Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, Placements, Graduate roles, systems needs.
