With a hint of Spring in the air and Easter only around the corner, I can't quite believe that we are where we are in the year, so to speak. Companywise, its been a whirlwind of activity so far this year.
The migration of customers to the Windows-based MACS Bond module continues apace, hopefully being complete in the next month or so. Following on from the new MACS Dashboard, our super-brained technical team are steadfastly engaged in the transfer of our class leading functionality into a class leading, superior user experience. Certainly by the end of the year our customers will be introduced to the next generation of MACS software solutions!
In the year to date, we've started the phased replacement of legacy systems (belonging to another supplier) in a leading third party logistics provider (installing a combination of both paper-based and rf systems across two warehouses) and the implementation of rf-MACS (interfacing with SAP) in a leading manufacturer and distributor of cement, bitumen and resin products. One of our existing customers has also taken the opportunity to improve its operational efficiency by upgrading to rf-MACS from a paper-based system.
I think the action being taken reflects the mood of many of our customers (and our own views) that now is the time to really stand out from the crowd by investing in better technology for more efficient process, easier access to key management information and reduced costs. That's why we, in addition to the massive investment in our own software solutions, are also in the process of working towards ISO 9001 accreditation. With the arrival of new project management and helpdesk systems also, we are in no doubt that our investment will benefit us and our customers for years to come.
