Keep reading to learn more about the benefits Solv has gained from implementing simPRO. Before simPRO: The challenges Before implementing simPRO in 2017, Solv Director Lauren McDonald, said the business juggled a combination of
different systems to manage operations. While this provided a workable solution in the short-term, as the business grew, the disparate systems and lack of visibility started causing bottlenecks in workflows. “We used a bespoke system that was powered by a database platform. We used paper certification and a PDA system powered by Microsoft,” Lauren said. “We were finding it more and more difficult to get what we wanted from our software and having to get bolt-on solutions for our requirements was no longer feasible. “An area that I’m very passionate about is innovation and making technology work for the business, not against. Before simPRO we used a lot of separate programs to try and move with the times, but it just got too difficult to manage.” It was then that Solv, a business passionate about providing accessible and personal service, knew it was time to upgrade their processes.
