As a key player in the global no-code systems and process automation market, Excelpoint has built its success and reputation on supporting its customers to streamline and automate business processes, helping them to realise process efficiencies and significant cost-savings. In recent months, the business has won a number of high-profile customers to add to its growing portfolio.

As an award-winning software developer, Excelpoint understands every business works differently. Their consultants work in partnership with customers to deliver and implement cost-effective automated software systems. What differentiates them from their competitors is they can process map, configure and implement software within just a few days or weeks. They are also unique within the software sector as their platform creates customer- specific automated business systems without writing a line of code, saving customers valuable time, money, resources and future proofing the software. Managing Director Ian Brown explains: “What makes us stand out is that we offer a system that can manage all business processes which include CRM and sales management, inventory control, manufacturing process, risk management, planning and resourcing, distribution and customer service, amongst others. Our software can be configured to meet the needs of any business model. For example, we developed a fully automated software system for Polar NE to eradicate the inherent workarounds, providing real-time data and full visibility of their order pipeline. The new system enabled them to match resources to projects, improving efficiency and enabling them to deliver a first-class service. In comparison, our customer NACRO required an Incident Management and RIDDOR system to enable them to record and manage incidents.” Ian added: “Businesses no longer need to work with multiple software suppliers, purchasing multiple licences and integrating different systems. They can now resolve all their software requirements with one easy to use software system. Our business philosophy is to make our software work for our customers, not expect our customers to change the way they do business to match the software.” The Excelpoint technology is also very strong at protecting investment in existing systems enabling integrated business processes that will embrace current information and negate or minimise retraining needs.
