Investments get results
Quickslide says that ongoing investment has resulted in increased efficiencies as well as more consistently high-quality products and services.
Managing director, Ben Weber, explained: “From large overhauls to smaller continuous tweaks and improvements, we’re always looking for ways to increase efficiencies, quality, and sales.”
Systems development manager, James McArthur, is said to have completely redesigned Quickslide’s VS production line, with a fully optimised system tailored specifically to suit the business’s unique requirements.
“The system has been developed using the latest EvoNET management tool from fenestration industry software specialist, Business Micros, that we use across the business to give us greater visibility and control,” said Ben.
“Working with our in-house team of developers, James has produced a system that syncs with the core BM system for use on the VS production line, to drive lean manufacturing. As a result, we’ve seen a dramatic drop in post-delivery remedials.
“We have always been proud of our quality and our emphasis on ‘right first time’, but we never rest on our laurels and will always strive for perfection. Because fewer site visits also mean our service engineers’ time is freed up to focus on actively helping grow our business and that of our trade partners instead.”
The improvements in production run alongside Quickslide’s web developments.
Ben explained: “With our new website our trade partners will soon be able to gain access to a dashboard system where leads can be effectively managed – in effect, it’ll function as a complimentary CRM system for our partners. Meanwhile, investments in clever lead generation tools will enable us to grow with our partners, while we continue to invest in SEO to drive the right kind of customers with the right kind of requirements to our site.”
