Bespoke Software Testimonial − The Rail Alliance

Testimonial of Robert Hopkin FInstLM MRAeS (pictured right), Executive Director:

The Rail Alliance is one of the newer Business to Business (B2B) organisations that has been formed to facilitate routes to market for the SMEs in the Rail Sector − whilst it is but 4 years young, it is the fastest growing networking B2B organisation for the UK rail industry and it boasts a membership in excess of 250 companies with reach into 1750 other companies registered on its database ... and that is where Franc of Working Data came in!

We realised early doors in our development as a business that, in terms of business intelligence, we needed a user-friendly, resilient platform with excellent reporting. After meeting Franc Sutherland of Working Data at a Federation of Small Businesses event, we hooked up with Working Data. The integration of their bespoke database into our business strategy has significantly enhanced the prospecting process and its level of functionality is particularly rich (deliberately so) with the long term aim of overtaking and replacing our current CRM.

No matter how complex the question or how complicated the requirement, Franc fielded all our requests and has always delivered in terms of quality, quantity time and cost − so much so that we have called the database 'Franc' in honour of his efforts! Indeed, the answer to many a question in our office can be heard as 'Ask Franc'! I would have no hesitation in recommending Working Data to others.
