Lesley Long (Director of Women Go Wild Outdoors)

Women Go Wild Outdoors offers women a way to have outdoor adventures on their own terms and to become part of a community of likeminded women. Our challenge was to find business software that would not only meet our marketing and event planning needs but would also enable us to gather data about women's social and business groups across the country in order to create an active community.

It became clear that there was no suitable off the shelf solution so we asked Working Data to build Custom Business Software that we could develop in stages; a process which has proved enormously helpful. We have been able to spread the cost of development and have had time to consolidate each phase before moving to the next. We especially like the fact that we can work remotely with Working Data using Skype and PC remote access software to develop and maintain the database. It feels like we are working in partnership even though we are over 120 miles apart. We are delighted to recommend Working Data to other businesses looking for creative solutions to their data management needs.

Phil Smithers (Business Coach, Action International)

"Before I met with Franc Sutherland and his company Working Data my databases were in absolute chaos. I have a database of approximately 2500 names and addresses some of which I need to contact on a weekly basis. This contact may be a Newsletter, a direct mail letter or a follow up phone call. I was looking for business software that would help me do this in an efficient manner. My current data was spread across a wide range of spreadsheets and other formats which simply did not help.

Working Data came to my offices and immediately took control of my chaos asking me lots of questions on what I wanted to achieve. They took a copy of the existing data away with them and within a week delivered Custom Business Software that is now saving me a considerable amount of time and energy and allowing me to focus on the more strategic development of my company. I would willingly recommend their services."

John Littler (Director, Headway Music Audio Ltd)

"I had ten years of files and bits of paper. Working Data came in and sorted me out incredibly quickly. Now I know what stage each job is at, who owes me what and when it's due. Before we had this system, it was all post-its and hoping to remember what needed to be done. Headway now runs much more smoothly and I have a lot more free time and a lot less stress as a direct result of working with Working Data. We also have some current, relevant business analysis for the first time ever, which we are using to target our marketing campaigns in a much more efficient way than before."

Debbie Kendrick (Distributor, Forever Living Products)

As an Independent Distributor with Forever Living Products, who are the world leader in Aloe Vera Products, it was imperative for me to have a database that was simple and efficient to use. Part of our business is to provide a reproducible system for other members of my team. Because we have organically grown products, our business is experiencing tremendous growth.

I discussed with Working Data exactly what I wanted in a database and how we could combine the two disciplines. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and I now have a database where I can keep control of my customers, distributors and prospects. I have already recommended his service to my colleagues. Thank you Working Data.

Julian & Jane Wharton (Owners, Puddleduck Parts)

Our old spreadsheet system was starting to cause more and more problems, generating work, rather than alleviating it. Luckily for us, we got in touch with Working Data, and it couldn't have been simpler. Mr Franc Sutherland the owner of this Company, was extremely courteous and knowledgeable.

They fulfilled all that they promised to us and excelled in their time frames. Through his company's work, our own company is now working far more efficiently. For the first time, we have a fully integrated system which allows several users to work simultaneously and also gives us valuable feedback about which stock levels need replenishing, which invoices are outstanding and where we are financially.

Phil Keane (Independent Financial Advisor, Lighthouse Temple)

"As an Independent Financial Adviser it is critical to my business that I maintain an effective method of contacting all my clients in order to periodically review/amend their portfolios, advise them of upcoming policy anniversaries, update them with regard to market changes, make them aware of legislative changes which may affect their holdings, etc...

In the past I had mainly used a paper based system which was becoming increasingly tattered, chaotic and dangerously overloaded as my client list grew longer and longer. Time to call in an expert and fortunately for me (and my clients) Working Data were able to quickly assess my situation and deliver a quick and easy contact management database system, one that gave me the confidence to shred all my old paperwork immediately.

I now have a sleek and, more importantly, extremely user friendly system which allows me to spend much more time doing what I do best, advising clients, rather than worrying about who to call and when. In addition it is also an extremely useful marketing tool enabling me to quickly and easily target certain types of client which would previously have not been possible without hours of toil and effort.
