THE TRANSFORMERS
Excelpoint ’ s unique no-code software product helps businesses embrace digital revolution
BY SARAH WALKER
A
software company is drawing on more than 20 years ’ product development to offer manufacturers a “ transformative ” customisable product they can use to automate processes , analyse data , improve collaboration and manage workflow .
Excelpoint has a readily available software solution to simplify end-to-end business processes that can be customised to a particular organisation within days and weeks , rather than months and years .
Using its unique software product , Excelpoint is enabling manufacturers to tap into a world of opportunities to reduce costs , create efficiencies and save time by building systems that allow workers to focus on highvalue activities rather than getting caught up in time-consuming manual , paper , and spreadsheet-based processes .
“ Everyone at the moment is talking about the digital revolution , becoming more efficient , automating their processes – and that ’ s exactly what we do ,” says CCO Mark Henderson .
“ We do it slightly differently , as we don ’ t have to write a single line of code to enable our offering to become bespoke to an organisation – and when you consider writing code can mean that it takes months to develop a solution , by which time the requirements might have changed , this gives us and the clients we work with a significant advantage .”
Excelpoint takes its software product and shows individual manufacturers how they can manipulate and use it for their needs .
“ It ’ s a quite groundbreaking technology . full of functionality and depth , and can deliver on whatever requirements an organisation has ,” Mark says .
“ We work across sectors including manufacturing , industrial services , recruitment , government , and the energy sector , but we are seeing a surge in manufacturers looking to enjoy the benefits of digital transformation using no-code .
“ It doesn ’ t really matter what industry you ’ re in , everyone has a process to follow .“
A team of developers has created Excelpoint no-code technology over more than 20 years – and it is continuously improving and evolving .
Recent uses of the technology have seen a leading packaging manufacturer digitalise its inspection management and quality control processes , for faster communication , waste minimisation and continued growth .
It has also helped a global brand supplying industry , marine and offshore , and the construction sector to automate and accelerate work request approvals , same-day proposal submission , project tracking and reporting , and field-based access within just six months of working with the company .
In another example , Excelpoint no-code technology was used to move a specialist in energy and water efficiency ’ s field-based engineers to a digital solution in just six weeks – replacing a bespoke project that following two years of development , had met only the basic requirements .
Excelpoint ’ s software has also revolutionised a core waste treatment facility operating in a highly-regulated industry , creating efficiencies and replacing a paper-based process of 180 sheets of paper per container with just one sheet .
Excelpoint prides itself on the long-term relationships it builds with its customers , adopting a partnership approach , whereby a solution is developed and rolled out across the business and aftercare and ongoing support is also delivered .
It ’ s a solution that benefits businesses of all sizes , from SMEs to large corporates .
“ We work with our customers to find out what their major challenges are – where the fires are burning – and that ’ s where we start ,” Mark says .
“ We automate and streamline their processes from there , integrating solutions across sales management , stock ordering , operations , waste management , scheduling and planning , purchasing , QHSE , and HR for example .
“ We look at how they can all communicate together and create efficiencies – we can build customers whatever they want using our software to address whatever challenges they are facing .
“ What we offer is a complete end-to-end solution as we ’ ve already built a system that will allow them to do what they want with it .
“ If you want your business to become more efficient and more agile , we can help .”
