Flowlens was designed from the ground up to enable remote working. Perhaps we didn’t realise the extent to which remote working might be a necessity, but we’re glad it provides the flexibility our customers need.
Below we share how several customers are keeping manufacturing and commercial operations going, and staying in touch with their customers and suppliers.
Maintaining Safe Operations
Flowlens has allowed us to minimise staff in the factory, with remote working for office staff. We can keep effective social distancing, and still fulfil vital orders into the healthcare supply chain. I can manage jobs, and purchasing from home, whilst our sales team keeps in contact with customers. Gillian Harvey – Operations Director – On-Systems
Unlocking Sales
We’re focused on planning for the future and keeping in touch with customers and other stakeholders. Our sales team have been remote working since mid-March, using Flowlens to update records, keep a note of conversations, and plan in follow-ups using the Tasks feature. It will continue to be a tough time, but this business intelligence gives me confidence that we can ramp-up quickly, and address customer and revenue priorities. Richard Taylor – Managing Director – RT Machinery
Business Continuity
Flowlens helps Renovo in many aspects of its business, even during unprecedented times – we have seen no interruption from our normal work flow processing due to a fully integrated cloud based MRP system. We can pick up right where we left off, either from the office, the factory or at home to play catch up, we are able to access and process our sales orders, sales quotes, invoices and stock on any device. Antony Gray – Owner – Renovo Solutions
Preparing For The Future
At the outset of the lockdown Flowlens was invaluable as it allowed me to see clearly all the live sales orders and status, along with all the live purchase orders and delivery dates, so I could make quick clear decisions and speak to all of our relevant customers and suppliers regarding these when planning to put the business on hold. Flowlens will then also allow us to pick all these back up quickly and seamlessly after lockdown when we continue. Wayne Cramer – Managing Director – GW Energy
Flowlens had already freed me from my desk, but now by necessity the team is able to get on with work remotely, updating customer records and staying on top of tasks. Things will have changed once the health crisis passes, and we’re using Flowlens client data to review and prioritise activity for the coming months. Stephen McGarry – Senior Business Advisor – WorkWest Enterprise Agency
