Letter to the Editor - 'Betting the Farm'
A True ERP solution without 'Betting the Farm' and ditching your window fabrication software
Dear Ian
It's a dilemma we've seen in successful growing manufacturing and sales organisations
Your business has grown and needs integrated systems - one set of data from Prospect to Invoice and Customer Care
You need Joined up systems that don't rely on constantly re-keying the same information (or what you hope is the same !)
Spreadsheets and separate pieces of software that don't talk to each other are costing you hours of labour and mistakes and make you look less than smart to customers

Letter to the editor: Are you glazing your heritage units correctly?
Dear Ian
As someone with over 30 years of experience manufacturing sealed units, I can't think of another time where the heritage sector has been so firmly in the industry spotlight. Whether it's best practice, compliance or consolidation, there are a multitude of issues which have ultimately got the industry talking.
I fear though, we could be facing another potential issue, with a number of reported unit failures recently due to glazing methods not being followed. In this case, it involves compatibility issues between the paint used and the glazing method chosen, as well as painting heritage units before the putty compound has cured effectively. Either way, this is undoubtedly one of the biggest causes of unit failure, yet it is so easily avoidable. ...more
Yours sincerely,
Andy Cocker, Director, Slenderline Glass (part of the EJ Cocker Group)
