Bespoke Business Systems from Portack Computers

Are you running off-the-shelf software that doesn't quite fit in with the way in which you want the company to operate?
Do you have a website developed using site builder software that doesn't quite allow to get it the way you would like it to look and operate?
And if you have online sales, do they get imported into your back office software (accounts etc.) automatically or do you have to enter online sales data manually?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have software written specifically for you and your business instead of having to tweak your business processes to fit with the off-the-shelf software that you run?

Have you ever thought about the advantages that might accrue from having your own purpose built website that accurately reflects the culture of your company and gives visitors a clear reason for dealing with you, rather than with your competitors? Have you ever thought how much easier it might be to have online transactions automatically appear in your accounting and other line-of-business systems?

Based in Yealmpton in the South Hams area of Devon, I am Phil wicks and Portack Computers is the company through which I trade. I have nearly 40 years experience in software development and have worked as a freelance consultant for the vast majority of that time, sometimes contracting through consultancies and sometimes directly to end clients.

I can offer software and website creation services to small or medium size companies and to people running a main or secondary business from an office at home. If you want to discuss the needs of you and your business, I will come to visit you, wherever you are, and will talk to you in plain English, not in techno gobbledygook. I know that most people and businesses don't care about technicalities such as whether software will be developed in VB, C#, HTML, ASP.NET etc. I know that most people want to know that I can understand their business and understand what they are trying to achieve. They then want to know how new desktop or website software can help them to achieve those aims and how much it is going to cost. That is exactly what I will try to do for you.

Please have a look around this site to see if the services on offer are of interest to you and feel free to contact me if you have any comments or questions about the Portack Computers or me, Phil Wicks.

Please note that although I can offer advice on purchases and can procure hardware and software for clients as part of a consultancy contract, I am not a retailer and I do not sell any sort of hardware, accessories, consumables or off the shelf software.
