Acumen

Unique

Welcome to a company that works hard to ensure that its reputation remains high at all times. We achieve this by writing your software in-house (not in another country), and delivering on time and to budget. We pride ourselves on understanding our customers' needs and developing the appropriate bespoke solution for them. We use the latest development technologies and apply our own very high standards to produce software that will enhance your company and the way it works - and, if necessary, we'll do all of this while holding your hand throughout the entire project.

Whenever you take on new staff there's a settling-in period, a time when you and the new guy get to know each other, get to understand each other's ways of doing things, adjust, get comfortable, learn the ropes, fit in.

So why do you expect someone else's software solution to be able to fit straight into your business, straight out of the box? Why do you expect it to bring immediate benefits to your business, when it was designed by somebody else, for somebody else?

Still looking for that elusive off-the-peg software solution that will fix your business's specific problems? Still throwing good money after bad? Read our portfolio  and see a better way of achieving your aims.

Wondering how we differ from other software developers? The answer is all in our values, the fundamental rules of our business that make our service the most outstanding that you'll encounter.

Wondering what technologies we use when developing projects and why we choose them over the myriad of other options, then read our technologies  page.

Need a chat, an understanding ear, a sounding-board to help you get to grips with your business's needs? A conversation costs nothing, but could be the start of a renaissance for your business - so contact us  today!

Ashford Drawing Database

Ashford Drawing Database

Ashford Construction PLC were already using a drawing database system that had been built in-house using Microsoft Access. The application tracked all drawings and drawing issues for all construction projects. The application had some fundamental problems such as the database being kept on an individual PC for each contract which could, therefore, only be accessed by that computers user.

Using the existing application as a guide, Acumen created a prototype interface and produced a detailed specification. Our graphic designer came up with a bold design that used the colours from Ashford Construction's logo and GREEN BUTTONS! We weren't sure if the client was brave enough to go with such a strong design, perhaps preferring more traditional grey buttons, but they were and we congratulate them for it.

"..... The teams professionalism and naturally high standards made the whole process very easy and I’m pleased to say that they produced an excellent piece of software ........ I would recommend Acumen to anyone and will happily use them again in the future." - Chris Lucas, Ashford Construction
