A Few Of Our Clients
ACM came to PACE with a collection of old ASP and .Net based SQL Server systems, needing a new, better level of support and development. PACE worked to modernise and replace all the old systems and provide new, modern solutions, including scalable customer portals, significantly enhancing ACM's client facing operations.
"ACM provide Waste Management Solutions for a wide variety of demanding business clients. PACE have been our partners for several years now, developing and servicing our bespoke in-house system and helping us to improve the unique online portal that many of our clients rely on. PACE have been both professional and friendly in all our dealings and it is a pleasure to be able to have a company we can consistently rely on to deliver. Knowledgeable staff respond quickly and have a good understanding of our requirements and we look forward to continuing our relationship in to the future."

Staff issues and looming retirements meant that ACM needed a partner to continue the development and management of a number of key systems. From internal operational management systems to mobile engineers applications. PACE took on the role of lead developers and chief support providers, to deliver modernisation of Access and SQL Server systems with .Net developments, and up to date infrastructure support.
Bosch Siemens Home Appliances required an expert partner to provide development of in house Project Management Tools for use in the UK, but also for support of a number of specialist and complex Microsoft Legacy Systems for logistics management. PACE provided that service, and worked with the head office developers in Germany to provide integration to the main corporate SAP systems.
cHRysos had evolved a number of in house databases and spreadsheets as far as possible, but required expertise to develop these into a full application and portal, with remote hosting and access, to manage clients, tutors and accreditation board users. PACE delivered the solution that enhanced the full business operation and supported significant business growth.
"At cHRysos HR we provide professional qualifications and PACE worked closely with us to develop a database that enables us to effectively manage each stage of our client relationship from initial enquiry through to final certification. They approached the project in a professional manner, listened to our needs and responded accordingly. As a result we now have a client management system that works for us rather than us having to go to great lengths to gather data and track progress."
Hubbell (Chalmit) operated a highly complex product catalog with no means to accurately generate or manage all possible product permutations, variations and attributes. PACE developed systems to manage all product data generation, to integrate to ERP and sales systems, generate product BOM's and catalog information, and integrate to plant floor manufacturing equipment, producing a high level of accuracy and clarity to the product catalog and production, and vastly improving overall sales and production efficiency.
"Hubbell produce specialist products for niche markets and our system requirements are just as specific. PACE were able to meet and exceed these, often in demanding circumstances, and continue to deliver during our current and rapid period of growth"
Johnston Racing operated legacy .Net systems and needed a partner to provide support and modernisation, to overcome known issues and to advance to use of their systems throughout the business. PACE have provided this development and supported Johnston Racing as they have become one of the world's most respected training yards.
PACE have further integrated the in house systems to become secure remote mobile accessible, and have integrated horse microchip scanning and reading for accurate data logging.
ePAQ is an initiative created by Sheffield Teaching Hospitals for the development and operation of secure remote electronic personal assessment questionnaires covering multiple medical areas.
ePAQ approached PACE to work to develop the secure portals and management systems required to deliver these secure data driven systems in challenging environments, under stringent controls, and deliver and support the rollout to numerous hospital trusts throughout the UK.
To date ePAQ operates in almost 30 different hospital trusts, delivering many thousands of assessments each week, all supported and managed by PACE.
Meadowhall had a problem with staff parking and commuter parking in customer areas, that needed a solution to free up needed parking spaces to enhance customer visits. They had access to ANPR data covering the site but no way of managing staff records or undertake rogue parking analysis.
PACE delivered a staff car parking management system to allow staff to register and gain access to dedicated staff parking areas, and delivered reports on live, continuous car park abuse for management to deal with.
Post Office required a national cash forecasting system to provide detailed analysis on daily holdings throughout the UK each night for reporting and investment purposes, which PACE developed and delivered exactly as specified and budgeted. PACE then undertook critical support, management and operation of the system for all UK sites.
"There has been a very professional relationship between the Post Office and PACE over the years, and where support and advice has been required, PACE has never let us down. PACE has always achieved all that has been required of them, and have continuously exceeded the scope of our support contracts to ensure we receive the high level of service we have become accustomed to."
UKSE are a long standing customer of PACE. Having approached PACE to assist with a struggling migration of an early application to a later version, PACE have since provided all bespoke development operations for all in house bespoke systems required by UKSE.
"After being let down by our previous programmer mid-way through a redevelopment of our portfolio management system, we had to find someone to see the project through to the end. That's where PACE stepped in. They brought an extremely professional approach to the table and worked very closely with us throughout the development to ensure that we have ended up with the product we wanted."
The University of Sheffield Department of Materials Science and Engineering approached PACE when they had a requirement for a complex booking system to manage equipment reservation, training, and funding charges. They knew roughly what they needed, but not how to deliver it, or if it was even possible. PACE worked with the team to develop and integrate a highly successful user and operator based system to manage all aspects of the departments equipment and reporting.
"We chose to work with PACE because they showed an excellent level of understanding of our needs during the tendering process. Throughout the design stages PACE worked closely with many of our team to ensure our requirement was clearly considered and would be fully accommodated, and they duly delivered a solution that has used leading technologies to overcome and manage a difficult challenge for us.
PACE have taken the entire problem away from us, providing configuration and hosting, data preparation and commissioning, full on-going support, and even working directly with our own IT department to seamlessly integrate the system within our corporate infrastructure. I am very happy to strongly recommend them."
