Bespoke Development
The Whyman Group are a corporate events management company based in the North East. They plan, organise and project manage events throughout the UK. The company was started in 2000 and has organised large events for clients including Northern Defence Industries and the North East Chamber of Commerce.
The Challenge
Company directors, Emma and John Cartmell, needed a “made-to-measure” IT system that was able to perform project management and financial forecasting as well as event and delegate management. It was important that the system was capable of being upgraded so that it could keep up with the ever evolving nature of the business.
The Solution
Emma and John chose to invest in GreyRidge’s bespoke software for several reasons. Firstly the requirements of their system could not be met by a single off the shelf system, so a bespoke product was ideal. In addition, the fact that it was web– based meant that the company could be run without a central office, and work could be done at any time and location. Emma and John finally decided on GreyRidge after reading their enviable list of satisfied customers. They also found the system to be very cost effective.
The Benefits
The Whyman Group is now reliant upon their GreyRidge system, the business has benefited from its installation and clients are receiving a more efficient and organised service, in fact it has proved a key differentiator between The Whyman Group and their competitors and played a strong role in winning some big contracts. Emma and John were thrilled with how quickly the system was built and installed and how easy it has been to become familiar with it. Their day-to-day work is much more simple and organised now. Another big benefit is that the system is integrated with event management websites cutting down on administration as delegates are able to book events online.
