A stock valuation computer system installed at CR Taylor Ltd is speeding up operations and cutting down on paper work, according to financial director Graham Baggaley.

The bespoke system from Redcliffe Computers installed at the beginning of May represents a ‘major’ investment and is designed to give the company a more automated and streamlined operation during a time of record business.

It produces computerised quotes right through to invoices.

Mr Baggaley said the computers had completely changed the way the company had been doing business for the past 40 years.

He said: ‘The system will improve efficiencies throughout the firm and the benefits will be seen both internally and externally, especially among our growing customer base.

‘It will also enable us to produce management accounts more accurately. As the system kicks in, we also expect to produce more sales to enhance our bottom line.’

CR Taylor specialises in supplying the housing and construction industry with carcassing and softwood joinery. It recently received its first I-joists order from a leading national housebuilder.
