123insight is an award-winning system designed to address the flaws in traditional MRP/ERP system selection and implementation methods. Available since 2000, the system is provided on a 'pay as you go' monthly subscription with no contract or penalties and is supplied complete, not in modules. The company publishes transparent pricing on its website and offers regular, free two-and-a-half hour evaluation workshops which are held across the UK, allowing you to check the suitability of the product. You can book staff on no-obligation training courses – if you do not wish to continue, just walk away. Only six days of training are needed. Rather than be drawn into a lengthy evaluation process that can really cost you significant amounts of time and money, many companies decide to try 123insight. The company's risk-free approach allows you to be up and running with a minimum of fuss and financial outlay.

Applications/Products
Manufacturing management: 123insight is an advanced manufacturing enterprise management system: a true .Net software application based on Microsoft's SQL, delivering simplicity for day-to-day operational use. It is everything that you would expect, from initial estimates and quotes, through sales and purchasing, full stock and manufacturing control, despatch, invoicing with accounts integration and interfacing options, as well as CRM+. CRM+ in 123insight terms is more than managing client or customer relationships; it is an entire 'communications' and 'workflow' capability that can streamline and control all business processes and procedures including stores scanning, along with service and repair.
Case Study
Adapt EMS acquired two companies in 2006, one using 123insight and the other had purchased a system costing £150,000, with a further £120,000 of customisation. It evaluated other systems, all of which were over £100,000. It considered updating both systems previously in use, but after discovering many issues with the £150,000 system it opted to update 123insight. As a result, it has reduced stock by 20% (£60,000), is taking advantage of the CRM+ and SDK (interfacing to tablets on the shopfloor), and is paying less for 123insight's monthly subscription than it was paying for maintenance alone with the previous system. Another benefit is the ability to quickly create and import new jobs in seconds, which previously could have taken a couple of days. Guy Janney, managing director, says: "We're just delighted with the software and we love the way the company runs. Without being too clichéd, the support has been exemplary."
