I have been working with Nathan Stone since July 2009 on a database for sales commission & management information.

From the initial consultation period through to the database going live Nathan has shown an amazing talent for grasping our needs and requirements, sometimes with limited information.

Nathan has wonderful interpersonal skills and a generous supply of patience, which he has needed whilst attempting to glean information from me.

If I don’t understand the “technical” aspects of his discussion I feel confident and comfortable telling him I don’t understand and he always finds a way of rephrasing or explaining further.

We have continued to use Nathan for upgrades on our database and without exception he has always given clear and detailed timelines for the project.

If we are experiencing any difficulties Nathan is one call away & can be relied on to provide resolutions promptly.

I can’t praise Nathan highly enough and I have no hesitation in recommending him to work with you.

EventElephant is a self-service online event registration and attendee management system that allows event organisers take bookings online for their events.

Nathan Stone was commissioned just before our product launched in 2008 to build a suite of reports for use internally and he was able to deliver this to tight deadlines.

The desktop reporting application is now used daily by our Finance, Sales and Customer Support teams.

I have always found Nathan very pleasant and professional to deal with. He responds to any queries or new requests very quickly and his work is always delivered on time to a high quality.

We continue to work with Nathan regularly as new requirements come in. Therefore I'd have no hesitation in recommending him to other companies.

Nathan was commissioned to develop a bespoke database to record our sales data, produce key management information and allow tighter control of our commission payments.

From initial consultation right through to implementation we have been able to approach Nathan with confidence. As a result he has produced a system that meets the specification we looked for, and the staff feel comfortable using it.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Nathan to others.

Collins Skip Hire is a busy waste management company in East Anglia. We run four depots, and twenty lorries across Suffolk and North Essex from one central office. Three years ago we operated using spreadsheets, and manually created delivery tickets and invoices daily for every job using our accounts package. This was time-consuming, laborious and hard to control. With an ever-increasing workload, we needed one piece of software that could manage our skip deliveries, invoicing and customer database, as well as improving efficiency and accuracy.

The database needed to hold customer contact details together with information on every site we serviced, and a schedule of all jobs on each site, for that particular customer. It was also important that this database would ease the production of invoices/delivery tickets. Further to this, we wanted to be able to see at a glance the jobs booked in for any given day, and use that facility to produce worksheets for each driver. After working with Nathan, we have a far more sophisticated piece of software than we first envisaged. Virtually every aspect of our business is run through “Taskforce”. It is integrated with our accounts software not only to produce invoices with ease but also to aid credit control. We manage areas such as long-term rentals, permit applications, weight based disposal plus much more on this system.

From the outset we have been able to approach Nathan with confidence. Whether we have a change we want to discuss, or have a question we need to ask, Nathan is always approachable. Given this, over the last two years we have added features to meet our needs as they arise. Nathan and his software are flexible enough to deal with this. This flexibility was one of the major factors that made us choose a bespoke piece of software rather than an off the shelf alternative.

Our industry is undergoing many changes and is becoming increasingly competitive, and we must adapt to stay ahead of the rest, and we believe Nathan's software is an important part of allowing us to do so.

Like many businesses our data is critical. We looked at many packages but were often left saying 'Great, but if only it would ...' A bespoke solution allowed us to collate and control our data, incorporating our own unique business rules, in a way that suited us.

Nathan created two key back office applications that are central to our business operations.

As such it was essential that these applications be carefully designed and comprehensively tested against strict deadlines and budgets.

Nathan was able to produce exactly what we asked for in the timeframe and costing agreed.

I have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

Nathan was commissioned to develop a bespoke system which recorded a transaction in detail from an initial survey to the final invoice. A large contract from a Government Agency necessitated a quick development and the confidence in the system to use it “live” during the development phase.

The system incorporates contact management as well as survey and financial matters and I have been extremely pleased with the outcome of the project. Networking of the system has allowed all our staff to access the same basic information. The added control over all of the quotation process has probably meant that the system has already paid for itself.

The project has gone very well and I have no hesitation in recommending Nathan.
