OK, so what is CORE Software? CORE is a software platform or ecosystem that can be used in any business or public sector organisation in order to improve processes within that organisation. It allows organisations to replace paper forms, streamline business processes and improve data collection and reporting.
CORE is a platform that allows you to create simple forms, that collect data about any aspect of your business, or your customers and service users. It allows you to create reports, that provide information about the data that you have collected. CORE also allows you to build dashboards, which show at-a-glance pieces of information that allow you to focus your attention where the organisation needs it.
What can CORE be used for?
CORE is a very flexible tool and is designed to be able to help you to improve ANY business process. However, some typical use cases that our customers have used it for are:
CRM (Customer Relationship Management) – CORE is used to record information about an organisation’s customers and their contact with the organisation itself. Things like managing quotations, jobs and invoices are all covered in a CRM implementation.
HR (Human Resources) – CORE is used to record information about an organisation’s employees and their interactions with the organisation itself. Things like tracking holidays and disciplinary proceedings, as well as holiday and sickness management would all be covered in a HR System.
Time & Attendance Management – CORE is used to record information about staff clocking in and out (i.e. recording their attendance at work). Tracking how many hours staff have completed and using that information to pay their salaries / wages, including interacting directly with most major payroll systems to save time and double data-entry.
Asset Tracking – CORE is used to record information about the assets that your organisation owns and maintains. Used to produce financial statements with the associated value of the assets. Also used to keep maintenance logs along with calibration information when it comes to tools and equipment.
Contract Management – CORE is used to manage the contracts that an organisation has with it’s customers. The tool is used to track and remind the organisation about the renewal dates as well as automatically invoicing the customers at the appropriate time (monthly, quarterly or annually). Invoices can also be exported to most major financial packages such as Sage and Xero.
Health & Safety Management – CORE is used to manage the health and safety within an organisation. Tracking things such as premises, vehicle and ladder checks as well as informing management about incidents that have taken place.
Certification Management – CORE is used to track things like ISO Certifications and their associated policy and procedure management requirements.
How does my organisation move forwards?
CORE is approved as part of the RM6285 framework. You can arrange a demo directly with our team via marketing@espprojects.co.uk or you can follow the normal process for publishing call offs or competition requests if you prefer.
How does the CORE Platform work?
CORE is a web-based tool. It operates entirely online. This means that we don’t need to install anything onto the PCs and Laptops within your organisation in order for your staff to gain access to the system. They can simply login to a webpage.
Our team are able to build the relevant forms, processes, dashboards and reports on behalf of your organisation OR we can teach your team how to build your own! Whichever methodology is preferred by your organisation is fine with us!
