We Do Not Start with Software. We Start with Your Business.

A successful system must understand the information people need, the decisions they make and the pressures they experience during a normal working day.

Pringle PCS works with managers, employees, IT teams and customers to understand the complete process before recommending a solution. This allows us to remove duplication, reduce manual administration and connect departments that may currently be working from separate spreadsheets, emails and databases.

We can implement an existing Gekko product, customise a platform around your organisation, integrate with established systems or develop a completely new solution from the ground up.

The result is not simply another application. It is a structured business system supported by practical training, implementation guidance and long-term technical expertise.

Gekko 365

The Customer, Sales and Business Management Centre for Your Organisation

Every successful business is built around its customers, prospects, employees and relationships. Gekko 365 CRM brings these essential areas together within one structured system.

Instead of information being spread across spreadsheets, emails, notebooks and individual employee memories, Gekko 365 creates one central business record. Authorised staff can see customer details, contact history, outstanding jobs, sales opportunities, campaigns, quotations and invoices.

Customer Records Contact History Sales Pipeline Staff Tasks Marketing Campaigns Invoicing

See Gekko 365 in Action

CRM, sales, tasks, invoicing and reporting

CRM Is the Central Control Point of a Customer-Focused Business

A CRM should be more than a list of names, telephone numbers and email addresses. It should help the organisation understand every customer, manage every opportunity and ensure important work is not forgotten.

Gekko 365 has been developed and refined since 1995. It provides a structured platform for managing customer relationships, sales, marketing, staff activity, tasks, reporting, invoicing and commercial information.

Customer knowledge belongs to the organisation, not only to one salesperson or account manager. When information is recorded properly, another authorised employee can support the customer if the usual person is absent, changes role or leaves the business.

One Platform Connecting the Complete Customer Journey

Gekko 365 connects customer information with contact history, internal tasks, sales opportunities, marketing, invoices and management reporting.

Customer & Prospect Records

Maintain one organised record for every customer, prospect, supplier or business contact, including addresses, contacts, notes and commercial information.

Complete Contact History

Record calls, emails, meetings, quotations, conversations and agreed actions so the complete relationship remains visible.

Sales Pipeline Management

Track leads, opportunities, estimated values, next actions and conversion progress from first enquiry to confirmed business.

Internal Tasks & Staff Jobs

Create and assign jobs, follow-up calls, customer requests and departmental tasks with ownership, priorities and due dates.

Sales & Marketing Campaigns

Create targeted customer groups, personalised mailshots, campaign follow-ups and new sales opportunities.

Invoices & Commercial Records

Create and manage invoices, review customer transactions and connect financial activity to the wider relationship.

One Complete Customer Record

Employees should not need to search through multiple systems to understand the customer they are supporting.

  • Company and trading information
  • Multiple contacts and departments
  • Telephone numbers and email addresses
  • Customer preferences and requirements
  • Quotations and opportunity history
  • Previous invoices and transactions
  • Outstanding tasks and follow-ups
  • Supporting documents and notes

Never Lose Customer History

Important customer knowledge should not remain only inside one employee's inbox, notebook or memory.

  • Record telephone conversations
  • Store meeting notes
  • Maintain email history
  • Record requests and complaints
  • Document agreed actions
  • Identify the responsible employee
  • Create reminders for future contact
  • Allow colleagues to continue the relationship

From First Enquiry to Invoice

Gekko 365 provides a clear sales process so that opportunities are not lost through missed calls, forgotten emails or unclear responsibility.

01

Capture the Lead

Create the prospect and record where the enquiry came from.

02

Record the Conversation

Save requirements, questions and agreed actions.

03

Assign Follow-Up

Create a task for the correct employee with a due date.

04

Develop the Opportunity

Track value, probability, stage and next action.

05

Create the Sale

Progress the opportunity into a quotation, order or invoice.

06

Measure the Result

Review conversion, sales value and campaign performance.

Connect Customer Activity to Internal Staff Tasks

A customer request should not disappear inside an email or depend on somebody remembering it. Gekko 365 allows a task or job to be linked directly to the relevant customer, contact, opportunity or invoice.

Tasks can be assigned to an employee or team, given a priority and due date, monitored through dashboards and transferred when responsibility changes. This gives management a clear view of what has been completed and what still requires action.

Create Sales & Marketing Campaigns

Use customer information intelligently to create relevant communications rather than sending the same message to every contact.

Create Targeted Campaigns

  • Select customers by location
  • Select customers by industry
  • Use previous purchasing history
  • Identify inactive customers
  • Create prospect groups
  • Send personalised email mailshots
  • Promote services and special offers

Turn Marketing into Sales

  • Record campaign responses
  • Create follow-up tasks
  • Convert interest into opportunities
  • Monitor calls and meetings
  • Record quotations
  • Measure conversion rates
  • Review resulting invoice value

Invoicing, Reporting & Management Control

Gekko 365 connects customer activity to commercial results, helping management understand whether sales and marketing work is producing genuine invoiced business.

Invoice Management Create invoices and maintain a clear customer transaction history.
Sales Performance Review pipeline value, completed sales and conversion rates.
Staff Activity Monitor calls, jobs, meetings, follow-ups and outstanding tasks.
Live Dashboards Present important business information in a clear and measurable format.

Stop Collecting Information That Nobody Uses

Many organisations collect important information through paper documents, Word templates, spreadsheets, emails and disconnected online forms. The information may be difficult to find, incomplete or unavailable when management needs it.

Gekko Forms creates a clear process from the moment a form is designed through to final submission, reporting and follow-up. It allows authorised users to see what has been completed, what remains outstanding and where action is required.

Forms can support inspections, audits, surveys, checks, applications, maintenance, incidents, claims, meter readings, stock processes, deliveries and almost any other business requirement.

Standard forms can be created through a straightforward form builder without coding. More advanced workflows and specialist widgets can be developed by Pringle PCS.

Better Accuracy

Required fields, validation rules and approved choices help employees collect consistent information.

  • Standardise wording and classifications
  • Record responsible users and completion times
  • Improve reporting reliability

Work Offline. Synchronise When Connected.

Employees may need to complete forms in warehouses, buildings, vehicles, plant rooms, construction sites and other locations where internet access is limited or unavailable.

Gekko Forms can support offline working on approved devices. Information is stored securely and synchronised with the central platform when a suitable connection becomes available.

  • Continue working without an active connection
  • Reduce dependence on paper backup forms
  • Synchronise completed information later
  • Give remote teams access to approved forms
  • Maintain one central business record

AI-Assisted Professional Reporting

The Gekko AI assistant can review submitted statements and suggest clearer, more professional and consistent wording.

The employee remains responsible for reviewing and approving the final statement. AI supports the user; it does not remove professional judgement.

Original statement
The area was messy and not very safe.
Suggested wording
The work area was cluttered and did not meet the expected housekeeping standard, creating a potential safety risk that requires corrective action.

Turn Form Data into Management Information

Submitting a form should be the beginning of the management process, not the end. Gekko Forms turns collected information into dashboards, trends, reports and actions.

Created to Solve a Real Pringle PCS Business Challenge

Pringle PCS originally created Gekko Planner for its own use—not as a product to sell. As a small family business, we needed one practical place to manage customer support requests, training projects, implementation work and bespoke software development.

As the company grew, relying on emails, spreadsheets, notebooks and individual memory became increasingly difficult. We needed to know which client required help, which employee was responsible, what had already been completed and what needed to happen next.

Gekko Planner helped us introduce structure without making project management unnecessarily complicated. It became one of the systems that helped a small family business grow into a recognised training, support and database solutions provider.

We use the same practical experience to help other organisations plan work, support clients, manage resources and maintain control as their own workload grows.

Everything Required for Everyday Project Control

Gekko Planner provides a clear structure for projects and tasks while remaining simple enough for employees, managers and authorised clients to use confidently.

Projects & Milestones

Create projects, define objectives, identify major stages and monitor progress towards completion.

Tasks & Actions

Break projects into clear tasks, actions, deliverables and follow-up requirements.

Ownership

Assign each task to an employee, department, supplier or agreed project resource.

Dates & Deadlines

Record start dates, target dates, deadlines and important project milestones.

Status & Priority

Show whether work is new, planned, in progress, waiting, completed or overdue.

Notes & Communication

Keep project comments, updates, decisions and client communication linked to the work.

Files & Documents

Attach specifications, reports, screenshots, correspondence and supporting documents.

Dashboards & Reports

Review project progress, outstanding work, deadlines and team activity.

From Request to Completed Project

Gekko Planner turns an email, telephone call or client request into an organised project with ownership and visible progress.

01

Capture the Request

Record the client request, internal idea, problem or business requirement.

02

Create the Project

Define the objective, customer, project lead and required result.

03

Build the Task List

Break the work into manageable actions, milestones and deliverables.

04

Assign Resources

Give responsibility to employees, departments and supporting resources.

05

Track Progress

Update status, comments, dates, completed work and outstanding actions.

06

Complete & Report

Confirm completion, retain the history and report the project outcome.

A Better Support Experience for Your Clients

Pringle PCS support clients can use Gekko Planner to submit requests and follow agreed projects without relying on a chain of separate emails.

  • Log a support or development request
  • Describe the required work
  • Attach supporting files or images
  • See who is managing the request
  • Review current project status
  • Read agreed progress updates
  • View target or completion dates
  • Maintain one clear project history

Better Control for the Internal Project Team

Employees and managers receive the structure required to plan and deliver work consistently.

  • Assign the correct project lead
  • Allocate work to team members
  • Record priorities and dependencies
  • Identify work waiting for the client
  • Review overdue and upcoming tasks
  • Move tasks when responsibility changes
  • Report progress to management
  • Keep client and internal updates together

Project Visibility for Long-Term Clients

Gekko Planner has supported the way Pringle PCS manages customer requests and bespoke development projects for long-standing clients. The approach has been used to provide project visibility for organisations including Nissan and Renault.

Authorised stakeholders can review planned work, current actions, development progress, outstanding decisions and completed activity. This creates a clearer relationship between the customer and development team.

Rather than waiting for a formal meeting to discover what has happened, the client can see agreed live information and the project team can maintain one controlled history of the work being delivered.

Simple Planning with an Advanced Route

Gekko Planner and Microsoft Project

Gekko Planner is designed for straightforward daily planning. Microsoft Project provides the advanced scheduling and resource-management tools required by specialist project managers.

Connected Project Working

Gekko Planner

The accessible project and task environment for employees, managers, clients and everyday contributors.

  • Easy project and task creation
  • Client request management
  • Simple task ownership
  • Live status and progress
  • Shared comments and files
  • Practical dashboards
  • Minimal specialist training required

Microsoft Project

The advanced planning environment for project managers requiring detailed scheduling and resource analysis.

  • Gantt charts
  • Task dependencies
  • Critical-path analysis
  • Baselines and project variance
  • Advanced resource assignment
  • Workload and capacity analysis
  • Detailed project reporting

Export for Advanced Project Planning

Where configured, approved project and task information can be exported from Gekko Planner into Microsoft Project. This allows project managers to continue using Gantt charts, dependencies, timelines, resources and advanced scheduling without requiring every project contributor to work directly inside Microsoft Project.

Pringle PCS delivers Microsoft Project training from introductory planning through to advanced scheduling, resources, tracking and project-control techniques. We can therefore support both the simple Gekko Planner workflow and the advanced Microsoft Project environment.

Purposefully Simple and Cost-Effective

Not every employee needs a complex professional project-management application. Many people only need to see their tasks, update progress, attach information and understand what must be completed next.

Gekko Planner provides a shared online environment that reduces dependence on individual spreadsheets, separate project files and conflicting document versions. Everyone works from the same authorised plan.

The commercial structure can be designed around the organisation and agreed use of the system, reducing the pressure to purchase and manage specialist project-planning licences for every occasional contributor.

Gekko Planner can be used across departments, customers and different project types.

Manage customer requests, incidents and follow-up actions.

Make Better Use of the Screens Already Inside Your Business

Many organisations have televisions or monitors in reception areas, meeting rooms, warehouses, canteens and employee spaces. These screens are often switched off, showing an ordinary screensaver or displaying information that has not been updated for months.

Gekko Display turns these screens into practical communication tools. Images can be uploaded, organised into named slideshows and displayed continuously in a professional full-screen loop.

The content can support marketing, employee communication, health and safety, training, company branding, customer information and internal performance awareness.

When information needs to change, an authorised user updates the slideshow through the portal. The approved display then shows the new content without somebody having to manually replace files on each individual screen.

From Image Upload to Full-Screen Display

Gekko Display is designed to make digital signage straightforward for organisations that do not need a complicated broadcasting platform.

White-Label Software | Partner Development | Source Code Options | Ongoing Support

White-Label Software Development

Your Brand. Your Client. Your Commercial Opportunity. Our Development Expertise.

Pringle PCS can design, develop and support professional software solutions that are presented entirely under your company’s branding. You retain the customer relationship, control your selling price and build a new product or service offering without having to recruit and maintain a complete development team.

Our highly experienced developers work behind the scenes, giving your organisation access to decades of database, web, integration and business-system development experience while your brand remains at the front of the customer relationship.

Your Branding Your Client Your Revenue Source Code Options Pringle PCS Support
Your Company Branding The product can be presented using your company name, colours, logo and customer-facing identity.
Your Client Relationship You remain the main commercial contact and retain control of the customer experience.
100% of Your Client Invoice You set the end-client price, issue the invoice and retain the revenue you charge the customer.
Flexible Code Ownership Choose a managed licence, source-code release or agreed ownership assignment.

Launch a Professional Software Product Without Starting from an Empty Page

Creating a successful business system takes much more than writing a few screens and database tables. It requires process knowledge, architecture, security, user permissions, reporting, testing, deployment, support and continuous development.

Pringle PCS has spent decades developing customer management systems, operational databases, web portals, workflow tools, dashboards, integrations, stock solutions, invoicing platforms and secure online services.

A white-label partnership allows your organisation to benefit from that experience immediately. Instead of beginning at the first line of code, your project can begin from proven development methods, established system structures and reusable technical foundations.

This can move a project forward considerably faster, reduce technical risk and give your company a professional product that can be sold as part of your own service portfolio.

What Can Be Developed Under Your Brand?

The solution can be built around a specific customer requirement or developed as a product that your company can sell repeatedly to several clients.

Business Databases

Customer, staff, stock, asset, task, project, case, compliance and operational management systems.

Customer Portals

Secure branded portals allowing customers, partners or suppliers to submit, review and manage information online.

CRM & Sales Systems

Customer records, contact history, sales opportunities, campaigns, tasks, quotations, orders and invoices.

Workflow Automation

Replace repetitive administration with approvals, alerts, automatic task creation and structured departmental workflows.

System Integration

Connect existing applications, databases, finance systems, Microsoft 365 services and approved external platforms.

Reporting & Dashboards

Create branded reports and live dashboards that turn operational information into meaningful management insight.

You Own the Customer Relationship and Control the Commercial Opportunity

Your company determines how the product is positioned, how it is marketed and what the end customer is charged. You issue the customer invoice and retain 100% of the revenue invoiced by your company .

Pringle PCS charges only the development, hosting, licence, maintenance or support fees agreed directly with your organisation. We do not automatically take a percentage of your customer invoice or interfere with the commercial relationship you have developed.

This gives your business the opportunity to add a new service, increase customer value and create recurring revenue while retaining complete control over your pricing and client relationship.

A Clear White-Label Relationship

The end customer sees and works with your company. Pringle PCS provides the technical development and support behind the service.

Your Customer

The customer purchases the branded product and receives the service through your organisation.

Your Company

You manage the brand, customer, pricing, contract, invoice and commercial relationship.

Pringle PCS

We provide agreed development, technical expertise, hosting, maintenance and support behind the scenes.

From Commercial Opportunity to Branded Product

The partnership is structured so that responsibilities, ownership, branding, pricing and support are clear before development begins.

01

Identify the Opportunity

You identify a client requirement, market gap or potential software product.

02

Define the Partnership

Agree branding, responsibilities, ownership, commercial terms and support arrangements.

03

Design the Solution

Map workflows, users, permissions, interfaces, reports and customer requirements.

04

Develop and Brand

Build the solution using your branding and the agreed technical architecture.

05

Test and Launch

Test real customer scenarios, train users and introduce the product professionally.

06

Sell and Develop

You sell the product while both teams support and continue improving the solution.

Choose the Partnership Model That Suits Your Business

White-label development can be structured around your technical resources, commercial objectives and preferred level of ownership.

Managed Service

White-Label Hosted Solution

Pringle PCS develops, hosts and maintains the system while it is presented to customers using your branding.

  • Your branding and client relationship
  • Pringle PCS technical management
  • Agreed hosting and support charges
  • No need for an internal development team
Reseller

Branded Product Resale

Your company sells the solution as part of its own product range and determines the end-client price.

  • You control customer pricing
  • You issue the customer invoice
  • You retain your invoiced revenue
  • Pringle PCS charges agreed partner fees
Collaborative

Co-Development Partnership

Pringle PCS works alongside your developers, sharing project responsibility and transferring practical knowledge.

  • Joint architecture and development
  • Developer mentoring and support
  • Internal knowledge transfer
  • Continued Pringle PCS escalation support
Ownership

Source-Code Assignment

The agreed project-specific source code can be released and legally assigned to your company under a written ownership agreement.

  • Access to agreed source code
  • Your developers can continue development
  • Optional ongoing Pringle PCS support
  • Clear ownership terms before development

Clear and Flexible Code Ownership

The code is designed and authored by Pringle PCS. The legal ownership and usage rights are then determined by the partnership model selected and documented in the project agreement.

Option Ownership Your Development Team Pringle PCS Role
Standard White-Label Licence Pringle PCS retains ownership of the software and grants your company agreed rights to brand, use and resell it. Your team can administer and use the solution but does not automatically receive the complete source code. Development, maintenance, hosting and technical support remain managed by Pringle PCS.
Project-Specific Source Release Agreed project-specific code is released under the licence or ownership terms stated in the development agreement. Your developers can review, maintain and continue developing the released project-specific code. Pringle PCS can remain available for support, mentoring, development and specialist escalation.
Full Ownership Assignment Legal ownership of the agreed project-specific material transfers to your company following completion, payment and formal written assignment. Your development team can independently maintain and extend the assigned solution. Pringle PCS can continue supporting the system if requested, but your company is not locked into mandatory development support.

Created by Pringle PCS, with Full Ownership Available Where Required

Every solution remains designed and created by Pringle PCS. Under the standard white-label arrangement, Pringle PCS retains legal ownership and provides the partner with agreed rights to brand, sell and use the product.

Where your organisation requires full ownership, ownership of the agreed project-specific source code can be formally transferred through a written assignment. The code remains originally authored by Pringle PCS, but your organisation becomes the legal owner of the material included within the assignment.

This allows your own developers to continue improving and expanding the product internally while still retaining access to Pringle PCS for technical support, specialist development or additional project capacity.

How Reusable Development Benefits Every Project

Pringle PCS has spent many years developing frameworks, reusable modules, utilities, reporting tools, security controls and proven technical methods. These assets can move a new project forward much faster than beginning every solution from nothing.

Unless an exclusive assignment is expressly agreed, Pringle PCS retains ownership of its pre-existing frameworks, reusable components, generic utilities, development methods and technical know-how. We may use these non-confidential foundations to support and improve other projects.

This balanced approach allows each new project to benefit from years of development while protecting the confidential and commercially valuable elements that belong specifically to your organisation and customers.

Continue Development with Your Own Team

Where source-code access or ownership has been agreed, your internal developers can take an active role in maintaining and expanding the solution.

  • Review the agreed source code
  • Add new functions and modules
  • Create additional reports
  • Develop customer-specific enhancements
  • Maintain internal integrations
  • Build internal technical knowledge
  • Reduce dependence on one supplier

Retain Pringle PCS Support

Transferring source-code ownership does not mean losing access to the original development team. Pringle PCS can continue supporting your developers and the live solution.

  • Technical escalation support
  • Architecture and database guidance
  • Developer mentoring
  • Code and security review
  • Additional development capacity
  • Hosting and deployment support
  • Long-term system improvement

Protecting Your Brand, Clients and Commercial Position

White-label development depends on trust, confidentiality and clearly defined responsibilities.

Confidentiality

Client information, business processes and commercially sensitive project details are handled according to the agreed confidentiality requirements.

Secure Development

User access, development environments, permissions, data protection and deployment responsibilities are defined for the project.

Written Agreements

Branding, ownership, licensing, exclusivity, fees, support and source-code rights are confirmed before development begins.

The Commercial Benefits

A white-label partnership gives your company a credible development capability and a new route to recurring product and service revenue.

Launch Faster Begin with proven development foundations instead of starting from zero.
Create Revenue Set your price, invoice your client and retain the commercial revenue.
Retain the Client Keep the customer relationship and strengthen the services offered by your company.
Build for Growth Develop one solution that can become a repeatable product for several customers.

Important Ownership and Licensing Information

Final ownership, licence, resale, exclusivity, confidentiality, source-code, hosting and support terms will be confirmed within the written proposal and development agreement before work begins.

Any third-party or open-source components used within a solution remain subject to their applicable licences. A full project-specific ownership assignment does not automatically transfer ownership of pre-existing Pringle PCS frameworks or third-party components unless they are expressly included within the written agreement.

Bespoke System Development

Software Designed Around the Way Your Business Actually Works

Your organisation should not have to change its most important working processes simply because an off-the-shelf system cannot support them. Pringle PCS develops bespoke software, databases, web portals and integrated business systems designed around your real operational requirements.

We begin by understanding the people, departments, information, pressures and decisions behind the process. We then create a practical solution that removes unnecessary administration, connects systems and gives management the information needed to control and improve the organisation.

Database Solutions System Integration Web-Based Platforms Barcode & Mobile Tools Dashboards & Reporting

Bespoke Development in Action

Databases, portals, integration, automation and operational reporting

Bespoke Development Is About Removing Workarounds

Businesses often outgrow the software they originally purchased. Employees begin creating additional spreadsheets, duplicating information, manually copying data between departments and relying on individual knowledge to keep important processes moving.

These workarounds create hidden costs. They consume employee time, increase the risk of mistakes and make the organisation dependent on a small number of people who understand how everything fits together.

Pringle PCS replaces fragmented processes with a structured solution. The objective is not to add unnecessary technology. It is to make the operation simpler, more accurate, easier to manage and ready for future development.

Complete Bespoke Development Capability

Pringle PCS can manage the complete project or work alongside your existing IT and development teams.

Process Mapping

We study the existing process, information flow, responsibilities and operational problems before recommending the solution.

Database Development

Structured databases designed to manage customers, staff, stock, assets, tasks, applications, claims and business information.

Web Portals

Secure online portals allowing customers, suppliers, employees, schools, laboratories or approved partners to submit and review data.

System Integration

Connect existing software and external services, including enterprise, finance, warehouse and operational platforms.

Barcode & Scanning

Barcode, mobile and scanning tools supporting warehouse movements, assets, cages, stock, picking and product returns.

Workflow Automation

Automate repetitive steps, assign responsibility, trigger notifications and move information through an agreed approval process.

Reporting & Dashboards

Turn operational information into clear reports, dashboards, rankings and management performance information.

Secure User Access

Role-based access, individual accounts, audit trails and controlled visibility for internal and external system users.

From Business Problem to Working Solution

Every project is planned around the organisation, the available information and the measurable outcome the system needs to achieve.

01

Discovery

Understand the business problem, users, departments and required outcome.

02

Process Review

Map the current process and identify duplication, delays and operational risk.

03

Solution Design

Define the database, workflow, interfaces, permissions and reporting structure.

04

Development

Build the agreed solution using controlled, documented development stages.

05

Testing & Training

Test real scenarios and train users around their actual roles and responsibilities.

06

Support & Development

Support the live system and continue improving it as the organisation changes.

Integrate Existing Systems

A new solution does not always require the replacement of every existing platform. Where appropriate, Pringle PCS can connect established systems and create a controlled exchange of data.

  • Finance and accounts platforms
  • Sage and related business applications
  • Enterprise systems such as A400
  • Microsoft 365 and reporting tools
  • Warehouse and barcode systems
  • Customer and supplier portals
  • Existing databases and spreadsheets
  • Third-party services and data feeds

Build a New Platform

Where no suitable system exists, Pringle PCS can create a new web-based platform around the complete operational requirement.

  • Secure internal business systems
  • External customer and partner portals
  • Application and approval systems
  • Stock, asset and resource management
  • Claims and returns platforms
  • Laboratory and testing schemes
  • Performance and productivity systems
  • Bespoke management dashboards

Work Alongside and Upskill Your Development Team

Pringle PCS can support an internal development or IT team without replacing it. Our developers can provide practical guidance, additional project capacity, architecture support, code review and assistance with difficult integration or database requirements.

We can also mentor employees so that they understand the solution and become more capable of supporting, maintaining and developing it internally. This protects organisational knowledge and strengthens the capability of your existing team.

Selected Bespoke Development Experience

Our solutions have supported commercial, manufacturing, health, education, laboratory, public-sector and wholesale operations.

Nissan, Renault & GXO

Warehouse integration, productivity, claims, scanning, assets and dealership returns

Pringle PCS has supported a long-running programme of operational system development connected to Nissan and Renault warehouse, distribution and dealership processes.

The work developed through several major phases, beginning with support for bringing operations together within a shared warehouse environment and creating systems to improve visibility, productivity and operational control.

2001

Warehouse Consolidation

Support for the movement of Renault and Nissan operations into a shared warehouse environment, connecting information and helping the operation function as one controlled resource.

2007

Operational Systems

Expansion into productivity and timesheet management, perpetual inventory, barcode scanning, asset returns, cage management and supporting HR-related systems.

2017

Dealer Claims & Returns

Further development of dealership claims and returns processes, connecting barcode information and allowing dealerships to review associated cages and book parts for return.

Productivity and Workforce Management

A dedicated timesheet and productivity-management system was created to help monitor employee and warehouse activity. The solution supported management reporting and provided greater visibility of team performance over many years.

Claims and Dealer Returns

A claims platform was developed to allow dealers to submit return claims and progress them through the required Nissan and Renault process. This reduced manual administration and provided a clearer history of each claim.

Barcode, Cage and Asset Management

Barcode information was connected to the bespoke system so that cages, assets and returned parts could be associated with the correct dealership and operational process.

  • Timesheet and productivity management
  • Warehouse and regional visibility
  • Dealer claims and parts returns
  • Perpetual inventory management
  • Barcode scanning
  • Asset returns
  • Cage management
  • Supporting HR systems

Health & Safety Executive

Laboratory testing, asbestos schemes, performance assessment and reporting

The Health & Safety Executive required a system to assess the performance of laboratories involved in identifying asbestos within bulk materials.

The Asbestos In Materials Scheme, known as AIMS, is managed by HSE Testing and Monitoring. It supports laboratory registration, membership, sample distribution, participant results and performance assessment.

Secure Laboratory Portal

Pringle PCS developed a dedicated website that enables participating laboratories to sign in securely and record their test results through one controlled platform.

Performance Assessment and Reports

The system processes participant information and generates detailed performance reports for each laboratory. It also creates a complete summary report for each testing round, improving consistency and reducing manual data processing.

Expansion Across Multiple Schemes

The platform was subsequently expanded to support laboratories participating in additional schemes, including:

  • AIMS
  • AISS
  • LACS
  • RICE
  • SEMS
  • Secure participant access
  • Laboratory result submission
  • Individual and round-summary reporting

This allows laboratories to participate in several programmes through one platform, simplifying registration, testing, reporting and scheme administration.

NHS Placement Management

Pringle PCS created an online interface to help students from schools across South Yorkshire apply for work-experience placements within a teaching hospital.

Connected Approval Process

The platform connected students, schools and the NHS through one structured process. Schools could review and approve the student before the placement application progressed.

  • Student applications
  • School approval
  • Placement administration
  • Status and progress visibility
  • Secure people-management information

Coca-Cola Production Support

Pringle PCS supported the use of production-line management software, helping the organisation improve how maintenance, system updates and production-line activity were recorded and reported.

Maintenance and Reporting

The work helped the team use the system more effectively when planning and recording maintenance runs, reviewing updates and producing operational information.

  • Production-line management
  • Maintenance-run visibility
  • Update management
  • Operational reporting
  • Practical system guidance

BHI Order, Stock & CRM System

In 2014, BHI required greater control over internal orders and stock as the organisation continued to grow.

Pringle PCS developed a bespoke database solution that streamlined inventory and internal order management.

CRM and Online Ordering

The solution was expanded with an integrated CRM system to improve customer management and was connected to an online ordering platform, allowing customers to submit orders more efficiently.

  • Internal order management
  • Stock and inventory control
  • Integrated CRM
  • Customer information management
  • Online customer ordering

Development Team Support

Pringle PCS can join an existing project when additional development capacity, integration knowledge or database expertise is required.

Build Internal Capability

We can work alongside internal employees, explaining the architecture and transferring practical knowledge so that the organisation is better equipped to manage future development.

  • Developer mentoring
  • Database guidance
  • Architecture support
  • Code and process review
  • Internal knowledge transfer

Wider Public-Sector Experience

Pringle PCS has also delivered systems work for organisations including Doncaster Council. A more detailed case study can be added once the approved project description and publication wording have been confirmed.

Complete Ownership Without Artificial Lock-In

Our normal approach is for ownership of the bespoke project code to be clearly defined and transferred to the client in accordance with the written project agreement, subject to any separately licensed third-party components.

We do not want customers to remain with Pringle PCS because they have been deliberately prevented from accessing their own system. We want clients to continue working with us because they value the quality, support and long-term partnership we provide.

You use Pringle PCS because you want to—not because you have to.

Pringle PCS AI

Researching the Future. Building Practical AI. Teaching People to Use It.

Pringle PCS maintains a dedicated AI development and research team focused on understanding emerging technology, testing its practical value and turning the strongest ideas into useful business solutions.

Our research feeds directly into Gekko development, client consultancy, employee training and new AI-powered services. This helps our clients adopt AI with structure and purpose instead of purchasing tools without understanding how they should be used.

AI Is Moving Quickly. Your Business Needs More Than the Latest Subscription.

Artificial intelligence is developing at an extraordinary speed. New models, assistants, automation tools and services appear constantly, but not every new feature is suitable for every organisation.

Pringle PCS does not begin by selling an AI subscription. We begin by understanding the business problem, the information available, the employees involved and the result the organisation needs to achieve.

Our AI development and research team evaluates emerging capabilities before they are introduced into commercial solutions. We examine whether the technology is useful, accurate, secure, affordable and capable of improving a real working process.

The strongest developments then filter into our Gekko products, bespoke systems, consultancy and training. This gives clients access to practical AI improvements without expecting them to research every new development themselves.

What the Pringle PCS AI Team Does

Our team connects research, software development, business consultancy and employee training within one practical service.

Emerging Technology Research

Review new language models, voice tools, visual recognition, automation methods and AI-assisted development techniques.

AI Software Development

Build assistants, integrations, automated workflows and AI-supported functions within Gekko and bespoke systems.

Data and Knowledge Integration

Connect approved business information to controlled search, reporting, question-answering and decision-support tools.

Process Automation

Reduce repetitive administration by connecting AI to tasks, forms, messages, approvals and agreed workflows.

Quality Testing

Test prompts, outputs, business rules, permissions and human approval controls before live use.

Training and Knowledge Transfer

Teach employees and managers how to use AI effectively while understanding its limitations and responsibilities.

From Business Problem to Responsible AI Solution

Every project follows a controlled process. We do not automate an activity simply because the technology can do it.

01

Understand the Problem

Identify the time, cost, service or information challenge the business wants to improve.

02

Review the Process

Map the employees, data, systems, decisions and existing risks.

03

Create a Prototype

Build a limited proof of concept using controlled examples and agreed information.

04

Test and Validate

Review accuracy, consistency, security, cost and practical business value.

05

Implement and Train

Introduce the approved solution with permissions, procedures and user training.

06

Measure and Improve

Monitor use, feedback, quality and measurable business outcomes.

AI Should Strengthen Your Workforce, Not Remove Human Responsibility

The strongest AI solutions do not simply replace an employee. They remove repetitive work, provide faster access to information and help skilled people produce a more consistent professional result.

Employees remain responsible for judgement, customer relationships, approval, safeguarding, management decisions and the final quality of important work.

Our objective is to create AI assistants, not uncontrolled AI authorities . This approach increases productivity while also improving employee confidence and skill.

What AI Can Help With

  • Summarising approved information
  • Drafting emails and reports
  • Transcribing voice messages
  • Creating structured draft records
  • Identifying missing information
  • Suggesting clearer professional wording
  • Searching approved business knowledge
  • Classifying forms and requests
  • Creating tasks and reminders
  • Identifying patterns and trends

What People Continue to Control

  • Final approval and business decisions
  • Customer relationships
  • Legal and regulatory judgement
  • Safeguarding and confidential matters
  • Financial authorisation
  • Employee-management decisions
  • Quality checks and professional review
  • Exceptions and unusual circumstances
  • Ethical responsibility
  • Accountability for the final outcome

Practical AI Solutions for Real Business Activity

Develop the Skills of Your Workforce

Practical AI Training for Employees, Managers and Technical Teams

AI can only improve productivity when employees understand how to use it properly. Pringle PCS provides practical training that connects AI to real roles, tasks and business objectives.

Training can be delivered using demonstrations, workshops and approved business examples. We help employees understand both what AI can do and when human review remains essential.

AI Awareness

Understand AI terminology, opportunities, limitations and common business uses.

Effective Prompting

Give clearer instructions, provide context and improve the quality of generated results.

Documents and Reporting

Use AI to draft, review, summarise and improve business documents responsibly.

Email and Communication

Create clearer professional emails, campaigns, responses and follow-up messages.

AI for Managers

Review productivity opportunities, governance, workforce impact and implementation priorities.

Safe and Responsible Use

Protect confidential information, verify output and follow company approval procedures.

AI Automation Workshops

Identify repetitive processes and design practical automation opportunities.

Developer Support

Help technical teams understand integration, testing, security and AI system architecture.

AI Champions

Develop internal employees who can promote good practice and support colleagues.

Responsible AI Is Part of the Solution, Not an Optional Extra

AI-generated information can be useful, but it can also be incomplete, inaccurate or inappropriate. Pringle PCS designs solutions around controlled information, clear user permissions and appropriate human approval.

Human Oversight Important outputs remain subject to review and approval by an authorised person.
Data Protection Confidential information is handled according to the agreed system, permissions and service.
Accuracy Checks Generated content must be checked against reliable business information.
Auditability Where appropriate, the system records users, actions, approvals and changes.
Security Access, integrations and data movement are controlled around the approved design.
Fairness and Suitability AI use should be appropriate for the decision, audience and potential impact.
Clear Policies Employees need simple rules explaining what information and tools are approved.
Known Limitations Users are taught that AI can make mistakes and should not be trusted without review.

Continuous Research. Controlled Development. Measurable Improvement.

AI development does not finish when the first system goes live. Models, providers, regulations and business needs continue to change.

Monitor New Developments

Review relevant new models, tools, providers and emerging commercial capabilities.

Test in Controlled Environments

Evaluate potential functions before placing them inside client-facing or operational systems.

Measure Business Value

Review whether the solution saves time, improves quality or supports stronger customer service.

Continue Improving

Refine prompts, workflows, permissions and training as requirements and technology evolve.

The Business Result

The purpose of AI is not to make your business appear modern. It is to create a measurable improvement in how people work and how customers are supported.

Higher Productivity Reduce repetitive administration and give employees more time for valuable work.
More Professional Service Improve the clarity, consistency and speed of customer communication.
Stronger Workforce Skills Give employees practical AI knowledge that supports their existing expertise.
Better Business Insight Turn approved operational information into clearer summaries, trends and management actions.

AI Development and Service Information

AI functions, providers, integrations, data access, model availability, usage costs and results will depend on the agreed project, licences, information quality and service configuration. AI output may contain errors and should be reviewed by an appropriately authorised person before it is used for important business, financial, legal, medical, safety or employment decisions.
