LARGE FACILITIES MANAGEMENTÂ COMPANY
Quoting and Procurement Support Database. The job was to amend, refine and complete an Access application that tracks quotes for the technical procurement team. Quotes are obtained from suppliers, then combined to a single quote for the sole customer, a major supermarket chain. The application manages the entire process and is used extensively by the technical procurement team for preparation of documents and communication with both suppliers and the customer.
The application was developed using extensive VBA programming to create the user interface, and to create functionality that interfaces with other enterprise systems to automate procedures. It uses an Access front-end over SQL Server.
VARIOUS GOVERNMENTÂ DEPARTMENTS and NGOs
Project Tracking Systems
Many government departments and NGOs run programs in which there are sources of funding being distributed in the form of grants towards projects. A typical project tracking system records a great deal of information about each project, including briefing and background; team and responsibilities; budget and forecast; outcomes and deliverables; milestones and variations; associated contacts and stakeholders; action log; and linked documents. There are usually also a variety of reports.
We have developed such systems for many government departments and NGOs, the most recent being VicHealth, WaterAid, and DELWP. Each one is unique â some using Access alone, while others use an Access front-end over SQL Server, all requiring extensive VBA programming.
Such projects have often included training delivery and development of documentation.
