Pelco Consulting has written a very basic backup script that utilises the Windows Powershell interface.

For those that are not familiar with Windows Powershell, it is a command line based scripting tool that allows system administrators to write scripts. In a nut shell, Windows Poershell is the modern day version of the old '.bat' files from DOS.

New CCIG Website
Contracted by AsQuick Computer Services to build a new website for CCIG.

Built using a CMS platform, this new CCIG website was an upgrade from the previous one-page website and featured a new design and significantly more content.

This CMS platform allows the head office administrators to log in and edit the content on the site as needed.

This CMS platform is also connected to a custom back end utility for CCIG, the Online System Pelco built, and allows them to edit stores from the internal system, with the store information automatically being copied into the public website.

This clever setup of a custom online intranet for employees that connects store data to an open source CMS ensure that the team at CCIG have the perfect internal solution with the peace of mind of knowing the front end CMS platform can very easily be extended on with add-ons.

- Price List Manager - This allows admin to create price lists for the various items and allows the staff to assign a currency to the price list.
- Company Manager - This allows admin staff to create, edit and manage companies that are going through teh quoting process.
- Quote Manager - This allows the staff to create the quotes for the selected company by assigning a price list and then adding items from that pricelist into the quote.

1300 Locate Online
Pelco Consulting was contracted to build a custom online booking system for 1300 Locate, after having previously built the 1300 Locate website on behalf of All Media Solutions.

This custom online system for 1300 Locate was built on the Pelco Consulting myJobs platform and features an online real-time calendar for the management of bookings.

This complex system features the ability to create vehicles, assign services to the vehicle and then assign employees to the vehicle. A booking can then be placed against the vehicle and when the user logs into the system via a mobile device, it display a list of work in queue.

The custom system allows these users to go into the job and add comments while on site via the mobile and mark the work as completed. The driver of the vehicle then uses the next job in queue to continue work and the head office staff can log in via a desktop and add bookings as they come into the system.

It features an GUI calendar format that supports 5 minute intervals for bookings and supports both 24 hour booking or booking only via the standard trading hours.

In addition to this handy online calendar for managing bookings in real-time, the system also features a full client and client contact management utility, project tracking and asset tracking for the client.

With a huge range of administrative functions, including editing the lists and options for the various sections, the myJobs platform was customised from the core platform to support the complex booking format that was required by the client.
Spot Dog Walk Online - Phase 1
Pelco Consulting was contracted by Spot Dog Walk to build a custom online system to centralise the management of clients and bookings for the various walkers spread across Brisbane.

This custom online system was built using the platform available from Pelco for online system customisation known as myJobs.

The needs of Spot Dog Walk saw them require a database of customers and the pets for the various clients along with the management of the services offered by Spot Dog Walk.

The custom online system also features staff management and the assignment of bookings to employees. An employee is then able to log into the system either from home or via a mobile device to view the bookings they have in queue.

The online system allows the walker to log back into the system to complete the feedback for the job via a mobile on the job or when they arrive at home. Upon completion of the feedback, the system checks if the client for the pet has subscribed to alerts and will add the feedback from the walk to the email queue. Once the feedback is approved by the head office staff, the email is added to the process queue and sent when the system runs the emails.

In addition to having full management of staff, services, clients, client pets and pet bookings, the system also features reports as requested by the client for payroll purposes and trackign the amount of work completed by the staff.

With a huge amount of control and the ability to easily add new sections, this custom online system build is the first phase in a three stage build for Spot Dog Walk.

The Pursuit of Simplicity in Business

The dream of almost every single employee within a company is for simplicity within the role, be it the removal of double handling, the layout of a workspace or the forms that need to be completed. Every business, even those at the top of the field, has opportunities for improvement.

Before commencing the pursuit of simplicity within your business it must be accepted that with improvement comes change. Evolution and change is one of the key elements to the world and universe and a business that does not feel it needs to change or evolve is doomed to die a slow and gradual death. Even companies at the absolute forefront of the industry or even the world are at the front because they are always looking for improvements and constantly evolving. Improvements in product quality and systems and processes will ultimately result in increased employee happiness due to the reduction of frustration and annoyance in the role.
