Retail Oracle – Case Study

Sigma Group and DJS Project Management are independent businesses offering a range of retail and supply chain project solutions including: store/site surveying, preparation of CAD drawings and scheme phasing drawings, project management, equipment procurement, and health and safety planning.

“The new survey application developed by Amethyst provides us with the ability to conduct multiple site surveys with ease. Our customers are very impressed with their ability to view survey results online through their own secure login.” Craig Bennett, Director – Sigma Group.

The Challenge

Our clients required an electronic system designed to allow on site surveys to be completed by Project Managers. The brief was that the information gathered, including photographic evidence, needed to be immediately available for viewing and editing via on online portal.

After looking on the market for an off-the-shelf IT system, nothing was available that would satisfy the exacting requirements, therefore a bespoke system with built-in flexibilty was required.

A tablet would be the mobile device of choice as this offered portability and a touch screen interface but with the size and power required for a pleasant and productive experience.

A rugged PDA or mobile phone solution was deemed not suitable as it was important that a good size and good quality screen was available to view multiple questions/answers.

The Solution

Two applications were required from a software perspective: a mobile tablet based application was required to capture the survey information, and a central web application to be able to provide access to survey data and reporting.

Amethyst Systems were able to build a fully bespoke system that fulfilled all client requirements and provided a tablet application that can sync up a completed survey in under a minute.

“The Retail Oracle system gives an immediate view of survey data. Engineers can work offline and then upload results in seconds when online. This systems puts us above the competition.” Dave Jordan, Director – DJS Project Management Limited.
