ayrmer software :: what our clients say
We were paying silly money per month to a specilaist SEO company for a website designed the way they did
it not the way we wanted. Yes it ranked well, so they were happy, but didn't generate any enquiries and that is
what it's there for. After a year and several thousand pounds wasted, we spoke to the Ayrmer Software in the office
above ours. They listened to us and produced the site that we wanted, they showed us what to do and
we now do the SEO ourselves (it really isn't difficult). We made the decision to invest money in a
bespoke solution and four months later it has generated considerably more income than it cost.
A gamble at the time but on reflection a no brainer, can't rate them highly enough.
Ivan Bridle, Miserve
After speaking to a many bespoke software developers about developing our online booking system
we were pleased to choose Armyer Software to develop it. Their unique and passionate team
listened carefully and understood our needs through the definition of requirements process but
more importantly they understood the needs of our customers. Their analytical approach to
developing the system highlighted possible technical problems and these issues were dealt with
in the initial stages. In the first few weeks of the system going live we had over 250 customers
register their details and administration time has already been greatly reduced since the launch.
Our system has been really popular with parents and all our parents have commented on how easy
the system is to use.
"Booking my children into the breakfast and after school club is much easier now I can book online."
"The system looks really good and is very easy to use!"
Dan Baxter & Sarah Jones - Business owners, Fun in School Holidays.
Arymer Software have designed a fantastic, user friendly web based system
achieving the goals set by Goonvean Fibres. Ayrmer's technical knowledge and
logical approach made the process of design and development simple and
efficient. Since going live enquires generated through the website have
increased significantly and we are now able to support our global
distribution network through the online product database. We would certainly
recommend Ayrmer Software to any company that is thinking of developing
their own b2b website.
Chris Skelton - Account Manager, Goonvean Fibres Limited
I have worked with Charlie and Ayrmer Software since 2003, when I approached him to
create a bespoke solution for us. He came up with the perfect system for us at a
price we could afford. We are still working with him today, though the system runs
so smoothly that we have much less contact these days!
Charlie has an ability to think around a problem and see it from the client's point
of view. This enables him to foresee issues before they arise, an excellent attribute
in his line of work! He is also commercially astute, quickly understanding the
client's business, and is very creative in the solutions he comes up with. He really
gets involved with your project; he always goes the extra mile, and is not satisfied
simply to meet the brief but, if he can, will exceed it.
Needless to say, I would highly recommend Charlie and Ayrmer Sofwtare.
Sue Trousdale, Managing Director, Summit Events Limited
As long term customers of Ayrmer Software we have continually been impressed with the
level of service offered by the team. We recently commissioned them to design and build
a new website which they have successfully completed to a high specification and most
importantly within budget. From the initial stages they took time to understand our
website requirements and worked meticulously to exceed expectations.
We would happily recommend Ayrmer Software to anyone looking to set up a professional
website and look forward to continuing our work with them on developing interactive
features for our site.
Chris Black, Sales & Marketing, Hussey Seatway Limited
We chose to work with Ayrmer Software because of their technical expertise and experience
in launching websites with a truly flexible Content Management System (CMS), that is
intuitive and easy to use.
We knew we wanted a website that gave us the ability to upload collateral, change text
and images when we need to as we operate in an every changing industry. As leading
outplacement providers we need to be able to provide a significant amount of information
via the website that clearly highlight our business focused, common sense approach.
Ayrmer Software has delivered a system to support our website that will enable us to
realise our Return on Investment (RoI) swiftly.
Sam Gilson, Marketing Director, Connor
The result has been great.
The aim was to maintain the flavour of the old site which had become familiar within the
marketplace but to bring a fresh and modern feel with increased usability.
One of the main goals was to increase the aesthetics of how we displayed photographs of
the product (holiday villas). We now have a content management system which is so simple
to use that someone without much computer experience can update the website after one or
two hours of training. No more complicated HTML coding issues or odd anomalies that arise
when using programs like Microsoft Frontpage and Dreamweaver to upload changes on a site.
From a time saving point of view the result is amazing. The system is consistent in the
implementation of data and looks the part as well as being easy to use, from the point
of the person making the day to day changes to the client looking at our product with the
view to purchase. The better the product looks, the more likely the client is to book,
it's that simple.
The result is that the product looks fabulous and we hope and expect that this will have a
positive result on sales. I am sure it will.
The working process has been explained clearly by the team at Ayrmer Software and the
continued support with other IT issues, social media and modern telephony (VOIP) has been
of great benefit. This level of commitment to a clients individual needs, in this over
complicated technological world where it is so important to make the right choices is
something that is rarely found and much appreciated. The advise and service given has been
unquestionably first rate and we will continue our co-operation with the very professional
team at Arymer Software.
Well done guys, and many thanks.
Ben Bland, Owner, Pretty Greek Villas
Just wanted to let you know how delighted I am with the web site that Ayrmer Software
created for my art gallery business. The web site has enabled me to have a permanent
on-line exhibition of sold and unsold paintings, which my customers have easy access. The
web site itself is of a very high standard and is very easy to maintain. One of the
great things about having an on-line art gallery is that I can be any where in the world
and still be able to run my business. The web site is also a wonderful advertising
tool, especially if I am outside "plain air" painting, which attracts large crowds, who can
then access the gallery and see other examples of my work.
Mark Eldred, Owner, Glenflesk Art Gallery
Ayrmer Software didn't just meet my expectations, they exceeded them. They were able
to help me really understand what it was that I actually required. Their staff where extremely
helpful and were able to explain things in a simple and straightforward way which was really refreshing
as one normally feels like IT professional's speak a foreign language.
I genuinely believe that their expertise has put Bounceback Solutions way ahead of its competitors in
terms of website design.
Wayne Deakin, Managing Director of BounceBack Solutions
Ayrmer Software have developed a piece of software which will allow SMEs to produce management
information and cash flow forecasts. From the start they listened carefully and, through the
Definition of Requirements process, gained a clear understanding of what we required. They considered
a number of possible technical solutions and finally recommended that we use an Apache Derby
database with Java as the programming language. They have delivered on their promise of 'making
complex tasks simple' and have given us an excellent application which we will be taking to market
early in 2010.
Mike Cosby, Managing Director of Protelligent
It was felt that the development would need to go through a number of iterations and
therefore working with a smaller software house would be both more flexible and
cheaper. Having discussed the outline specification with a number of suppliers it
was clear there was a considerable difference in perceived costs and time frames
for the development. Ayrmer Software was selected as it seemed to give the best
balance of flexibility and speed of development but with a sensible cost base. In
addition we felt they understood the issues and were prepared to adapt during the
development phase as necessary. This has proved to be the case.
We are pleased with both the functionality and cost of the end result.
Chris Day, Director, Travel Publishing Ltd.,
Ayrmer Software developed a highly bespoke Client Relationship Managament system for us back
in 2007 which has been a key factor in being able to effectively implement our expansion
strategy and I certainly would not hesitate in using Ayrmer Software for a similar project in
the future.
Joe Boniface, Sales Development Manager, Kestrel Contractors Ltd.,
"That is wonderfully prompt action on your behalf - I would recommend you to anyone
and would not dream of going anywhere else for work. I do have some plans for the not
too distant future and your fast action this morning only cements my previous feelings
about using you in future."
Sid Wyemann, Managing Director, Forex Training Works Limited
"A brief note to say how pleased I am with the web-site you have designed for
me. It is already well up in the rankings and several people have
complimented me on it. I also very much like the ability to be able to
change the text when I feel appropriate without having to refer to you!
It is, of course, embryonic at this stage but I look forward to developing
it in the next few months with your support."
Rupert Stephens, Managing Director, Stephens Financial Ltd
"Ayrmer Software moved quickly and efficiently to transfer over the new
event website, enabling us to effect a seamless transition. The existing
database was imported into our own system (incidentally, also developed
and supported by Ayrmer Software) in an apparently effortless operation,
though we are well aware that a lot of work went on behind the scenes! The
result: we were able to pick up and run with this new event as if it had
always been part of our portfolio! Thanks Charlie [Collins] and your team!"
Sue Trousdale, Managing Director, Summit Events Ltd
"Ayrmer Softwares pre-definition stage helped us to clearly define the objectives for demanding
mathematical and reporting changes - the project came in on time and on budget. The final
result is a World leading simulation package that substantially enhances our product sales
team."
"The project and Ayrmer Softwares input has allowed us to identify yet further potential from the
application which will benefit both us and our industry."
Tony Cutmore, Managing Director
"Thanks very much for all your hard work with the new freetrawl.com system, and throughout
the launch period. I know that you have put a huge amount of energy into this project, probably more
than we all originally expected! Again, I thank you for this."
"The launch has gone incredibly well
and the reaction to the new system has been fantastic: our staff internally received it very
positively, and the phones have been much quieter than we had anticipated, which is a wonderful
reflection on your delivery of an intuitive system that has a very shallow learning curve."
Steve Maxwell, Information Technology Manager
"Ayrmer Software are currently working for PolicyPlus International on two quite complicated
software development projects. We have found them very easy to work with due to their profesisonal
approach combined with pragmatism and flexibility. I would recommend Arymer Software for any web
based application development."
Jo Bridger, Head of Marketing
"The specification was interesting and there was alot of merit in working through it
with you (before the development phase). The solution (for The Sussex Resilence Forum) meets
our expectations, as an administrator I am comfortable with it and have
received very good feedback (from users)."
Caroline Carpenter, Performance & Service Review Manager
West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service / Sussex Resilence Forum
"Ayrmer Software designed our web site about a year ago. The website, with its striking effective
home page provides information through its various pages far better than any other advert
could. Designed to be interactive with my customers, it has also proven to be very user friendly.
The website has generated more work for the business than any other advertising method that we
have used and seems to be the way forward in getting your message across."
Ray Dwan, Devon Somerset Dorset Fire Risk Assessments
"We have just had an order from a customer that says they have recently retired but worked
in IT all their life and says our website is one of the very best he has come across. Always
nice to hear comments like that."
Emma Richards, Best Cellars online wine merchants
"... to be honest, after being involved with other software companies this was simply refreshing!"
Jonty Faulkner, Project Manager
"Very happy with the system cosmetically, most impressed with the functionality and the
software was splendid!"
Emma Corlett, Assistant Editor
"We knew we would need a bespoke database for Devon Artsculture, as the monitoring
involved for our funders is quite detailed, with very specific requirements. We
approached Ayrmer Software amongst other providers to tender, and Ayrmer Software really
stood out against the competition as actually being interested in what we were
doing, and willing to take the time to find out more about our project.
Being able to sit down with Ayrmer Software and talk through our needs was really
valuable, and Charlie was able to interpret our requests into this database system
that is really responsive to our needs. There was always someone at Ayrmer Sofwtare
to offer support as we went through the initial start-up stages with the system,
although it's an intuitive database so the additional work has really only been on
tweaking and creating additions rather than needing support in using it.
Now that we've been using the database for a couple of months, I can honestly say
it's worth its weight in gold. The amount of time saved, as we no longer have to
compile new reports constantly and search around trying to retrieve data from various
spreadsheets, is incredible. I don't know what we'd do without it."
Thanks Charlie and all the team at Ayrmer!"
Eleanor Butland, Project Officer
"Overall we have been delighted with your software and particularly with the excellent support."
Judith Dorning, Admissions Officer
"We were introduced to Charlie Collins of Ayrmer Software at the end of 2004. I was
impressed by the range of expertise and sheer knowledge Charlie has of the
subject. Also, given that we were looking for a booking system, that they had
done it before.
Now that we are live with the new system it is a pleasure to know that
Ayrmer Software have delivered on everything they said they would. This includes
specification and functionality all delivered on time and to budget (well there are
always some extras that we didn't think of at the time).
What is really good is that they are really nice people - nothing is too much
and they always make you fell that you are their only client.
I cannot sing their praises too highly - they are a great team."
Martin Davies, Founder & Director
