| PDT Ltd was founded in 1985 by the
two directors Robin Oldman and John Warren with the aim of producing
the best company to come to for Business Process Analysis and with
the finest computer modelling toolset in the industry. With these
aims in mind they set about developing a tool on which business processes
could be modelled, developed and tested without subjecting the business
to all these changes and having to monitor the results in a live environment
with all the chaos that can ensue.
Today the company has many successful implementations with customers
as diverse as the MOD, the healthcare sector, warehousing and distribution
customers and vehicle location and delivery companies.
PDT Ltd is also a system integration company in the AutoID market
place provide systems and solutions made up of the best and most suitable
products for the individual customer requirements. We have supply
agreements with the leading players in the AutoID and mobile data
arena including (but not restricted to) Symbol Technologies, Zebra
Technologies, TEC, Paxar, O’Neil, Datalogic, HHP, Casio and
Intermec. This enables us to use our market knowledge and expertise
to select the best equipment and using the skills of the members of
our PDT Associates group write software or tailor off the shelf packages
to provide the customer with a complete solution to their business
problems.
PDT Ltd has specialist knowledge in the area of business process
analysis and have worked with many large companies and organisations
in looking at their business processes and documenting them correctly,
reviewing business processes and looking at how best to implement
changes to the systems and testing the ideas on some specialised software
we have developed to model the changes that are proposed and monitor
the effects of these proposed changes. We then develop a specification
that accurately reflects the proposed changes and this will then go
on to form the basis of the ITT document that will be passed out to
potential suppliers.
Firstly, we have some of the best knowledge and experience in the
AutoID market place, which can only be gained through many years of
working closely with both suppliers and customers in may different
markets. This together with our business ethics of integrity offers
the customer an excellent opportunity to work with a company that
knows the Auto ID industry and can advise them impartially on the
best way forward.
We bring experience of working in many different markets supplying
both off the shelf and turnkey solutions to the customer. We have
many years of working in different industries and examining their
processes and practices with Auto ID in mind and advising where we
feel things can be done a different and more cost effective way as
a result of implementing the correct technology. This has led to significant
savings for the customer.
We believe in sharing our knowledge and experience to empower the
customer to change their business and its practices with the knowledge
they are doing what is right for them. We also have the view that
every business and indeed its workforce are different and as such
should be treated this way and not all made to conform to a standard
way of doing things. This is particularly important when dealing with
people, as they are often the company’s most valuable assets.
Experience has been gained in many markets and these include, healthcare,
veterinary, automotive, manufacturing, warehousing, logistics and
distribution.
In essence our inputs will lead to practical, achievable solutions
to your problems based on hands-on experience gained within your business
environment. We will bring together the best components to suit your
requirements and deliver them in an integrated solution ready for
use.
Within PDT Associates we have a team of about 20 people who have
many varied skills from systems analysis and specification writing
to application developers on many different platforms in a wide range
of languages, system testers, installation engineers and trainers,
together with a range of specialist consultants to provide that input
on your market or on the technology and how it could be implemented.
This gives the customer access to a team of some of the finest people
in the industry that can work together to deliver a complete system
solution.
The team is continually growing and recently we have added people
with many IT skills such as network design and implementation to ensure
the customers current computing systems are working at their optimum
to enable the customer to gain the full advantage of the newly implemented
systems.
This offers the one stop shop approach to our customers who can give
complete projects to PDT Ltd who will then draw in the correct and
most appropriate resources to the project and ensure we deliver on
time and within budget expectations. This also ensures that in the
unlikely event of any problems or issues arising there is just the
one supplier involved and these can then be rectified with the minimum
of fuss and hassle.
As part of the team we also have System Analysts and Programmers
to help design and develop your applications on a variety of platforms
including PC based solutions and hand held terminals. Programming
can be in a variety of languages including Windows CE, Palm, C++,
Visual Basic and many more. Finally we have facilities for testing
the software and systems and carrying out installations and training.
User manuals and training programs can be produced to leave with the
clients for future reference. As the world starts to go wireless we
have a team of people who can guide you through the maze of RF technologies
and technical jargon and carry out site and system surveys to ensure
you get the coverage and throughput you need. Once the equipment is
installed and commissioned we can further provide a range of after
sales service and support packages that can continue to give you peace
of mind.
