TriMedika chooses Flowlens cloud MRP software

BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND, 5 May 2020: Crescent Capital’s Flowlens has announced that TriMedika Ltd have chosen its cloud MRP and CRM software.

TriMedika develops innovative, smart medical devices, and is experiencing significant demand for it’s new TRITEMP™ non-contact thermometer.

The business has grown rapidly since its inception in 2016, growing to 10 people, and serving markets worldwide.

Process compliance, in particular ISO standards is a must for businesses such as TriMedika, which to date has functioned using a spreadsheet based management system.

Dr Roisin Molloy, CEO continues. “We reached a point where the level of manual effort needed to maintain our system was challenging, with the rate of increase in orders. We also recognised risks associated with reliance on one or two people to construct the spreadsheets, and also the risk of errors.

We needed a system that would let us clearly track inventory and particularly provide traceability for individual product serial numbers. We also needed a way to ensure reliable and robust process management across sales, purchasing, invoicing and inventory that interfaced with our Xero accounts package. With the onset of the Covid-19 lockdown, this need was reinforced, with our team working and collaborating remotely.”

Having reviewed a number of options, we were delighted to find Flowlens, as it combined the sales and operational functions we needed with very flexible reporting and real-time dashboards. It means we can all be on the same page, even when we’re not in the same building. Flowlens is built for small but growing businesses like us, with CRM and MRP functionality under one roof.

Support and training was also vital for us. Before signing up, we took a free trial of Flowlens and worked with the team to set up our process and import data. It was clear Flowlens were interested in our business, and that we could work with them to get the outcomes we needed.

We will save a lot of time by replacing multiple spreadsheets and repetitive data entry with Flowlens, and I’m looking forward to using the extra time to drive our business forward.”

Rich Dale, CEO of Flowlens added “Even in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown, smart companies are investing in strengthening their systems and processes. We are absolutely delighted to welcome Roisin and the TriMedika team to Flowlens.

This deal underlines Flowlens’s capability, not just as a CRM or MRP and inventory system, but also as a robust business process management and compliance tool for ISO audited companies. We’re delighted to play a part in TriMedika’s continued success.”
