Efficient management systems for small businesses

Here at qclGroup, many of our consultants have years of experience of working in very large companies and developing management systems and processes that deliver real benefit. For smaller companies, the need for organised ways of working is just as important, but sometimes doing things the right way just seems like more work. What we know though, is that the systems we can develop for your company will make your smallbusiness more efficient and more profitable - it might even be the step you need to take in order to land those contracts that are just out of reach.

What we can do for you

The information below is just a taster of what we have to offer - our team have developed systems for some of the biggest companies in the UK - just tell us what you want to be able to do and we'll make it happen.

Quality management systems (ISO9000:2002)

A QMS is the detail of how your company operates, what it does and how it does it. Quality management systems provide a standard, documented manual of all of this information and can provide significant benefits to all types of small business. qclGroup can analyse your existing quality management procedures, produce a fully ISO9000:2002 compliant web based quality manual, with all of the relevant procedures and processes, and then work alongside the independent assessor to gain accreditation to the ISO standard.

Management information systems

Information is the key to all businesses, large or small, and managing this information effectively with structured information systems is essential for all but the very smallest of businesses. Our bespoke systems can be based on standard software such as Microsoft Office or be built from the ground up as a stand alone system, either way, tracking your sales, purchasing, quotes, staff and finances will never have been easier.

Business planning

Where are we now? Where do we want to be? How do we get there? Business planning is something rarely found in small businesses - too much time is tied up in running the business day-to-day to even think about the next step, until it's too late. Working closely with your company, our consultants can give you direction, focus and advice on the next steps you should be taking. Business acquisitions, disposals, mergers; larger contracts, moving into new markets or just consolidating and strengthening what you already have. Analysing many factors such as competitors, new markets, legislation changes and current capability are just a few of the things that you need to do, but if you don't have the time or the skills, that's where we can help.

Project Management

Successful project management is the key to almost all businesses. It might be that everything you do is a project (something that's never been done before), as is the case with a construction company, or it might be that you only carry out projects occasionally, a new product launch for instance. Whichever is the case, getting it right can save money, time and frustration, and we can help. Our project management consultants have experience of successfully delivering projects worth millions of pounds across a wide range of industries from retailing to nuclear engineering and nothing will phase them. Whether you need advice and help setting up a project or need a team to come in and fully manage a project alongside you, we'll be happy to help, just get in touch to find out more.
