Comtrex Enterprise Solution

Comtrex Systems offer a suite of web based management solutions focussing on Stock, Cash, Staff and Reporting.

The advantage of our Enterprise solution is the flow from our software-as-service web-based approach. You can rely on instant access to all your information; simple and efficient facilities to run your operation on a day-to-day basis, plus powerful analytical capabilities to plan and monitor your corporate strategy. There are no headaches with installation and maintenance, as the application and data are hosted centrally. We provide the technical know-how to run it all for you.

This makes the Comtrex Enterprise Solution a leading web based management tool to the hospitality sector.

The comtrex enterprise solution started in 2003 with the development of a stock management system. This restaurant point of sale software has subsequently evolved into a suite of online applications which has been adopted by some of the most successful and fastest growing restaurant companies in the UK. We are committed to the continued development of these services and products to increase value to customers and help continue their success. This is reflected in a forward-thinking approach to incorporating the latest technologies within the Microsoft platform whilst focussing on enabling customers to reduce costs, improve efficiencies and provide a quick return on investment.

Because the solutions are web based, there is no point of sale software installed at the customer site(s). This significantly reduces deployment and maintenance time scales and costs (e.g. an upgrade can be deployed for 350 restaurants instantaneously).

Our applications are easy to understand and use. They can be accessed from any computer using Internet Explorer. This enables the roll out across large numbers of outlets efficiently with none of the pain or expense usually associated with enterprise wide deployments.

The Stock solution makes extensive use of B2B technologies which provides massive benefits to clients and their suppliers in terms of both cost and efficiency.
