Rob Jennings, Planability's managing director, said: "I believe such a low take-up management systems is due to the major barriers of cost and a lack of confidence in software systems and vendors.
The wrong system wastes time and money, which is why we help by offering a range of quick-to-implement, simple-to-use systems that work immediately.
We offer internet demonstrations, full system trials and the option of monthly subscriptions, so with those and our new product suite, I believe we address all the key issues."
