Inquisitor is our flagship product. Created because we love seeing problems solved and when we see gaps in software, areas that leave people struggling to complete daily tasks then we feel moved to act.

Configurable, flexible, expandable – allowing you, the business owner to decide how to run your business and allowing the users to decide how to run their processes and set things up their way.

It allows you to set up custom searches against any of your data and build custom docks from each search which can show any of the data related to the search results.

Docks can consist of any of the following elements.

Data-grids that you can slice and dice just like an excel spreadsheet and in fact pull out to excel or pdf at the click of a button.

Data-pages which show the basic details about the search record and which can be configured to print the record, utilising external print programs such as V1 DBForms to generate print documents.

Data-grids and data-pages can also be setup with full control over editability. You can add, delete and update records as well as reading them and you have full control over each dock down to a field level on what you allow to be updated. Allowing you to extend the functionality of your portal by adding new docks to a search.

Charts can be displayed as dock items with line, pie and bar charts currently supported.

For those tasks that require scheduling, Inquisitor even supports a totally flexible scheduler, allowing you to schedule service engineers, sales deliveries, manufacturing orders or any other task where you have a requirement to control a resource of series of resources with simple drag and drop from a data-grid into the scheduler.

You can use any combination of dock elements on one page and drag and drop them around to suit your tasks. Allowing you to see everything you need to make important business decisions in one place and action it because any search you conduct can be added to custom lists. You can either build up your own personal lists of customers, products, suppliers etc. that are of interest to you or you can add them to an action list and then trigger an external API performing any task you can think of.

Here are some of the products we’ve built using Inquisitor.

Inquisitor Sage Enquiries

Building a set of custom views over the Sage 500/1000 ERP solution allows users to get to the right answers rapidly and in the one screen increasing their task performance by up to 300%.

Inquisitor Forecast

Sadly missing in some ERP systems is a coherent strategy to help build up a sales forecast for the business, which at the end of the day, should be driving all of your longer term decisions. Inquisitor Forecast allows you to set up product grouping, define market share of these product groups, expected market penetration and seasonality and adjust these figures manually. This allow you to look at your past and predict the future. In turn allowing you to build a master production schedule, master purchasing schedule and capacity plan. This allows you to make good long term decisions on what resources you will need in the business.

Inquisitor Stockmaster

Couple up our Forecast module with the Stockmaster module and you get your short term stock requirements handled as well. With a range of tools, including bulk order creation and placement, rolling stock reports and facilities to generate documentation straight out of Inquisitor we tell you exactly what items in your warehouse you should be looking at now to provide the best levels of service to your customer, and what could be more important than that?

Inquisitor Planner

Interrogating your database for tasks that need planning and allowing you to quickly and easily add resources, we can give you the ability to generate schedules for any and all resources from works orders, sales deliveries, service engineers, sales rep visits or calls. Once you are happy with the schedule, simple action it and the tasks can be submitted out to the relevant people on handheld devices or via email, SMS etc. Whichever method works for your business.

Inquisitor Archive

We all have data we’d rather sweep under the carpet but the hoarder in us all worries that one day we just might need it. With storage costs dropping all the time, there is no need to lose any of your data. Simply configure the Archive module and we can move that data to archive areas and set up Inquisitor portals to view it.

Inquisitor Legacy

Do you have a server sitting in the corner that nobody knows how to fix and you can sometimes get the parts off ebay? Well Legacy is the answer, we suck the data out of your old system and one of our data engineers will set it up in the Inquisitor Legacy product giving you a modern, efficient data portal allowing you to decommission those old servers. Or send them to the Smithsonian. Your choice.

What’s more, you can view Inquisitor on your mobile device so if your data is on the internet you can access it anywhere, or your customers and suppliers can giving you the ability to build self serve portals relieving your staff of the need to answer routine queries from external parties.

Inquisitor is a living, breathing product and is expanding all the time due to customer requests and our own vision of where we want the product to go in order to provide your business with the toolset it needs to prosper in an increasingly demanding world.

If you have problems that your current software isn’t solving then get in touch because we’ll solve them.
