Vehicle & Asset Solutions Smart 3
The Problem
At the centre of VAS' product suite is the SMART platform. SMART provides VAS with audit scheduling and management tools, and provides reporting dashboards to VAS’ clients. In 2017, VAS and Avco began an ambitious new project to reinvent SMART.
The Result
The improvements have been universally well received by users of the system, with the new UI in particular proving a big hit. The new features are providing VAS new growth opportunities with both existing and new clients.
Experian Pension Protection Fund
The Problem
Experian gather, analyse, combine and process data across a vast number of industry sectors and for a wide range of uses. Their expertise in this led them to working with the Pension Protection Fund to calculate insolvency risk scores for the sponsoring employers of defined benefit pension schemes.
The Result
The resulting solution includes a well-structured database, a sophisticated import application and a feature-rich website. Avco delivered the project on time, completed all planned tasks and met all projects requirements.
Experian AutoCheck.co.uk
The Problem
AutoCheck.co.uk, a comprehensive vehicle history service aimed at consumers, was a once popular consumer website that Experian Automotive retired in 2013. In 2016 Experian approached Avco Systems to develop a modern replacement.
The Result
The new AutoCheck.co.uk was delivered on time with all its objectives met, and continues to be hosted, managed and supported by Avco.
Retail & Asset Solutions Start 2
The Problem
After years of growth for Retail & Asset Solutions' (RAS) stock taking system, it had become a complex set of custom built databases. RAS recognised the need to consolidate logic to allow for future growth, and turned to Avco Systems to architect and develop a solution.
The Result
Designed and built a new stock taking system that automatically handles the download of required stock information for a count. This meant no longer requiring an auditor to manually locate stock information, and stock count job data is easily synced between the central system and the laptops via the web interface.
Hertfordshire SFX
The Problem
Hertfordshire County Council requires a complete and secure solution that allows them to exchange sensitive data with their clients, suppliers or other third-parties.
The Result
A file exchange portal that allows all users to securely exchange sensitive data between customers and their associated third-parties. SFX is the go-to solution for numerous local authorities and has been in use by Hertfordshire for over 3 years.
Modernising Data Transfer for Examinations – A2C
The Problem
The JCQ had designed a protocol based on B2B messaging (EBXML) to replace their EDI transfer systems. However, other off-the-shelf solutions lacked the scalability and behaviour properties required for this approach.
The Result
A system that has supported the operation of the awarding industry in the UK since 2011, used by multiple JCQ awarding organisations.
