 A Selection of Manufacturing & Distribution Clients

BSW Timber logo

BSW Timber

“We chose Interact because we recognised that it allows us to meet our objectives for Phase 1 of our intranet, whilst having enough functionality within its modules for us to grow and expand over time. It has improved communication across our seven UK sites and helped to harmonise reports and procedures.”

Eve Johnson, Intranet Project Team Manager, BSW Timber

ADT

ADT

“Interact is making a big difference to the way we work at ADT. It helps us share information, news and knowledge and is helping to further develop our 'one ADT' culture. The Workflow and Forms Manager is an extremely sophisticated and powerful module that is simple and intuitive to use and will dramatically reduce our process times.”

Megan Simmons, Internal Communications Manager, UK&I, ADT Fire & Security

Calor Gas

Calor

“We were looking for a solution that would galvanise Calor's intranet, give site owners freedom to update their sites and at the same time take the IT Department out of the maintenance loop. The Odyssey Interact package looks modern and professional and we were able to quickly prove within a pilot that it delivers to all of our requirements. The package itself and the benefits it can bring proved very easy to sell to our business users and board of directors. As supplier, Odyssey has been proactive, helpful and accommodating throughout our dealing so far”.

Simon Went, Systems Development Manager, Calor

Hoyer

“Before Odyssey came in we had something of a vacuum in terms of internal communications – no quick means of contacting remote employees, no staff directories, no means of automating small business forms. Interact was a very sensible product for the price and the success we have seen in the UK has since convinced us to roll it out in Ireland and Finland. We estimate that we received a return on our investment in less than two years of using the intranet.”

Vikas Malhotra, Project Manager, Hoyer UK

Tradeteam

Tradeteam

 “Interact is a fantastic fit to our intranet requirements. The modular construction gives us the ability to add functionality to suit our needs. We were very impressed with the range of sophisticated business applications available with Interact which combine ease of use with powerful and comprehensive functionality, such as the Room and Resource Manager. The ability to tailor the intranet to our corporate branding was also a big factor when opting for Interact and will help with the re-branding exercise which we are currently undertaking”

Luke Alders, ICT Manager, Tradeteam

Tracker

Tracker UK

“Odyssey were fantastic. The intranet hasn’t even been fully rolled out yet and we can already see a decrease in the number of emails that are sent around with general company information. It’s an invaluable induction tool for new starters too – everything they need is in one place and if they have to meet someone in the company, they can just go to the contacts section and find a picture of them alongside all the info they need.”

Carl Novelli, Network Analyst, TRACKER UK
