Happy birthday iBOS
The fast pace of everyday life makes it easy to forget about our accomplishments. To prove the point, I realised I've barely mentioned one of the PurePac projects that makes me most proud.
So, here's a happy (belated) birthday to iBOS, our Integrated Business Operating System. Launched in spring 2023 and built from scratch by Andy Heart at Brightwell Consulting. Twelve months in the making, involving many brainstorming, process and planning sessions; Andy and I have spent hundreds of hours developing and creating PurePac’s bespoke system.
iBOS is the heart of PurePac, we can't operate without it now. The first development stage was to deliver an intuitive system to manage customer quotations and orders. Seamlessly moving through our unique business processes, providing automatic customer updates and communicating to the warehouse and logistics team on the status of each order. iBOS is embedded in our business and works like a dream.
Even before iBOS was born, I had an 'ideas list' the length of my two arms. We are slowly but surely working through all my other business requirements. We're only halfway through the list and have been working on this for two and a half years. I know how Andy will respond to this, saying “Sylvia, you always want more functionality!”
As we add more business functions to the software, iBOS will be our heart, brain, lungs and limbs. I’ll tell you more about its functionality another time. For now, I want to say a massive THANK YOU to Andy who has done an amazing job. As well as delivering an intelligent and intuitive piece of software, Andy also puts up with my millions of pieces of feedback and ever-growing requirements!
