Implementing Freshware within our business is one of the best decisions we have made!

Iain Furness,
Managing Director,
The French Garden Group

We have been very pleased that we have been able to get a phased implementation of Chefserve on this project, allowing us some very quick wins within only months of placing our order with Affinitus.

Charlie Mash
Managing Director
Mash Purveyors Ltd

It was obvious that these guys knew our business, and more importantly were listening to our current problems and coming up with solutions even before we had committed to their product.

The benefits of working with us

Project Management
Project Management

We provide a project manager for all installations to ensure a smooth, trouble-free transition to the new system. The first stage is to assess the functions and procedures that need to be carried out in order to ensure the system runs effectively. These procedures will run to a planned schedule which has been previously agreed between the client and the implementer.

Implementation
Implementation

The implementer will have many years of experience at senior levels and specific knowledge of your industry. Their role is to ensure that everything runs smoothly, and to liaise directly with your system administrator to ensure that nothing is overlooked.

Timescale
Timescale

Converting a business to our software is a seamless operation which can usually be achieved within normal working hours. Our aim is to provide maximum flexibility: in cases where implementation cannot take place alongside the daily running of your business, we can install the system overnight.

Training
Training

Once you are familiar with your brand new system it will make the daily management of your business far easier. Training needs vary depending on usage, so the project manager will determine the level of training needed for each user, organise training sessions and, as soon as a start date is decided, ensure the schedule is agreed and implemented.

Service and Support
Service and Support

We don’t just install and leave. We offer telephone and online diagnostic support Monday to Friday during normal office hours. For your peace of mind, out of office hours support is always available should you need it.
