CJ Services puts the IT in to ITUK

Technology and innovation has always been at the heart if the Point of Purchase industry. Traditionally, however, the focus has largely been restricted to developments in design and production processes and, in more recent times, the emergence of digital P-O-P. But now, advancements in information technology are playing an important behind the scenes role in helping P-O-P installation companies meet the needs of an increasingly demanding and competitive marketplace.

Having recently awarded a three year maintenance contract to CJ Services, ITUK will be the latest brand to make use of the installation company’s latest bespoke project tracking and stock management data software.

CJ Services have always recognised that staying at the forefront of IT technology is an integral part of being able to offer its clients added value from their P-O-P campaigns.

This approach has seen CJ Services introduce dedicated high performance servers running the latest Microsoft operating systems. The in-house programming team use the latest .NET development tools to give instantaneous project management information, while dedicated client portals give anyone with internet access ( and the necessary security credentials) 24 hour real time reporting.

CJ Services has also embraced the latest developments in mobile PDA technology allowing engineers to complete their installation and maintenance tasks and upload on-site project details to servers via 3G internet connections. Our aim at CJ Services is to harness the power of IT to empower everyone connected with POP installation projects.
