Based in Braintree, Essex, they work with Britain's biggest residential
developers to build homes across the country.
Barratt Homes, Laing Homes, Westbury Homes and Wimpey Homes are
just four of the property giants the company counts as its customers.
In addition to the regeneration business, which cleans derelict
to enable these spaces to be used for redevelopment, the group includes
a groundworks, civil engineering and concrete frames business Tamdown
Limited.
The group first began using Maximizer when it launched Tamdown
Regeneration in 2000. "Starting the business from scratch we
needed to understand the market and keep records of our customers
and our contact with them," explains Tamdown Regeneration director
Chris Doré.
Three years later the group, which has grown significantly since
the late 1990's, realised "our service to our clients needed
to improve", says Chris, and the initial two user Maximizer
license was expanded to more than 20 users.
"Maximizer has helped us prevent duplication of work and improved
our customer relationships because we can now ensure different parts
of the business don't call the same clients on same day," he
explains.
The company works in a business to business market, where a project
can take more than two years from ttender to completion. Since the
company started using Maximizer "our market intelligence has
really grown," says Chris.
"We understand our clients better and our competitors' activities
to a greater degree. It's also helped us identify where we need
to concentrate our effort in terms of the tender process,"
he adds.
Tamdown Regeneration is supported by Wavehill, who offers technical
advice and help with staff training.
"Wavehill have been an enormous help. They offer us technical
support when we need it. If someone raises an iissue they always
deal with the problem efficiently and effectively. And they've made
sure we get the most out of the software by helping us take advantage
of product enhancements," says Chris.
Chris believes the company has only just started seeing the real
benefits that Maximizer can offer. "I think we'll see an even
greater return on investment as we continue to understand how to
use it as a tool for our business."
"Maximizer allows us to concentrate our effort, based on much
clearer market information. We're in a position for the first time
of having a tangible new business pipeline."
