SME UK Enterprise Awards 2024/ 14 Best ERP Software Company 2024 In the field of enterprise resource planning, or ERP, one software company is distinguished from the rest, this being Scotland’s ProScope. ProScope is a construction project management application native to cloud-based business management platform NetSuite, with the app harnessing the platform’s extreme power to tackle complex project management challenges. A proud member of the SuiteCloud Developer Network (SDN), ProScope also bears the “Built for NetSuite” status, underpinning its leading5 position in this space. We catch up with Marketing Manager Kerry Myers for more. To understand why more than 1,400 users across the global construction, renewables, and oil and gas industries today rely on ProScope, it pays to go back to the beginning. ProScope was developed by Cooper Software, a leading NetSuite Alliance partner which has spent the better part of two decades excelling across the ERP landscape. The man responsible for ProScope, Dean Gardner, had noticed first hand that companies operating in the above sectors were frustrated with the lack of solutions supporting their project-centric operations. It was ultimately this, combined with his extensive experience in software development, which drew Dean, along with the wider Cooper Software development team to create the software, to put an end to this frustration once and for all. After spending two weeks at his kitchen table crafting an application for payment system that revolved around solving the specific pain points of projects, the humble beginnings of the solution that would ultimately grow into ProScope was ready to go. Four years later, the ProScope team has expanded to include more than 35 talented staff. Across every stage of a product’s lifecycle, ProScope’s innovative nature comes to light, providing unique project management functionality that is certain to offer a user clearer information and a greater sense of control. Thus, in essence, ProScope empowers businesses to manage their entire operations effectively using NetSuite, the world’s leading cloud-based solution of this kind. As Kerry puts it, “it is no longer a choice between world-class finance and industry-leading operations software - you can have both in NetSuite with ProScope.” Offering seamless execution with minimal risk, the ability to manage numerous subsidiaries, and a unique modular approach, ProScope sees complex project reporting made simple, removing the need for numerous systems and bringing functionality seamlessly into one all-round construction project management software. This underpins ProScope’s commitment to its clients, a pledge that is doubled down upon across the company’s values, comprised of teamwork, trust, high performance, and continuous improvement. Very much taking a proactive approach to upholding these values, ProScope seeks to remain ahead of the curve in the project management sphere by integrating the latest in leading-edge technologies into its platform. Being intertwined with NetSuite has helped considerably with this, as the platform’s size and stature means that ProScope is constantly aligned with the game-changing advancements that further this sector. Then there is the company’s own development team, comprised of individuals dedicated to addressing evolving client needs. At its core, it is the blending of its smooth NetSuite integration and the holistic view it takes to construction project management that distinguishes ProScope from other like-minded companies. Kerry explains it best, detailing that utilising ProScope, “enables clients to make informed decisions swiftly, reducing risk and enhancing project profitability.” With ProScope, those operating in the construction, renewables, and oil and gas industries are afforded a platform to help them traverse the changing landscapes of these diverse sectors. Whilst these sectors may have their differences, they share many of the same trends that are defining broader industry today, such as the increased adoption of digital tools to enhance the efficiency of projects and reduce costs, or the shift towards sustainable practice, something that is particularly prominent in the renewable energy sector. Digital tools like ProScope are great for managing a project’s energy use, waste, and other environmental impacts, as well as enhancing project financials. Determined to improve in these areas on an ongoing basis, ProScope’s client-centric approach sees it gather feedback from users and act on its findings, allowing it to live up to its promise of offering solutions that are wholly tailored and meet the needs and challenges of clients. Although it may be based in the UK, the company’s team and partner network is global, and so too is its influence. The company is incredibly proud of the fact that its software enjoys global use, a testament to its nextgeneration status. “We offer comprehensive enablement and support programmes to ensure our clients can fully leverage the capabilities of ProScope. This commitment to client success is a cornerstone of our business philosophy.” As for how the UK benefits from ProScope’s project management software, Kerry tells us, “ProScope contributes to the UK’s reputation as a hub of innovation by developing cutting-edge project management solutions that address the needs of complex industries. We follow this by supporting sustainability in project management, which not only helps UK businesses to improve, but also has a global relevance.” By offering partner businesses these tools, ProScope empowers them to increase their competitiveness, fuelling national growth. Undertaking such a complex task requires the loyalty and dedication of an expert team, which is something that ProScope luckily possesses. When it comes to building this team, innovation, creativity, technical expertise, and flexibility are the four key components, but other qualities sought out include somebody that is able to fit in with the company’s culture, an individual who possesses experience and potential in equal measure, as well as someone whose diverse perspective will elevate an already varied workforce. In return for their unwavering commitment to the firm, employees are rewarded with opportunities for ongoing training and development, the chance to advance their career and try their hand at different roles within the business, as well as gaining access to what is an incredibly supportive and collaborative working environment where everyone is looked out for and spurred on. For Kerry, “by focusing on these areas, ProScope not only maintains a strong and capable team but also ensures that our employees are continuously growing.” Continuous growth is also the definitive plan for the future of ProScope, with a number of projects set to materialise over the next year that will see the software enhanced, and even more highly requested features rolled out. Kerry explains, “we are particularly excited about the development of FormScope, which will address the full lifecycle of risk, quality, health, safety, security, and environment (RQHSSE) management.”
