Halsall Glass has said that it has more than doubled its turnover in less than a year, supported by Glass Office and other management and optimisation software from Clear Thinking Software.

Managing Director Rob Halsall said: “We came back early in comparison to our competitors because we could socially distance very easily and because the demand for glass was still there. 

“That meant we picked up a number of new customers, who we’ve retained, while as more of the industry came back, it fed into that demand. We’ve doubled in size on this time last year.”

Its use of business management and optimisation software from Clear Thinking Software, has been instrumental in supporting Halsall Glass in managing demand and safeguarding its profitability, he added.

This includes Glass Office, its operational management tool for the glass processing and IGU sectors, which was launched by the software house in 2001. It’s designed to support management of the complete order process from quote through to scheduling, production, invoicing and warranty, using bar code and scanning technology to provide real-time visibility of where product is in the production cycle.

Halsall Glass also used the company’s GlasSave glass optimiser – installed only weeks ahead of lockdown. Designed to work with a wide range of glass cutting tables, it helps to maximise outputs from 3210 x 2250/2550mm sheets as well as full jumbo 6000 x 3210mm sheets, creating clear cutting plans based on daily production requirements.
