Software Development, Programming and Technical Services

Quad Computer Services Ltd have provided software development and programming in Sheffield and South Yorkshire since 1987. We ensure we understand our clients' business processes in order to deliver the best-fit solution for the project. We can work on-site where necessary and have provided invaluable support for development teams in many Sheffield companies where extra resource is needed. This may be due to a gap in knowledge or needing more "hands on deck" to see a project through.
In short, we help make your business processes flow more smoothly often replacing tired Excel spreadsheets with robust systems

Quad Will Create The Systems You Need

Once these are identified, we can advise how time and money can be saved along with better reliability and accessibility by developing software to your needs. This leaves you to get on with you're good at, while we continue to provide you with what we're good at: software and PC programming.

Our software is written in-house by our developers. We'll give you options, if needed, to suit your budgets and timescales.
