TimberWindows.com technology Award

TimberWindows.com national award for 'Best Use of Technology in Business', held by the Sparc Technology Network which supports technology-led organisations and innovators.

The award was open to all industries in the UK.

It was a significant achievement for the window industry where technology is still viewed with suspicion, and where some organisations are still organised around the fax machine.

Chris Brunsdon, Managing Director of TimberWindows.com says, "At a time when the industry is facing some significant changes and challenges it's important for organisations to review their business model and look at ways to improve efficiency and competitiveness".

Chris continues, "The way we work has put us in a unique position and given us a leading edge in the timber and window industries.

We have no showroom or head office to add to overheads, and all communication with our registered installers is conducted through the website, making TimberWindows.com a lean, modern business.

"We were delighted to win the award and get the recognition.

The judges were impressed by our virtual set-up and innovative web solutions, and our record sales growth and steep increase in visitors to our website.

All our web applications have been developed and maintained in-house".

Using a password-protected domain, registered Installers can also use the website to design doors and windows for customers and generate a professional quotation for them.

Homeowners can also explore the full product range through the website, helping them to 'self-specify' their requirements.
