Skillbuild – Over Stratton Case Study

Plumbing firm, Skillbuild, is just one of the many businesses to benefit from the Connecting Somerset project. The Over Stratton company needed wireless connection to the internet and its own internal network. With Connecting Somerset’s help, Skillbuild brought in Crewkerne based IT experts Blueloop, who designed a state-of-the-art network using a wireless ASDL router. Using the new system, Skillbuild’s plumbers can register Corgi parts (a statutory requirement) with just one-click, saving both time and money on every transaction.

Nathan Charles from Blueloop, who designed and commissioned the solution, said: “Connecting Somerset is an important project for small businesses within the county. We expect many of our clients to benefit from Connecting Somerset and bring their business communcations up to date.”

The company’s Janet Doble said: “We are now able to receive orders from customers and place purchase orders by email, saving administration costs and providing an immediate response to customer enquiries, thanks to the Connecting Somerset project”.
