Our Work

Client:Lethbridge Family Services
Project:Support Services Scheduler
Problem
The volume of home care visit scheduling at Lethbridge Family Services was increasing to an amount that was no longer feasible for one employee to handle. The task was soon designated to four individuals, each using paper binders to track the visits. Because there was no central database of scheduled visits, and because it was imperative that no visit be missed, staff were being double and triple booked almost daily.
Our Solution
To address the overbooking and scheduling issues, we created an easy to use but powerful scheduling system that met the needs of the Family Services Centre. We created their original DOS-based system in 1994, and updated it to a Windows-based, powerful SQL Server database in 2002. The system is currently being used by 30 employees, and scheduling over 27,000 visits per month.
Client:The Coverall Shop
Project:Order Tracking System
Problem
The Coverall Shop was running into issues tracking the progress of their product. When a customer would call in inquiring about an order, they would often have to speak with several staff in different departments before determining the status. Whether the orders were ahead of schedule or were falling behind was mostly guesswork
Our Solution
We created a simple system that allowed each department to update the status of each order. Now the status of any order can immediately be looked up on the computer. A status screen was also created to show the real-time count of “on time”, “due soon”, “due”, “past due” and “back-ordered”. This allows the staff to gauge where their overall progress is.
Client:Arctic Mechanical
Project:Custom ERP system
Problem
A local developer started a system to track service orders, inventory and purchases. The developer had taken full-time employment elsewhere and was unable to continue the development of the system. After a review of the existing development, it was determined that the majority of the system was usable.
Our Solution
Ax Computer Consulting took over development of the system, which has now been vastly expanded. We increased the form quantity from 20 to 250, and changed the underlying database from an Access database to a SQL Server database. The existing forms remain, with improvements made to work with the new, more powerful database. Enhancements and expansion of the system are still on-going.
Client:Control Technology
Project:Custom ERP System
Problem
Control Technology had been maintaining their data on outdated systems, including spreadsheets and paper forms. An all-at-once switch to new systems was not something that they wanted to take on.
Our Solution
Ax Computer Consulting implemented a new system to start replacing the previous antiquated and inefficient system. As each module was completed, tested and implemented, the old methods were shut down. This allowed the company to learn the new system one module at a time. The expansion of the system still continues.

Len Sisco2013 Chair
Red Deer Kinsmen Dream Home
We have been working with Mike from Ax Computer Consulting for around 14 years. Mike took on a project for us that most would not. We had a piece of software written for us that the writer was no longer available to maintain. Mike spent the time and energy deciphering and documenting the code of the software. Over the years he has maintained and altered this software for us. He always tackles any project we have with enthusiasm and gets them done in a timely manner. We would highly recommend Ax Computer Consulting (Mike) for any project you may have.
