Building Business Solutions

In February 2004 we commissioned Software Factory Limited to come and implement the new Loans Management System. The implementation went so smooth that within 4 months of starting work we went live. We are now able to offer new products to our clients due to the flexibility of the system. The software’s ability to Integrate to our accounting system directly has minimised the risk of errors creeping into our system. One of the first visible benefits we realised was when we started offering our clients interest rebates for loans that were paid-off early. This interest rebates was received well by our customers. Our customers are happy to be receiving their statements when they ask for it. Accurate financial records and executive information has enabled the Bank to clearly chart its way forward.

Using the latest technology platform, the new StudentSoft and StudentSoft On-line has enabled medical students to log in through the internet and check their grades and financial information. It has also enabled Students to enrol on-line from any where in the world. All of these benefits were made possible by a local software company. The ability of Software factory to listen to the needs of the various Departments of FSM, and coupled with their competence to translate these requirements into a computerised business solution, and their experience in data migration and financials has made the computerisation of the FSM extremely successful. The system is very stable and requires very little support from Software Factory. Together, we are continuing to build additional modules into StudentSoft, making it one of the most extensive university student administration systems available here in Fiji and the South Pacific.

In 2006 we awarded Software Factory the tender to design and develop a totally new software that will allow us to effectively and accurately manage the Trust Estates for the Deceased and its Beneficiaries. The result of this development was the TrustSoft software. The new TrustSoft software has enabled the FPTCL to effectively track the level of its Trust funds and the accurate allocation of Trust Monies to related Beneficiaries. TrustSoft is very easy to use and our staff needed very little training to use and master the software. The software has also enabled FPTCL to produce for the first time an audited annual accounts.
