EMiR Software

EMiR, the market-leading integrated business management system, for the electro-mechanical industry.

EMiR Software is developed around Core Modules and a Series of Extension. The Job Management and its associated Modules are coloured orange in the block below. The Extensions each have their own colour and link with the Job Management Modules. Please click on any Module or Extension in the image below for more detail.

Solutions in I.T. are here to help advise you and provide the best I.T. solution for your business. We usually only provide these services to our existing EMiR customers. View our services to see how we can help your business.

Your EMiR system will come with helpdesk and technical support free for 60 days and then via a recurring annual contract, to ensure you have help available if you need it and that your system is kept in fully working order.

Whether you run a small business or a large corporate organisation you have to give consideration to your computer network. Like all pieces of capital expenditure which depreciate over time, you have to maintain the asset, ensuring that it is fit for purpose and that takes skilled resource. You can, of course have the expense of replacing equipment on a regular basis to ensure that failures are minimised, or you have an alternative…

EMiR Maintenance contracts come in 3 flavours: Bronze, Silver and Gold. They all provide excellent value for money and ensure you are able to add any of the newly developed features for EMiR to your system for a flat fee - so you never need to go through a formal 'upgrade' process again. Simply put, your system is always up-to-date with the best functionality EMiR has to offer!

DECiR is our five step proven process for successfully getting EMiR up and running in your business!

Remote Backup and Data Storage is a vital component of any IT system and we thoroughly recommend you use our EMiR Backup solution to keep all your data [not just EMiR data] safe and secure with minimal effort on your part!

Every EMiR installation has a project management plan and we can extend this to include any IT projects you wish to undertake.

Solutions in I.T. offer training services to help you and your staff get up and running with EMiR.

Initial training on EMiR is provided on-site with the sale of our Professional systems. Additional on-site training can be designed and provided based on your needs and your staff requirements.

On-line training is available via our eMiR-Learning platform which has a variety of courses available and each has an associated test to achieve certified EMiR qualifications. We can also provide custom one-to-one on-line training, dealing with specific requirements.

Houghton International Ltd.

Houghton International, based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, have been using EMiR since 1995. As Houghton have grown, they have developed their EMiR system and now have 27 licenses for EMiR Professional, as well as Dashboards and Smart Site.

About Houghton International

As well as providing motor and pump sales, repair and service, Houghton also manufacture HV coils for other repair companies, sell expertise and knowledge products around the world, and have a fast-growing presence in the UK rail industry. As expected, diversifying the company was challenging, but EMiR Professional has helped Houghton to establish themselves into separate business units because of its multi-site functionality.

“My challenge as MD was to split the company into four separately managed profit centres, based on a replicable business model. The EMiR Pro system will allow us to go up to 10 individual business units. As a result, EMiR Pro has enabled us to have a group shape to the business, with profit centres clearly defined. Because of the diverse range of services we provide into the market, and their potential value to larger companies, splitting everything up means we have a very clear understanding of not only where we generate profits, but why. And that’s critical to realising the investment levels we expect.”

Michael Mitten, Managing Director

Now, each business unit can be tracked separately, with its own profit and loss statement, allowing Michael and his business unit managers to track both the logistical performance and the financial situation of each unit separately.

Dashboards

On top of their EMiR Modules, one of the Extensions Houghton use is Dashboards. Houghton International were already making use of Power BI (the backbone of the Extension) but didn’t have the time to create the types of reports and Dashboards they wanted. Dashboards can be used to visualise data from EMiR and deliver the reports to those that manage your business. By working with the EMiR team and purchasing EMiR Dashboards, Houghton got the exact Dashboards they needed, saving them time and money. Alongside the Dashboards EMiR provides as standard, Houghton have commissioned customised Dashboards for Quality Health Safety Environment and Non-Conformance Products.

“Gary came back after a period of time and he had literally built everything I was going to build and was going to sell it to me. I was a bit put out at first but then he came to the price and it was much cheaper than I was expecting, for like nothing. It’s saved me 6 months of work and relearning the product since Microsoft are constantly updating it. Dashboards are improving through a feedback process of an expert user accountant discussing discussing with a technical expert on Power BI, and it’s getting better all the time.”

What Houghton International Have to Say About EMiR

“We reviewed a number of systems and found that compatibility with our old EMiR system was a big plus. However, our main reason to go with EMiR Pro was the huge range of functionality it offered in facilitating our growth and development of multiple revenues streams.”

Michael Mitten, Managing Director

We thank Michael, Jack and all the staff at Houghton International for taking part in this case study and hope they continue to develop with their EMiR Professional System.
