An existing database was modified to improve its efficiency. Functions added include:
Ability to send SMS messages for quick contact of staff. Simply fill in a screen requesting a skill, type the SMS message (or choose from a set of predefined messages), and click send. All candidates with the matching skill set immediately receive the message. This saves time and money involved in contacting by phone, and allows the vacancy or vacancies to be more quickly filled.
A Status screen was added to constantly show the staff numbers required and satisfied for the day in question.
Letter printing was automated - the system can create one-off or mailmerge letters at the touch of a button.
Shortcuts were added so information was always to hand, eliminating the need to constantly close and open forms.
Data checks and e-mail alerts were added.
New reports added to more quickly identify calls to be made/activities to be completed.
