Our difference

Why Byron Analytics

We are not a reseller of offshore generic software. We actively develop, maintain and support your own custom program that will be the backbone of your business. A continuous partnership in continuous improvement.

Your own codebase

Each client receives an independent codebase derived from the Pulse core. Your system matches your exact business rules — nothing generic, nothing compromised. High-priority changes can be delivered the same day.

A service, not a sale

Software degrades without ongoing service. We maintain a continuous consultancy relationship, evolving your system as your business grows. Our oldest deployment is 25 years old — and still actively enhanced every month.

Industry specialists

We work exclusively in steel processing, spending countless days with Owners, Managers and staff learning every role in depth. New clients always ask how we know their specific job so well.

The platform

Pulse - Everything your operation needs

From the first quote to the final delivery, Pulse manages your entire workflow in one connected system.

Quoting & CRM

Integrated quote and order management, contact history, document storage and the Sales Inbox Management System (SIMS) — all sales emails visible to all staff, automatically categorised.

Best-in-class Scheduling

Auto-scheduling with dynamic rescheduling, gap-filling, and real-time lead/lag colour coding across all resources. Drag-and-drop queue management with instant impact feedback.

Shop Floor Control

Real-time production overview, material sourcing dashboard, job control for machine operators, and a mobile Android app for barcode-driven plate management and quality assurance.

Planning & Stock Control

SigmaNEST integration for nesting and planning, plate and non-plate purchasing, test certificate management, stocktake dashboard and OCR creditor invoice processing.
