SMS have been developing Sapphire Manufacturing SQL for over ten years. The software's exposure to hundreds of different business types has resulted in a highly sophisticated product which can be easily tailored to suit the particular business needs of each new customer. This is made possible by an extensive set of parameters which allows the software to be tailored to model the operations of each company.

With the �Microsoft SQL database engine at its core, Sapphire Manufacturing SQL users are able to take advantage of leading edge software technologies to give real business benefits. For example, �Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services can be used to create powerful reports, which can be delivered over a customer�s own intranet facilities, to supplement the already extensive suite of reports provided within the standard software.
