About Us
Trident was initially developed in the early 1990s as a customised inhouse accounting system for Imbibe Drinks, a wholesale supplier of drinks based in London. The standard off the shelf accounting packages that existed at the time did not meet the company's requirements.
Whilst the system was never marketed to third parties, visiting wholesalers were often impressed with the system and it was eventually installed in three other wholesale companies.
In 2018 the technology used to develop the system was becoming dated and it was decided to start work on transferring it to a modern cloud based platform. This enables the system to be run from a browser on any device at any location thus allowing much greater work flexibility.
The first version was released in 2018 as a reporting only system, allowing customer data and reports to be viewed and was mainly used by sales reps when on the road. Additional funcionality was gradually added allowing the original system to be retired in 2020.
A lot of the design features built into the original system have stood the test of time and have been incorporated into the new system. Most importantly is the feature that we have termed "Rapid Data Entry". In a busy office you need to be able to deal with customer orders and queries in the fastest time possible and thus substantial development effort has been spent in reducing mouse clicks and key strokes as much as possible. In particular the system attempts to minimise hand movements between the mouse and keyboard.
Generally the system is noticeably faster and more responsive than other systems. Screens have been designed by users rather than computer analysts and as a result are clear, logical and intuitive. New users are able to learn the system very quickly with minimal training.
