RedBlack Software launches pay-as-you-go CyBake Core

Jane Tyler, managing director of York-based RedBlack Software, says: 'Our aim is to democratise information technology in the baking business. While most of our current customers will have at least a handful of staff using CyBake as their main workday interface, we get enquiries from bakers who only need systems for one or two users.'

RedBlack Software says that its own research into the UK's smaller bakery market would suggest that many firms rely on paper-based systems or IT applications that are coming to the end of their useful lives. If suppliers of such software fall victim to uncertain economic conditions, their customers will be left entirely exposed.

As its name suggests, it is envisioned that smaller bakers will use CyBake Core for core functions such as sales order processing, recipe costing and credit control.

'The beauty of our approach is that we custom-fit our solutions to each individual client, large or small,' says Tyler. 'If a smaller baker expands or needs some of CyBake's more advanced functions, then CyBake Core can be upgraded to their individual requirements by our technicians. The CyBake tech team literally live and breathe the bakery business. Their job is to solve customers' problems and let bakers get on with doing what they do best.'

CyBake Core comes with a single-user contract. The CyBake Core package including set-up and training costs just £3,500 or £125 per-month for a three-year contract.
