RoofWright MD Visits 10 Downing Street

On Monday 22nd June, Dave Blakeman (Managing Director of RPS Limited) was present at a reception at 10 Downing Street with the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown and First Secretary of State Peter Mandelson. He was invited as part of the government's "Building Britain's Future" initiative. RPS was invited as an acknowledgement of their innovation and export activities in the current difficult economic climate. RPS (the developers of RoofWright) has developed an American Joint Venture (Planright Software Inc) over the last 12 months, and is recognised as a small business with significant growth potential. "Unleasing Talent" Peter Mandelson gave a short speech acknowledging the contribution of British entrepreneurs. This was followed by an excellent speech by Gordon Brown, Prime Minister, who said "I believe that the countries that will succeed in the future, the countries that will do best in this new global economy are those who can unleash the talents, the creativity and enterprise of its citizens." "Feedback" After these speeches, Ministers mingled with the invitees asking them for feedback and suggestions. "I suggested a couple of things, and brought up the issue of VAT on energy-efficient products" said David Blakeman. "We were also asked for ideas on how to improve the visibility of UKTI, the UK's excellent but little known department dedicated to helping exporters. I was delighted to be invited and regard this as a great honour for everyone at RPS".

RPS Announces Reseller Agreement for Eden Window Manufacturing Software

RPS (the creators of RoofWright) today announced it has become an exclusive reseller for MPLogic's Eden window manufacturing software. Developed over the last 9 years, Eden has been quietly evolving to cover all elements of frame manufacture, from simple paper cutting lists to fully integrated machine centres and saw links. Eden integrates tightly with RoofWright, allowing manufactured frame sizes to be exported directly into Eden from Roofwright, removing the need to manually re-enter frame sizes. All coupler adjustments are deducted automatically, allowing complete confidence in frame manufacture.

In their first joint installation, Eden is now in use with K2 North America.

For full details of Eden, see here.

RoofWright now integrates with Eden, Business Micros Evolution and WindowMaker.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from everyone at RPS

It's coming to the end of 2008, and what a year it's been!

The conservatory industry has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, but it's really good to see so many of our customers accepting the challenges and striving to continue to prosper through these difficult times.

At RPS we've not been immune to the current climate, but it has given us the valuable opportunity to build even stronger relationships with companies and help them through the tough times, streamlining and improving the efficiency of their businesses.

This year has still been an exciting year, with many new things happening to RoofWright. First there was the release of RoofWright 6.8, the most popular and fastest selling version of RoofWright ever. Then came our stunning Planning module to allow you to create drawings for planning permission, as well as extending RoofWright's 3D capabilities to show houses and other buildings (with or seperately from a conservatory).

This year also saw the release of the brand new RoofWright Gold Edition which is now the highest level of RoofWright available, and has been widely praised for it's excellent features. We've also seen even stronger relationships with our biggest customers, particularly Ultraframe with who we continue to work closely.

Next year RoofWright turns 10 years old, and to celebrate, there are exciting things to look out for. I can't say too much at the moment, but it'll be well worth regularly checking our website or even better, to subscribe to our newsletter for the latest tips, news and information.

Whatever 2009 has in store for all of us, we'd like to wish everyone the very best of luck and hope that you go from strength the strength.

RoofWright Launches "LicenseSafe" License Protection Scheme

In the past, when a customer's license key ("Dongle") was stolen or lost, they had no choice but to purchase another license for the software. RPS today announced its new LicenseSafe initiative. LicenseSafe is a technical insurance scheme to allow a customer to "blacklist" a missing dongle and replace it for a small amount.

"This allows our customers to quickly get back up and running in the event of loss or theft of a dongle" says Jon Twigge, Sales Director, "In trials the mechanism has proven remarkably effective and the customers already using it have been extremely positive about it".

LicenseSafe is available to all existing customers for a nominal charge.
