Company Profile

Trio Computing started trading in 1979, in the days when PCs were a new concept and small-businesses were crying out for computer systems. In those days people talked about 'transportable computers', rather than 'laptops' - because you needed a forklift just to get them off the ground!

We started by developing a very neat and compact set of ledgers (Sales, Purchase, Nominal) and quickly added to that a Stock Control system, then Sales and Purchase orders too.

We were soon approached by a customer who asked us to write him a system to cater for multi-dimensional products - clothes held in colour and size. This project proved so successful that we went on to develop it further to handle more specific reporting and order-handling requirements. This was the first version of "Wrist", our most successful appliction to date.

In the 1990s we continued developing Wrist - integrating a Bill of Materials and Fabric Control System, to help manufacturers keep track of their stock levels, and order management and reports specifically designed to help Cash & Carry and Shoe Wholesalers.
