Steve Sperring – Culligan International UK (BWT UK)

We realised from the beginning of 2000 that, due to rapid cooler growth over the previous three years, we had to update our database.

We decided to opt for ProWat as the package met our requirements and because of Database Workshop’s reputation of providing quality support. Culligan has found the system to be user-friendly, very stable and most importantly, reliable in operation.

Bruce Orme - Wenlock Spring Water

One of the main things I like about ProWat is how it evolves with our business.

Program improvement suggestions are quickly evaluated and incorporated into the latest ProWat releases.

Peter Bonham Christie - Isis Water

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who is involved in the ProWat system.

This software has helped immensely with the efficiency of our business and has allowed us to keep control over almost every aspect of our supply and demand chain. ProWat is so user-friendly that our whole team at Isis Water is able to use it, which is very important in a small business.

Last but not least I would like to thank the back-up staff who have been so friendly and helpful when dealing with our queries.

Bill Dewar - Homespring

Just a quick note to say thanks very much for hovering the mighty chinook helicopter that is ProWat over me and fishing me out of a boiling sea of chaos! I very much enjoyed dealing with people who knew what they were talking about.

Company History

DataBase Workshop was started in 1992 with the aim of developing bespoke Software solutions. A chance conversation led to the development of a simple cooler management system, which became the forerunner of ProWat.

In 1995 we were contacted by a small water cooler company and ProWat was created. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement – their industry expertise and our programming skills and experience combined to produce a powerful, stable and easy to use system.

From these small beginnings we now offer a range of software to suit any size company. Our programs are under constant development by our technical team, who have a great deal of experience and know-how gained from working on contract on major projects for the Inland Revenue and Financial Service companies.

Our software is used by over 35 water cooler companies and is fully supported by friendly and knowledgeable staff.

We are also Sage Developers, this allows us to fully integrate our software with some Sage Accounts packages. ProWat also links to Pegasus Opera. Please contact us for further details.
