Why Subcontract Precision Engineers Choose PSL Datatrack
By Tom Skubala
In this MTDCNC Technical Corner episode, Tom Skubala is joined by Geoff Gartland, Managing Director of PSL Datatrack, to answer a simple but important question: why PSL Datatrack?
With over 30 years’ experience developing software for subcontract precision engineering, Geoff explains how PSL Datatrack has been shaped by a unique blend of IT expertise, business understanding and real-world engineering knowledge. The result is a production management system designed specifically for subcontract machining – not adapted from generic manufacturing software.
The discussion covers what sets PSL Datatrack apart, from being a family-owned business with long-term commitment, to developing every part of the system in-house and working closely with customers to guide future development. That focus ensures the software stays practical, reliable and genuinely useful on the shop floor.
You’ll also hear how PSL Datatrack supports subcontractors from quotation through to invoice, with modular tools that grow alongside the business. From quoting and works orders to scheduling, shop floor data collection, quality control and ISO 9001 traceability, everything is designed to help engineers spend less time in software – and more time running machines.
If you’re a subcontract precision engineer looking for a job tracking and production management solution built specifically for your industry, this episode explains why so many businesses choose PSL Datatrack – and why they stay with it. Find out more at www.psldatatrack.com
