One of its most important activities is the free Consumer Helpline which operates from the organisation’s head office in Manchester, . The Helpline takes over 600 calls and 80 emails per month from consumers looking for assistance and information. It has been estimated that the Helpline has saved consumers over £1 million.

The Association required a software solution that could support the activities of the Helpline, provide the necessary statistics and reports and assist with the marketing and promotion of the Association. , CEO, said “ is growing all the time and the Helpline is proving to be a great success. So we were looking for software that was flexible to handle every element of our operation. The added bonus is that Merlin comes with a full accountancy package so we will be able to run everything on one system rather than using multiple programmes”.

Chief software developer , a veteran of the industry said “Merlin caters for all types of business in the industry and we were delighted to assist such a worthwhile organisation.

We can support the activities of the Helpline while providing with marketing and accounting software to help them run the Association on a daily basis. They can communicate with consumers, collect membership fees, undertake marketing to generate new members and account for all of this activity”.

Board director and project co-ordinator added “Just as the original Merlin was to King Arthur – every indication is that Merlin will prove to be our very own ‘wizard’, and will enable the Helpline to provide an even better service to consumers.”

Developed as state of the art Business Application Software, Merlin is served across the internet and users simply access it securely via a web browser from anywhere at any time. This means that frequent traveller will be able to access the system wherever he is to view the progress of the team.
