Consilium develops new e-trading solution

Consilium Technologies, an Antrim supplier of IT solutions for local government, has developed an e-trading solution in partnership with Carmarthenshire County Council in Wales and its key suppliers.

The solution - which is expected to result in significant savings - could fundamentally change the way councils across the UK run building maintenance contracts.

It has enabled the council to close its central stores and instead source materials and supplies from the nationwide Travis Perkins chain under a five year contract.
