Software firm recruits to gear up for post-pandemic business landscape
Software consultancy, The Config Team, has expanded its workforce by 20% as it gears up for growth as businesses begin to look to a future after the pandemic.
After adapting its business over the past 10 months to meet the ever-changing challenges of a difficult 2020, the Skelmersdale-based company starts 2021 in a strong position after recording its best ever quarter for sales at the end of last year.
The firm has added 12 new team members in the past six months, including seven graduates, to help drive the company forward and retain its position at the forefront of innovation within the SAP (Systems Applications and Products) Supply Chain.
The Config Team won a raft a new projects last year, as businesses looked to adapt their offering.
Many retailer customers enlisted help to optimise their online operations, while food and drink manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies were looking to increase operational efficiencies to drive productivity.
Managing director, Andrew Moses, said: “There is no getting away from the fact that the last 12 months have been really tough for every business.

“We saw the dip in business last March as an opportunity, so rather than furloughing consultants that were no longer needed on projects, we utilised their skills, knowledge and experience to help develop new product solutions and identify ways we could adapt our offering to meet the challenges our customers were facing.
“This resulted in welcoming a lot of new companies on board, along with offering really innovative solutions that are impressing our existing customers day in day out.”
He said that, by investing in its existing talent, alongside bringing in new skillsets and experience, the business is in a fantastic position to continue to adapt to customers ever-changing needs.
The Config Team designs, develops and implements innovative SAP Supply Chain solutions that deliver an integrated end-to-end supply chain process.
The company has been delivering successful projects for more than 25 years for global brands across a diverse range of industries including manufacturing, automotive, food and beverage and pharmaceutical.
