IT and comms for Mid Devon food & drink producers
Production keeps moving, orders get taken and dispatched, the trade line stays answered. We build resilient IT, connectivity and phones for the food and drink producers of Crediton and Mid Devon.
The farms and pasture of Mid Devon feed a steady base of food and drink producers around Crediton — the kind of business that's part factory, part logistics operation, part sales team. Production has to keep running, orders have to be taken and dispatched on time, and the trade and customer lines have to be answered. When the connection or systems go down — and rural lines are more exposed to that — all three stall at once. We build IT and comms that join them up and keep them running.
We already do this in the South West
Cobalt supports Luscombe Drinks and Hunt's Food Group, so we know how a regional producer actually runs: the order lines, the warehouse, the production kit, and the connection everything leans on. We build for that operation rather than a generic office — and we scale the IT as a producer grows into more sites and bigger trade.
Orders, production and the things that protect them
A cloud phone system handles the trade and customer order lines with sensible routing and call recording, so an order coming in by phone reaches the right place and nothing's later disputed. Resilient connectivity with failover keeps production, scanners and stock systems running across the site, and Cyber Essentials with tested backups protects the recipes, customer accounts and trade data underneath it all.
Local to Crediton
Crediton is about 20 minutes from our Exeter base, close enough for us to be there in person when it matters and set up to handle most things securely online.
What we handle
What Crediton food & drink businesses come to us for
Keeping production and dispatch moving
When the connection or systems go down, production and dispatch stall. We build resilient connectivity with failover and tested backups, so an outage doesn't stop orders going out.
Trade and customer order lines
Orders come in by phone, and a missed or lost call is a lost order. A cloud phone system with sensible routing and call recording means orders reach the right place and nothing's disputed.
Warehouse and production connectivity
Stock systems, scanners and production kit all need a reliable connection in a tough environment. We design cabling and connectivity that gives solid coverage across the site.
Multi-site and growth
Producers often grow into more sites and bigger trade. We join sites onto one phone and support model and scale the IT as you grow — as we've done for producers in the region.
Securing the business
Recipes, customer accounts and trade data are worth protecting. Cyber Essentials, monitoring and tested backups close off the common attacks and keep you trading.
