A Bradford-based technology company has clinched its seventh major deal of the year.

Belgravium Technologies, which provides hand-held computers and services, has won its second deal with Ireland's largest cash and carry wholesaler Musgrave Wholesale Partners.

It will extend computerised services across Musgrave’s Irish cash and carry network. to enable it to service retail and food sector customers from branches in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

The latest order follows the installation last year of Belgravium’s software and the supply of hand-held units to Musgrave.

It will enable the Irish company to achieve a “real time” stock checking system across its network as it is completed during the rest of 2012.

The system uses Belgravium’s latest IT technology, the Atlanta 5000 Series terminals, and will improve data capture for Musgrave’s stock-check scanning operation using software developed to work with the varying layouts of barcodes from multiple suppliers.

Belgravium sales director Peter Marsh said: “We are delighted that the initial installation for Musgrave has worked so well that they have asked us to extend the solution throughout their entire operations in Ireland.

“The system, which incorporates the latest Belgravium handheld units will ensure that Musgrave stay at the leading edge of the available technology to improve their distribution and logistics operations.”

The Musgrave deal is the latest in a series of orders for Belgravium, based at the Listerhills Science Park, with operations in Manchester and Leamington Spa.

In August the company won a contract to supply and install a chip and pin retail system on Air Berlin aircraft through its Novo Ivc subsidiary.

Belgravium also won a contract to upgrade and expand a vehicle-mounted mobile computer system for fertiliser maker GrowHow UK at its manufacturing plant.

That followed a contract to upgrade the parcel despatch operations at Express Gifts, part of Findel, the online and home catalogue shopping firm.

In April Belgravium won its first order for a new computer device designed for the fuel distribution sector, which it saw as a potential springboard for sales to wider markets.

Belgravium also supplied 1,900 of its Kestrel handsets for use by BA cabin staff through leading in-flight duty-free operator Tourvest Duty Free, which manages BA’s in-flight retail operations.

Belgravium recently revealed that interim pre-tax profits had halved from £321,000 to £151,000, with turnover down from £4.77 million to £4.32 million in the six months to the end of June.

But the firm’s chairman John Kemberry said that while results were below the level hoped for, new orders and an encouraging level of enquiries pointed to a recovery for the rest of the year.
