With the number of applications and legacy systems in use, it is no longer cost effective to keep all the IT skills you need in-house. Yet until now, finding specialist or niche skills has been hit and miss, or very expensive.

Now, you can find the skills you need by submitting them to OrderWork. The OrderWork platform has over 1,400 firms across the UK with thousands of specialists on their books, covering a huge range of niche skills across all areas of IT. Simply describe what you need, either in terms of time required or job done, and we qualified, skilled specialists will answer your call.

A distributed workforce or remote customers can be a huge headache – simply due to location, they often get slower service which costs more to deliver. Despite the development of remote tools, it is still necessary to physically install, fix or upgrade equipment.

As technology pervades every home and office, and more people work from home, the need to support them is a serious cost and quality issue. Engineers spend more time driving than fixing problems, and users have to wait for service.

By tapping into OrderWork’s national network, you can use local specialists to provide fast service without paying for travel time. Plus you only pay for engineers when you use them – no-one is sitting around doing nothing when not needed.

Holidays and absences are a fact of life, but are more critical in IT as systems and uptime need to be maintained. Yet interviewing and hiring contractors for just a few days is very time-consuming, and contractors often want more than just a few days work.

OrderWork’s system is a superior way to cover for short term needs such as holidays and absences. Suppliers are rated by previous buyers on the system, thereby giving a quality rating without the need for interviews.
