Blue Scorpion was established in April 2003, when a car dealer friend approached me with a problem.

He said that he was keen to move the business forward by implementing a website, but had three quotes from local companies that were so high it was not feasible for the business to move forward with this technology, and did I know anyone that could do this cheaper?

I asked what it was he was looking to achieve. He said that all he wants is a low cost website which looks professional and one that he could update himself with little technical knowledge and cost. The main point was that he wants to pay a small monthly fee rather than a big upfront cost and then on going fees to maintain the website.

After trying to find someone to do this, with little hope, I decided to team up with a web developer that I knew very well and design a solution that would meet the needs of this car dealer.

We worked closely with car dealers and created a completely web based solution called Autoshowrooms, this was a template website with a back end login area, where the car dealer could edit the company details including opening times, map, company name, numbers, vehicles in stock, vehicle pictures and all the details that is required to update stock on-line and remove sold vehicles.

It then became apparent that there were many people in the same situation, that needed such a solution so one year after the launch of Autoshowrooms and the success following this system, we decided to develop a further innovative, stock control system which can run locally, without the need to be connected to the internet. This product can generate a host of reports and update the website in a fashion which makes it quicker and easier for the medium sized dealer. In order to develop this we offered a share of our company and split the company into three equal shares in order to take on a very experienced developer. We named this product Autoshowrooms V2.0 and this was successfully launched in July 2005.

It has functionality on functionality…. The software even checks for updates when you load it so if there is a new feature available as we develop the solution further you will get it, which means the software will grow as your business needs grow.

In February 2007, we started developing a new solution for various business sectors, which is designed and being marketed around increasing a companies profile, revenue and customer service levels.  This product will be launched in October 2007.  Keep watching this space for full information of our exciting new products and services.
