Autoscribe announces a growth of 58.5% in new software system orders on a worldwide basis compared to 2004/5
In particular, strong performances have been seen in North America (131.9% growth) and the UK (65.9% growth) with Matrix Lims contributing most significantly.
It is also interesting to note that this growth is due to doubling the number of systems sold in the year rather than the booking of one large system order.
One other business measure of interest is the level of enquiries received which has grown monthly, by on average 55 times, over the past nine months.
This is due to the much improved Autoscribe website and increased global promotional activities.
Clearly this is now filtering down into increased business.
Although final figures are not yet known expenses came in below target and a significant profit is expected to be reported for the year.
"The business growth is very significant particularly as Matrix Gemini, the new Lims, did not contribute to the figures but will feature strongly in 2006-2007".
"In addition, interest in our general business applications such as Training Manager and Feedback (for customer complaints management) is growing fast and expected to contribute significantly towards another strong growth year in 2006-7" says John Boother, managing director of Autoscribe .
