FIT Show Preview
BM GROUP BACK AT FIT
The Business Micros Group will be at this
year’s FIT Show, and the company says it
will be showing fabricators and installers
why, when it comes to software and web
solutions, it is still the number one supplier
in the industry.
All the Business Micros Group companies
will be represented on the stand, including
BM Aluminium, which will be giving visitors
their first look at v12 of its LogiKal aluminium
processing software, and demonstrating some
of the features and shortcuts in LogiKal which
can help users get even more value from their
rental subscription.
The Business Micros team will also be
highlighting the newest stock management
and delivery features in its EvoNET business
management system, and The Consultancy
will be demonstrating its web development
and retail lead generation solutions.
Graeme Bailey, Group Managing Director, said:
“We’re very excited to be back at FIT in 2023
as the bigger and stronger BM Group. Our
stand will showcase the depth and breadth of
our product range and expertise, and reinforce
to existing and potential new customers
that we can support them with any digital or
software requirement.”
Nickie West, the FIT Show Event Director, added:
“Business Micros exhibited at the very first FIT
Show back in 2013, and have supported several
editions over the last decade...we’re excited to
showcase how the Business Micros software
has developed over the last ten years.”

A TRUSTED PLATFORM FOR REBRAND
First Degree Systems’ international parent
company has rebranded as Cyncly, and will
be exhibiting at the FIT Show to let customers
experience how a new period of investment and
expansion across the home improvement space
will benefit companies using its software,
including window and door fabricators.
“Our new brand, Cyncly, unites us and
encompasses our passion to drive
innovation to enable our customers to be
more successful,” Ron Crowl (pictured

business, enabling them to simplify complexity, grow
sales, increase efficiency, and drive innovation.
“Bringing together best-in-industry solutions from
all our brands, Cyncly helps everyone in the value
chain make their work and the outcomes for their
customers amazing.”
Gerda says it has taken the lessons learned
from its spectacular debut and distilled that
information into its offer for visitors to its stand
at the 2023 event.
Gerda Residential Doors says it is unique in
the UK with a range of contemporary steel and
aluminium faced doors, that offer a level of
thermal and security performance that is not
available at this price point from any other brand.
The past year has been used to develop classic
four panel, glazed and unglazed styles in addition
to the contemporary designs that have become
so popular with buyers of aluminium windows in
Britain and Ireland in recent years.
Gerda’s unique engineered construction uses
steel or aluminium skins mounted on robust
internal aluminium chassis, utilising a PU foam
core that provides excellent thermal insulation.
Gerda doors are specified throughout mainland
Europe for their attention to security, with all
doors enjoying multi point locks, three bolt main
Cyncly’s brands that operate in the window, door
and glass sectors in the UK include First Degree
Systems, Compusoft, FeneTech, and Contract
ERP. Together, they will be discussing their leading
software solutions on Stand Q15 at the FIT Show.
Greg Beachim, Sales Manager of First Degree
Systems, said: “We can now take Window Designer
to places we didn’t even think possible as
part of a small company. Cyncly gives us
access to 2,500 employees across the
world – each with their own special set
of skills – who can develop the right
solutions for our customers.
“We are looking forward to discussing these
with existing and new customers at the FIT Show in
May, where we will have a prominent stand close to
the entrance to Hall 9.”
