Don’t just take our word for it…
Our clients think we’re awesome too…
“We have been working with Target since 2010 and they provide a business information management system to our site. I can confirm that their response times to support requests for upgrade or issues is better than excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending Target to you; they are more like work colleagues than contractors.”
“We’ve found the Target company very easy to work with, the coding is excellent and the system itself is self-explanatory; it is working exactly how we envisaged for this first phase, and we can’t wait to roll it out around the Estate.”
“Target’s expertise was the deciding factor; as we wanted a system that was flexible and adaptable to meet our needs if processes were to change. Target have proven to be specialists in their field. Providing expert services to ensure we get the functionality we need from our new system. No job is too big or too small for them, the support services are always fast, friendly and helpful.”
