For the past 40 years Isherwoods has provided Management Systems to more than 100 customers in 38 different countries, with over 400 systems delivered in several languages.

Isherwoods began trading in 1907. The founder, Joseph William Isherwood, was a respected naval architect who designed and patented a revolutionary system of construction for seagoing vessels using a longitudinal framing system. By 1918 about 1,050 vessels had been constructed throughout the world.

Joseph Isherwood later received a knighthood in recognition of his contribution to the maritime industry. In the 1930's he developed the 'ARCFORM' hull design to improve fuel consumption and 50 ships were built to that design between 1933 and 1954.

In the 1960's Isherwoods started to provide Ship Management Systems to ship owners and operators. The first manual Maintenance Management and Stock Control system for commercial shipping was produced in 1963. Computerised Stock Control and Planned Maintenance (SCPM) systems soon followed.

Since 1980 the company has increased the scope of its business market, winning further contracts with government, military and industrial customers.

Our primary business activity now is the supply of computerised Maintenance Management Systems (MMS) or Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) Services to Commercial Shipping, Industrial and Military markets.

We have made many improvements since the first manual based systems of 1963 to the current IMIS- based system today. We now use Microsoft Windows™ technology to extend the functionality of our systems and to integrate Maintenance, Supply, Configuration and Document Management.

We can now produce interactive electronic technical publications, or if necessary we can also meet the ongoing demand for hardcopy printed publications.

Our investment in software development and keeping up with the latest available information technology will allow us to continue introducing improved integrated software applications in the future.
