Development History
EDG began life as Eastern Data Processing, developing and marketing automated doorstep delivery and managed systems for dairies. Roundmaster, Fieldmaster and Opal became the standard for the UK dairy industry. In recent years, LoanMaster has been developed to automate doorstep collection of cash for debt or home purchase settlement.
In 2002, EDG acquired Portable Software Solutions “PSS” in Dublin. PSS had developed their own hand-held systems, primarily for FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) markets. Further investment in these systems created a new Microsoft focused product range called Mobilise. The Mobilise suite of products is now widely used throughout UK and Ireland.
EDG has taken the strategic decision to integrate all their products to develop Advantedg. This modular approach provides a tool kit for handling data with mobile hand-held computing devices over a wide range of platforms.
