Company History

The SPOCS system was first developed in the late 80s in a database language called TAS. The original core of the product was developed by the founder for his own Sheet Plant. Hence the emphasis on never entering anything twice and ease of use. Word spread through the industry, and soon “everybody wanted one”! So, the founder launched KM Software Systems Ltd. and started selling software.

Initially SPOCS was further developed as a highly customised system for each client. By 1994, with over 50 systems in the field, support was becoming a major headache. SPOCS Version 4 was born, combining the features of all the disparate systems into a single one with a vast array of settings. At a stroke KMSS could maintain it more easily but without taking away the clients’ ability to configure the system to their own way of working.

At the end of the 90s, and after a lengthy development, SPOCS32 was born. It was a complete re-write of the original product in a 32-bit Windows™ form. In the decades since its launch it has been continuously adapted and improved by implementing our customers’ suggestions and requests. Several key modules have been added to provide solutions to the real-life problems of running a Sheet Plant.

Although still a family-owned and run company, KMSS is looking to the future and planning for growth. The story continues…
