Over 50 years’ experience • Marine specialists
With over 50 years’ experience, Flexicovers specialises in the design and manufacture of premium boat covers, bimini tops and marine awnings for the world’s leading yacht builders, including Sunseeker International, Princess Yachts, Fairline Yachts, Sealine and Williams Performance Tenders.
Rapid growth forced the business to expand into a second factory just 100 metres from the main site. The existing spreadsheet and paper-based processes quickly began to buckle under the increased volume, creating bottlenecks, stock control issues and limited visibility across production.
Chapman IT carried out a thorough analysis of their operations to pinpoint every bottleneck and weak point. We then implemented 1BizApp as the new central system and introduced targeted automation:
Complete, real-time visibility of every job in the factory at any moment
The system continuously learns from actual process times, delivering far more accurate data for profitability analysis, lead-time forecasting, workload planning and performance bonuses
Effortless stock reordering — simply walk the aisles with a portable barcode reader and instantly generate an accurate order list
A truly self-running system where jobs flow automatically throughout the factory, driven entirely by the staff
Most importantly, the team has fully embraced the change, taken real ownership and helped tailor 1BizApp to their exact needs — an involvement that has been warmly welcomed across the business.
The business has since consolidated into a single, larger factory with everything under one roof, yet 1BizApp remains the reliable operational heartbeat that drives efficiency, quality and continued growth.
1BizApp has transformed our factory. Before, I was spending around 25% of my time creating job sheets and chasing work through the building. Now the system runs itself — orders flow smoothly from team to team with zero input from me.
Our staff have really taken ownership of it. They’ve enjoyed being involved in shaping the system to our needs and have embraced the independence it gives them. It’s become a genuine self-running operation that everyone loves.

Creators of 1BizApp • We run our entire business on it
As the creators of 1BizApp, we run our entire business on the same platform we deliver to our clients. It is our complete solution for marketing campaigns, time tracking, contact and document management, and invoicing — all in one seamless system.
Whenever we start work for a client, we simply launch a timer and record a clear description of the task. If we need to switch between clients or projects, we start a new timer — the previous one automatically pauses. We can complete the current task or easily restart any paused timer whenever required. This gives us total flexibility and complete accuracy at all times.
At the end of each month, an automated process intelligently rounds all recorded time to the nearest 15 minutes and instantly generates professional, fully itemised invoices. Every line clearly shows the date, the exact description we entered, the hours worked, and the precise cost.
Effortless efficiency across all operations
100% accurate billing with fully itemised invoices
Complete visibility and control over all client work
Continuous real-world testing and improvement of 1BizApp based on daily use
