Phil Abbott
Director
Director at ABS, helping UK businesses get their systems pulling in the same direction instead of sulking in separate corners.
People who stay close to the work
Good technology starts with understanding the people and businesses who rely on it.
Since 1990 we’ve built our reputation on knowing our clients' businesses as well as they do, solving problems before they become costly, and being the kind of partner that picks up the phone.
Nobody spills blood, sweat and tears going into business to spend their days wrestling with technology. But that’s where many businesses end up: patching things together, working around limitations, and hoping nothing breaks at the worst possible moment.
ABS has been sorting that out since 1990. We listen, then make the solution fit around how you already work.
Who you deal with
ABS is run by its directors, Phil Abbott and Michelle Reece. It’s small enough that the people who scope the work are the people who do it, and you won’t be handed to an account manager who has never seen your system.

Who we work with
Experience shaped by the work you do
Most of what we know has been learned alongside teams in three kinds of business.
Make, move, deliver
Manufacturing
Works orders, bills of materials, shop-floor data, stock accuracy and traceability. A wrong number can cost a production run, not just an awkward meeting.
Quality at every step
Healthcare & medical devices
Regulated manufacture, lot and serial traceability, quality systems and the audit trail that has to hold up when someone asks.
Time to value
Professional services
Time, projects, billing and the gap between work done and work invoiced.
The group
ABS, ITSI and ECS
ABS works alongside two associated companies. They’re separately owned - there’s no parent company - but we refer work, subcontract and bid together where it serves the client.
