Electrical testing is our core service as we are able to service large numbers with a system designed to accommodate organisations of any size with single or multiple sites.

Testel uses a proprietary database called TES, to which we own the copyright. It is a powerful management tool with a range of features which significantly reduce test time and operator time. This in turn reduces service costs whilst enhancing the accuracy and quality of our service. TES is an interactive database. Clients can view a range of reports on their own desktop computer using the source data from the Testel server. Available reports include performance reports, budget forecasts, test results etc. As a further feature clients will have access to edit or append the data stored on the Testel server. This means contact details can be changed, new items can be purchased at a site and their details added to the database by authorized personnel.
