In 1975 four wholesale pharmaceutical companies put a company together to run a single computer system to process all of their invoicing and pricing. They could not afford one each, but their national competitors had got into this technology. The company was called Gleneden Systems Ltd.

Gleneden commissioned a new stock control and invoicing system in 1980 called the Phoenix system, which was able to run on smaller more affordable computers in each of the wholesale depots. The Phoenix system grew and attracted another 14 firms who were also in wholesale pharmaceuticals.

In 1986 Rombus Computers was formed to take over the running of the Gleneden user base, and started to develop the Phoenix system into what you see today. As Rombus Computers became more commercial we started to develop and widen the scope of our customers and offere support to a broader range of companies all over the country. From the beginning, keeping up with technology has been a priority for Rombus, and we continue to develop our product range using the latest techniques.
