[Back to Case Studies]
(Identity of site withheld to honor confidentiality agreement. Sub-contract.)
Task
Customer had vast inventory to put online for a new e-commerce site. Many
products had hundreds or thousands of possible configurations because of colors,
add-ons, and other options. In addition, a number of products had the capability
to include stock images and offered printing options with dynamic text entered by
the web user.
Customer also wanted to have total control over the configuration of the products
and also have content control over the main page.
Solution
This was a very complex task. To gain maximum productivity in coding
and ensure optimum speed to market, ASP.NET was the language used. Microsoft
SQL Server is the backend database driving the site, with a set of finely tuned
stored procedures providing maximum efficiency.
Highlights
- Full featured administrative control panel allowing comprehensive control over product
configuration (the screen shots to the right just touch the surface).
- Dynamic image manipulation so customers can build a product online and actually
see a representation of the finished product before purchasing.
- Unlimited categories.
- Products can be associated with any number of categories.
- Unlimited optional add-ons to products.
- Comprehensive image upload management.
- Pricing bands based on quantity. Product add-ons can have their own unique
pricing banding separate from main product.
- Sales reports.
- Shipping system/cost integration with dynamic order tracking.
- Credit card processing integration, instant approval.
- Email notification to warehouse and customer upon order completion.
