When we were contacted by Jutco, their site was being updated with FrontPage, and their catalogue consisted of hundreds of items in HTML tables. It had become unmanageable. Our client needed to automate their online catalogue and tie it into their existing customer relations database, and allow their customers to place orders online.
We used osCommerce, an open source e-commerce system, to set up a product database that they could administer themselves through a web-based interface. This site is customized for Australian taxes and sells only to tools dealers, so we built a function that requires dealers to submit a credit application in order to set up an account. Our client is now using the system to update the site regularly, and we are involved in the ongoing maintenance as needed. The logo was supplied to us by our client.
