Our Projects & Case Studies
Web Order Management and Quoting System
The Challenge: A need to integrate a centralized
work order management Access database with a quoting system
developed in Excel.
Key Metric: Tracking of several thousand client
requests per year for quotes (RFQ) developed within Excel by sales
personnel to be uploaded to a centralized database for work order
management and statistics measurements.
Key Innovation: Two-way integration between Access
and Excel. Sales personnel are able to create a quote workbook
within Access, develop a formalized quote for the client, followed
by an automated upload of the quote details to Access.
Benefits to Organization: All work orders are
tracked centrally, allowing for statistical analysis (sales per
period, sales by sales rep, etc.). Quote files are pre-populated
with client information. The Excel quote files are completed with
the client (detached from the central database), and the final
details are returned to the database at the push of a button.
Centralized City Details Database with Excel Import and Export
The Challenge: To develop a centralized archive of
data to be imported from Excel. The data import must identify
possible missing or incorrect data. An export capability to produce
standardized Excel files containing user-specified ranges of data
(all records for a given region, all metrics for specific years,
etc.). The database must also allow for customization for future
data elements (new cities, countries, metrics, etc.).
Key Metric: Several hundred cities are assessed
annually based on certain measurable criteria. A centralized
database was required to maintain the data for reporting and
analysis, covering several years of data.
Key Innovation: Two-way integration between Access
and Excel. Staff are able to collect and refine city metrics
information within Excel. The administrator is able to easily import
Excel files into the database, preceded by data error checking. The
administrator subsequently can choose a set of criteria to export
data back to Excel. The administrator is also able to develop a
library of queries to display and export adhoc inquiries.
Benefits to Organization: Multiple years of data
are immediately accessible for analysis. Both the import and export
Excel file formats are standardized, facilitating both the data
collection and additional reporting. New measurements can be added
to the database as required.
Logistics Web Application
The Challenge: Their current system lacked the
flexibility to provide order status information in various formats
and to provide accurate real time information.
Key Metric: Automatically process thousands of API
calls daily.
Key Innovation: Custom system that tracks status
changes and passes along up-to-date information to clients and other
stakeholders.
Benefits to Organization: Customers receive
automated emails while clients receive updates to input into their
systems. The client can expand its business to other regions because
of the flexibility and quality of the solution.
HR Web Database
The Challenge: Information was spread out on
multiple confusing spreadsheets. Their access to information was
available to only a few key members via VPN.
Key Metric: Tracking HR information for five
companies, at over 10 sites, for more than 70 employees and 125
contractors.
Key Innovation: Custom reminders ensure work gets
done, while history of all document uploads maintains compliance.
Benefits to Organization: Now, information is
streamlined and available to all necessary users in one easy-to-use
web database.
Action Plan Tracking and Reporting
The Challenge: A government department used a
Word-based process to track various plans, acquire status updates
from various branches, compile statistics, and provide bi-annual
updates to committee members. All statistics were painstakingly
manually calculated from this Word document.
Key Metric: A centralized database was required to
reduce the staff's workload and ensure fewer errors.
Key Innovation: We created an Access database that
allowed the multi-layered data to be properly interconnected.
Benefits to Organization: The required reports
could be generated with the simple press of a button! The team saved
an immense amount of time and since the reports were compiled using
the source data, the data is more accurate.
The Challenge: This organization grew quickly but
did not have the infrastructure to support its growth. They were
turning away work because they had exceeded their capacity to manage
their shipments manually.
Key Metric: A customized database to track
thousands of web orders for delivery to clients.
Key Innovation:Their system adapts to how their
staff prefers to input data while effectively dealing with any
special cases that don't follow the standard rules.
Benefits to Organization: With stronger
infrastructure in place to support their business, this organization
has the tools it needs to expand. No more turning away clients!
