Bespoke eBusiness
Solutions
Whilst all of the solutions we provide are designed to meet
unique customer requirements, some are more challenging,
requiring solutions that are very special in terms of their
business objectives and complexity.

Findon & Son / Novosol Plantas

Novosol Plantas, are specialist growers of plant cuttings,
propagated in strictly controlled environments, under glass,
using complex computer management systems. They supply many
millions of cuttings to their trade customers annually.
Lion Formprint Group
(FPG)
Lion FPG are a highly successful print management company,
supplying the vast majority of the printed material requirements
to their Blue Chip customers.

Lion Formprint Group
To satisfy the requests of a number of their major customers, Lion FPG
had to be able to accept orders for their stationery products on-line,
rather than through the traditional telesales process.
Each customer
had a unique range of supplies it purchased from Lion FPG, with
associated unique prices. Details of orders, products, box quantities
and prices were held on a series of spreadsheets and the requirement
was for staff to be able to continue maintaining the information in
this way.
A system was developed to enable large trade customers to
go to an area of the Lion FPG web site and login using a unique
username and password. They were then taken to a secure area of the web
site where they could view only the products they regularly ordered,
along with the prices that they paid. Using a bespoke shopping cart
system, orders could be placed and amended, delivery requirements
entered and finally transmitted securely, with customer authorisation,
to Lion FPG for processing and fulfilment.
Further, we provided Lion
FPG with a facility for managing their customer products and prices
offline, using their existing spreadsheets, and upload them to the
online database, to add and change information, at the click of a
button.
As a result of the system, which was launched in January
2002, Lion FPG has been able to retain existing customers and win new
ones, resulting in a fast payback of their investment costs.
