The Brief

Kids Play had been operating using a Roman Cart ecommerce platform. The primary issues with this platform was the enormous maintenance overhead, for example, adding new booking sessions was taking over a week using several Excel spreadsheets.

Although the original site was a functional ecommerce store it wasn't optimised for booking events and childcare. Therefore, the detail of the bookings was not recorded adequately and relied on email and Outlook rules to distribute booking details to venue managers to manually transfer the booking details into Parenta (software package).

The client reviewed many off the shelf alternatives and quickly concluded a bespoke system would be much more efficient.

So the brief was created to:

• Build a system which would serve the booking facility to 18+ venues using multiple payment gateways and through several external web sites.
• Include the ability to use childcare vouchers.
• Include the ability for parents to register their children by converting the paper based application process to an online experience.
• Include the ability for parents to review their own bookings with a 'my account' page.
• Allow the booking process to be styled to suit the venue.
• Allow some venues to run a membership scheme.
• Ability to purchase multi-ticket day passes to use as payment on later bookings.
• Ability to add multi-level discount structures covering Early Booking, Sibling Discounts, Discount codes and Multi-buy.
• Ability to operate a loyalty reward system.
• The administration of the sites and parents to be available to multiple staff members with them only seeing the detail of the venue they are responsible for.
• Have a clear session register for pickup, dropoff and attendance tracking.
• Parent notification process.
• Full Financial reporting and childcare voucher reconciliation functions.

VISIONMP Ltd. required a suite of health & safety services and tools as a cloud based application.

This system needed to offer a complete set of tools to create, record and complete important health & safety procedures/documentation such as RIDDOR, CoSHH and risk assessments.

The Solution

The core of the solution was to develop a cloud-based, database driven ASP.NET application.

We had to develop this system with growth at the forefront of our minds due to a quickly-expanding user base. Using an efficient JavaScript front-end to maintain system responsiveness coupled with dynamic cloud hosting to keep both client costs controlled and the user base satisfied.

The system provides H&S templates to help users record their information and use charting and analysis with RAGing (Red, Amber, Green) based dashboards to quickly inform where they need to focus their attention. Reporting is PDF based documentation which is dynamically created throughout the system.

The development of VISION is ongoing, we regularly meet to plan and develop enhancements to the system.

GJ Bream Ltd are builders and contractors who are proud to offer a high quality and professional service. After their previous website had not been updated for many years, GJ Bream were looking for a much more modern and distinctive website.

With a great reputation in the area, they were focusing on having a web site which stood out from the crowd - both parties like the idea of exploring a fish swimming approach.

With a requirement to easily update the content, we agreed on using Word Press as the chosen platform.
