Application Development - Case Study - Boiler Cover and Service Management

Return to Application Development

Overview

Our client required an application where their helpdesk could review servicing and boiler cover information for their customers.

Replacing a old Access database, the solution needed to integrate with their website, allowing their clients to review, renew and sign up for cover as well.

Years of existing data would also need to be migrated, and security would be paramount.

Requirements

  • Allow all users access to client information, adapted to their security
  • Ability for customers to sign up, pay and renew their cover online
  • Track renewal dates and service information
  • Integrate with providers, including Direct Debit
  • Management reporting of key data

Core Application Framework

Our solutions share a core framework developed in house that has been deployed with all our applications. This core framework provides a proven, secure scaffold which bespoke applications are constructed upon.

Desktop, mobile or tablet compatible

As well as being attractive, our application design is 100% responsive so it works on any desktop, mobile or tablet without any software to install.

The interface adapts to suit its platform, so you get the same experience regardless of how its viewed, and updates to any part of the application are instantly accessible on all devices.

Unlimited users with enterprise level security

Unlike off-the-shelf solutions there are no subscription charges or costs per user - once the development is complete the number of users in the system is unlimited.

This allows your solution to scale with your business, and with tiered, enterprise level security, the solution can tailor access and permissions to your exact requirements.

'Access anywhere' cloud platform

Deployed on our cloud hosting platform, our solutions aren't restricted to use within your office. Allowing remote users, home workers or just users on the move to continue working regardless of location.

Its online location also allows integration with external services, such as workflows attached to online stores or allowing management of public facing services in real time.

Powerful dashboards

Each user type has their own customised dashboard with graphs, lists, reminders and alerts

Data is visualised, patterns analysed and performance realised using interactive pie/bar charts
