WENDY’S (ONLINE SYSTEM)

One type of project we sometimes get called into is taking over the ongoing development and maintenance of custom systems where the original vendor is not meeting the needs of the client. In Wendy’s case this meant getting our head into their custom build CMS/CRM system, moving it to a new server, making the front-end mobile responsive and then handling ongoing development needs from there.

XPO (CROSS-PLATFORM APP)

XPO owns and runs more than a dozen of New Zealand’s largest business-to-business trade shows. They contracted us to create an app that would allow the sales people on stands to quickly capture visitor details (by scanning the QR code on visitor’s lanyards), along with responses, notes and even optional on the spot purchases. The end result has been a highly intuitive app that stand holders have been rapt with; a big win for XPO and their clients in both efficiency and experience.
