Lindsay Saker

Lindsay Saker wanted to create a flat product and marketing focused website. The launch of the site was a huge success and set the standard in automotive site design in South Africa. The Lindsay Saker Website contained some really great visual features, like in depth animated vehicle specs and the ability to book test drives online, long before any other dealers were doing it.

It also lead to a long lasting and lucrative relationship with many automotive brands.

Lloyds

We were responsible for building a Reassurance Engine for Lloyds in America, a very difficult system that had to overcome a number of American bureaucratic idiosyncrasies with regards to reassurance, to make it to market. The system was built for brokers to dynamically acquire quotes and process the accepted contracts without the UK to US time zone issue, by queuing applications to agents in the United Kingdom for completion.

The Kolosus project continued into the development of an Intranet, which was integrated to feed the Internet site, with up-to-date information.

It allows for sponsors to build pages, edit pages and to totally self manage their own advertising within the site, using a banner server that was written by QDI.

Office Digest is an office portal that is focused a business subscription and sponsorship model. The site details all areas of office management and "how-to's" on administration.

OTK

The development for OTK was unique, the strategy demanded that OTK, who is basically a broker for farmers, build on their existing relationships and forge new ones between the farmers and the buyers.

After the collapse of the co-operation agreement in South Africa, farmers had the ability to go direct to the buyers, OTK needed to ensure that they could offer the farmers a viable solution to encourage them to stay with the co-op service.

Everything would be determined around what kind of value OTK could provide, so we installed dial-up banks at OTK, supplied all the farmers free access to e-mail and the Internet.

We then created a vast Extranet, that allowed the farmers and the buyers to buy and sell online, book and pay for silo storage space, buy new equipment, buy and receive deliveries from local shops. In addition, the Extranet ran articles, that educate the farmers about the latest farming techniques, soil management and how to produce the best crops.

Transnet

An internal training program, built in Java for their Intranet.
