    OUR CLIENT PORTFOLIO
    Take a look at our clients, and the solutions that we have most recently design and/or developed.  While most of our clients require that we implement our entire process (functional specifications included), many only have specific needs.  We work with our clients and do our best to determine how best to engage them with the resources currently available, or to alleviate them of having to occupy their own resources.

    InPro Corporation
    InPro Corp. is the largest manufacturer of wall protection and like products, so their key clients are major hospitals, hotels, and other institutions where gurnees and/or serving carts are used regularly (to avoid the carts from damaging the walls and doors). So, because their key clients are also businesses, InPro required a deeply functional, very integrated Ecommerce engine to make it efficient for clients to purchase products online. While there was a solution in place, it was only integrated at the lowest levels, so BlueBolt was contracted to completely redesign, and redevlop the entire B2B shopping portion of the website.

    Along with the tools that might come as normal consideration around B2B ecommerce, BlueBolt also was able to buid several complex configurators, and, worked closely with the InPro Corp.staff in order to integrate the source code from the website into InPro's legacy ERP solution.

For this reason, Saint Anthony's administrators chose to add bilingual (Spanish) functionality to their new website redesign/redevelopment project.
