Project: Web Site Re-Design with E-commerce Back-End

Jandra Shading Systems Ltd. is a leader in the sales and manufacturing of top quality blinds and draperies. For years Jandra had catered primarily to a business market such as schools, hospitals, and large institutions. However, Jandra came to Aoulous Inc. with the desire to expand their customer base and to reach into the home consumer base. They had a web site, but it simply wasn’t benefiting their business in the way they had expected.
Through a comprehensive consultation by Aoulous Inc., Jandra was able to realize how a professionally designed web site could streamline their business processes and help it reach out to a broader audience. The solution proposed for Jandra Shadings was a two tier solution, involving both a complete web site redesign to make their existing site easier to navigate as well as to improve load time, and an advanced e-commerce back-end.
Jandra Shadings required a complex solution that would integrate with the databases of their suppliers and distributors, as well as their own product catalog. Because of the inter-dependencies of the Jandra database with third parties, Aoulous Inc. decided to use a combination of Microsoft technologies including ASP and SQL server running on a Window 2000 Advanced Server cluster. Through ODBC connectivity, the Jandra shadings web site is able to interface with virtually any database format and exchange information with a variety of back-end order processing systems.
Of course, Aoulous Inc. stressed a clean, professional, and fast loading design for the Jandra shadings web site. Jandra was provided with a complete corporate imaging solution including letterheads, business cards, envelopes, and logo design. This complete Aoulous Inc. solution brought their company image, and hence their professionalism, to a new level resulting in increased revenue and a broadening of their market share.
