Beau-Fort - digital astronaut: creative digital studio

Beau-Fort, producer of parasols, wind screens and cushions for professionals approached us with the request to build them a visual tool to enhance the customer experience on their website. By configuring the options in the tool, a potential customer gets a visual approximation of the product they wish to buy.

When photographer Alex Vervaeck approached us, he not only had the need for a new portfolio website to showcase some of this work for potential new clients. But he also had the request to build an online shop system for parents to buy their children’s school photographs online.

On one hand we built a simple and clean portfolio website based on WordPress. On the other hand we built a custom application where school photographs can be uploaded, an automatic list with a unique code per child is generated and where parent can login using that code to directly pay for their photographs online, using the Mollie payment system.

Each year, Aquafin who strives to increase the quality of the Flemish watercourses, hosts the Chap’eau event to bring attention to their accomplishments. Our colleagues from The Oval Office help organise the entire event and contacted us for their event website.

Together we’ve built an easy-to-use event website where guests can buy tickets and reserve their places for the activities that take place during the event. All with an integrated online payment system based on Mollie.

Feral Group, producer of steel frame windows and doors, presented us with a typical problem a lot of companies in their position face: they were losing a lot of time on administrative tasks rather than actually being able to do the work they enjoy.

Especially calculating prices based on their distributors’ measurements and preferred options and subsequently creating quotes for those requests was a time-consuming job. Resolving this with an automated process would save the company both a lot of time and money.

We helped to create a custom tool that consists out of two parts. The first is a configurator to replace the need for manual calculations by Feral Group employees. This configurator allows people to easily configure their product while seeing a preview and budget estimation for the final product. Afterwards the system automatically generates a quote as PDF, saving Feral Group a huge amount of time.

The second part is an account and login system for employees and distributors and an admin interface in which Feral Group can manage the accounts of their employees, distributors and their subaccounts. Later on we also added a publicly available version of the application embedded on Feral Group’s website with a bit fewer options.

When Muzaïek, an organisation which hosts (musical related) activities for children, required a new website, they also saw this as an opportunity to automate a large part of the subscription process for their activities.

More opportunities lied in the centralisation of their customer’s data, the automation of sending participation and fiscal certificates and much more.

Our collaboration with Lobkey Monster resulted in an ecosystem of two applications that fluently work together. There’s Muzaïek’s main website, which is controlled by a WordPress cms that contains the FAQ, contact page, blog posts and more.

And there’s a secondary, much larger system: a custom web application which controls the creation and management of activities, the families’ and co-workers’ accounts, all subscriptions and corresponding payments. As well as the automated sending of several system emails, including the certificates and an download section only available for certain user roles.
