An online project management and recruitment tool for the TV industry.
In an industry where staff are primarily freelancers and by the very nature of the job unable to take calls during work time, it can be difficult to locate and pull together an experienced team for a new project. Availability TV launched to offer high visibility and access to the key players out there looking for experienced freelancers. The online portal offers Directors/Producers a subscription service to find freelance staff such as sound men, runners etc, see when they're available, contact them 24/7 and book their services at the touch of a button. Employers can even read reviews of prospective freelancers and access their CV's online to ensure they're contacting the best person for their job.
Once a Director/Producer has pulled together their preferred team, they can bulk email/sms the team to offer their proposition and salary etc and the system collates the yes/no/maybe answers from candidates in both email and sms format and if appropriate blocks out the time in the candidates calendars so as to avoid double bookings.
No.1 ecommerce website - Andrew Strain
No.1 Traveller
www.no1traveller.com
Ecommerce website serving 6 major UK Airports.
We contracted Impact to help us develop an ecommerce website offering executive lounge services at Heathrow, Gatwick & Stansted. Impact assisted in writing the functional specification and developed the ecommerce store from scratch. Over time we have enhanced the website to now take bookings for everything from lounge access to limousine hire, and airside bedrooms to spa services. This website queries real-time availability using web API's and pushes bookings through to the relevant airport lounges, plus distributes messaging to all appropriate services eg concierge, beauty therapists etc. There are also affiliate tracking systems and dynamic discount code features.
This project has involved some complex problem solving and development and we have always found Andy more than capable of delivering a solution that has met our needs, timeline and budget.
I have always found Impact to be prompt in communications, available to discuss any ideas or issues that we’ve had, and they have often gone the extra mile by making changes to our website and epos systems in the early hours of the morning so as to minimise disruption to our executive lounges.
