Internal iPhone App for Sales Staff
Developed for Roland, manufacturers and distributers of musical equipment worldwide, this iphone app development project has involved designing and developing an interactive app using rich media such as audio and video data to allow their sales staff to showcase their entire product base of approx 2,000 products.
Products are searchable by product name/number or the user can browse down through 4 sub category levels until they reach the product they want to showcase.
We then offer detailed product information including price, a short description, long description, mutiple product images, quick time audio clips and streamed video demonstrations played using the in-built YouTube player.
We also offer location based services to help locate the nearest dealer with stock, news and promotional articles, a favourites section, linked product accessories, and secure services to show Roland staff only, the latest financial and stock data.
Developed using C++ in an Xcode environment, this app uses many web services/XML to pull information from the website database to the app to provide up to the minute data. Thus all the iPhone app navigation and content is dynamic and being driven by webservices.

Villa rental website with 128 exclusive properties overseas.
In 2009, I moved my business from a company in India, and engaged Impact Technology to maintain and develop my vacation rental website. Since then the website has undergone many large changes from a complete redesign, to simplifying booking functionality and enhancing usability features. There have also been many back end changes, simplifying key administration tasks, including the creation of a variety of complex reporting and financial functions.
More recently we have been focused on social aspects and enhancing the delivery of guest services to our customers before arrival and during their stay. Impact have developed bespoke forums for us so that guests can ask questions of other guests prior to booking, and integrated live chat software to the website to support pre-sales. We are about to launch a bespoke private messaging system that will allow guests to communicate, both with each other and key members of staff, before, during and after their visit.
I have found Impact’s input into all of these changes invaluable. Andy will always find the most efficient and budget conscious solution to a problem, and Jo has often been a sounding board for looking at things from the customers perspective. Thus far it’s been a mutually beneficial relationship and I am confident it will continue to be so.
