Tenderscan

Our client approached us to re-design and develop their ASP website into PHP, MySQL. The primary objective was to enhance the usability, functionality and speed of the site.

Problem was... ASP site running an Access database! Their staff throughout the country uploaded images of Tenders by FTP and recorded the data manually into a local Access database.

Our biggest challenge was to import this data from a MS Access database into a MySQL database and read the manually uploaded Tender Images.

To overcome the slow server response, particularly while doing searches (typical with ASP sites), we programmed a hefty AJAX search class. Search results are cached, thus increasing search times drastically. We improved the overall speed by nearly 65% over the old wbesite.

We have implemented a CronJob (TIME) manager which periodically imports data, images and handles all bulk messaging services without overloading the server during peak traffic times.

Unfortunately it's not possible to mention all features built into the Tenderscan website. However to name a few...

AJAX Powered Administration Console, Ecommerce for Recurring and Once-Off payments, Automated Profile Reminders, PDF Invoice Generation, FLASH Graphs for Statistics, Fully CMS Managed
