Development
ViewPoint
TradeMaster (VPtM), is our
flexible and highly sophisticated
website software for
all types of eCommerce, eBusiness and Content Management. Developed in partnership
with Viewpoint Software LTD (Ireland). VPtM can be integrated with an existing
website to provide a seamless
e-business expansion, or set
up as a fully content-managed/e-business
branded website in it’s own right.
Where VPtM is being used for eCommerce, its
powerfully content management
system comes into it’s own
by linking products and/or
services with content to provide
un-paralleled rich shopping
experience for customers. Although
VPtM is a MANAGED and HOSTED
SERVICE, it is a system that
you control. VPtM is web-based
and SECURE, with no administration
software to install. More info

Featured Software Project

Utilisation of open-source software
In the course of delivering software
solutions to our clients we often
utilise ready developed open-source
software in conjunction
with our own bespoke project-specific
software. There is no point
re-inventing the wheel, and importantly,
utilisation of such software helps us keep
our prices down.
