Project Challenges

Toolweb required an online catalog and tool reference application that could be made universally available to their resellers and end-customers without the need for a full-client application install. The site needed to be able to search, sort and compare attributes for several hundred thousand products, but still be usable by the target audience (shop mechanics and managers). Product details are loaded into the site by vendors and verified via a branching back office workflow that validates their accuracy and compliance with the parameters required by the website. Product details are secured via a number of proprietary methods to prevent "scraping" of data from the site by competitors. The website may be easily "re-skinned" to allow rebranding of the interface for specific partner requirements.

What We Assembled

  • Back office product entry tool and workflows
  • Comprehensive search and browse system to handle 100,000+ products
  • Product data presentation security
  • Re-skinnable site design
