In 2021 we launched a new website for the County Wexford Community Workshop (Enniscorthy) – https://cwcwe.ie/. Recently we’ve completed a process improvement exercise for CWCWE where we transformed a paper based recruitment application process to a digital process. This has resulted in increased efficiencies for the organisation.
Case Study – ToolCheck
Technologies Used
Description
Toolcheck.ie is the brainchild of a Wicklow carpenter who has been the victim of tool theft in the past. He had a very simple but powerful idea for how best to combat this. The site is aimed at tradespeople who own valuable tools that are at risk of being stolen.
The central concept behind ToolCheck is to build up a comprehensive database of tools that people in the second hand market can query before purchasing. For example, let’s say Joe Soap is a carpenter and has a toolbox full of valuable tools – he can register on the site, sign up to a monthly subscription plan and then create his online toolbox by uploading serial numbers and images of his tools. Let’s say Joe’s tools are stolen after this point.
Meanwhile John Doe is in the market for a second hand drill and comes across a bargain at a local market. He can query the ToolCheck database (for free) before he buys and if the tool is found on the database – this will raise a flag. In our example, if John finds a match on Joe’s tool – Joe will be alerted and if John chooses to – he can initiate an email conversation with him. Police can also use the database to identify suspicious tools.
Case Study – Amber Springs Hotel App
Technologies Used
Description
The Amber Springs Hotel is a 4 star luxury hotel located in the outskirts of Gorey Co. Wexford. Over 2020 we were delighted to team up with the hotel to work on a mobile app that needed to be as beautiful as it was functional.
The hotel has been a well known establishment in Gorey for over 20 years and is seen as one of the premier hotels in the region. They have an existing website with booking capability and they wanted to supplement this with an app on both IOS & Android platforms.
Case Study – Medoo.ie
Technologies Used
Description
Medoo.ie is the Irish flavour of a Hungarian fashion franchise owned by a Wicklow couple. They approached us in Q1 2020 with their ideas and asked if we could help them realise their dream. Of course this is exactly the kind of project that excites too so from day 1 we were a match made for each other.
In 2019, online sales figures in Ireland hit €2.2 billion. This is more that double the €1.05 billion figure from 2010. Furthermore current predictions are for that figure to hit almost €4 billion by 2024 so it’s fair to say that online sales are trending up. Fashion is the biggest online shopping segment in Ireland accounting for 29% of all online sales and this is the healthy market that Medoo Ireland want to enter.

Technologies Used

Wexford Low Energy Homes is a family run company based in the south east of Ireland. They specialise in the construction of low energy housing developments and in 2017 we worked with them to create websites for 2 of their latest developments – gleannanghairdin.com and arduisce.com.

Case Study – Glamourize.ie
Technologies Used
Description
Glamourize.ie is the brainchild of couple based in north Wexford who wanted to take their existing online presence to the next level. They specialise in ladies accessories and had been in business for a number of years with a well known online store platform. They felt the need to upgrade their existing store to look more visually appealing with a stronger brand – this is where they felt their existing solution was not strong enough.
If somebody is going to make an online purchase on your site – they need to have confidence. They need to trust your brand, your products and first impressions are so important. Off the shelf solutions E-Commerce are great for cost savings and speed to market. They are often very easy to set up, you don’t need a web developer, you don’t need seperate hosting and you don’t even need a domain name. However there are huge limitations with these systems – mainly around design and customer experience. One shop tends to look the same as all others and it’s hard to stand out from the crowd or put your own personal touch on the site to re-inforce your brand values.
Case Study – Valuation App
Technologies Used
Description
Kinsella Estates is an Estate Agents with offices in Gorey and Carnew. In 2017 they got in touch with us to see if we could improve their efficiency with some of their business processes – namely the property Valuations process.
For many reasons, homeowners will contact auctioneers to value their property. The auctioneer will inspect the property, take photo’s and create a report on the value of the property including details on location, number of rooms, condition of property etc. Typically the details are manually recorded during the inspection by filling out a paper based template with a pen. This information is then taken back to the office where the final report will be generated, photo’s added and emailed to the client.
Case Study – Fabric & Curtains
Technologies Used
Description
Fabricandcurtains.ie is a brand new innovative E-Commerce website and the online presence of Ni Faolain Design. The site went live in 2010 and is a completely bespoke solution built to the custom specification of the client.
The interesting thing about this project was the challenge of making it easy and intuitive to purchase custom products over the web. Unlike most items sold on the web, curtains and blinds are very personal items and customers need to specify many preferences in the buying process. Getting the customer order flow right was a major challenge in this project and in the paragraphs below we’ll describe how we achieved this.
