Unifying Web software improving business communication & productivity

Overview

Gatelets is ScienceMedia's technology partner. We are responsible for helping ScienceMedia with all Web-related projects, including the current development of the ScienceMedia SMI Source application destined to release 2013. Gatelets worked with ScienceMedia to revamp their brand, identity, technology approach and overall positioning. This effort is in conjuntion with the efforts on the SMI Source application.

Solution

A highly responsive Web site with a clean, unique identity and clearer positioning. Our goal was to help ScienceMedia efficiently position the organization and products. We did not set out to produce a huge site with hundreds of pages, but rather focus on clear branding and the use of ScienceMedia's actual learning assets to showcase their brilliance.

Overview

Gatelets was asked to provide MOCET with a new corporate Web site with a focus on their new and exciting Communicator product. Communicator is a product specifically designed for the Apple iPad. MOCET was also looking for a system to provide customer support, warranty information, product updates and communication materials.

Solution

We have delivered a cutting-edge modern Web site rich with stunning product photographs and easy-to-use information. It only takes seconds to see and understand what Communicator is all about. We have also leveraged the Gatelets GCS product to deliver a state-of-the-art Customer Support Portal and Communication environment. Employees with sufficient access have the ability manage content, support customers, upload necessary product patches and much more.

Overview

Naughty Cow is the newest brand from Independent Distillers - chocolate milk for grown ups. In the classic ID style, they wanted something fun and a little 'out of the corporate norm'.

The site was designed by the talented group at The Medium.

Solution

The small site clearly depicts the new product. The site introduces the brand in a humorous way and enables users to search (with a Zip code) for stores stocking the new product. The results show the user how far the stores are from their given Zip code location. The site is developed using the latest version of Gatelets Denali.

Overview

Each year The Henry Wine Group holds 'Taste the World'. This September, HWG will be running the event in San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles. Henry Wine Group's Taste the World event brings wine suppliers, media and trade members from around the world to California. HWG approached Gatelets to develop a clean and unique registration & logistics system to support the event and help HWG effectively manage registrations.

Solution

Built using Gatelet's MVC Denali system, the TTW registration system enables people to quickly and easily learn about the event or sign up to attend. The system is very clean and is designed around registration usability. The environment also enables registered users to connect to social media (Twitter/Facebook) and share the event with others.

Behind the scenes, HWG is able to quickly manage who is attending the various events and deal with some of the registration logistics.

Overview

MyPurMist handheld steam inhaler provides soothing hot steam on demand. Just push the ON button for instant steam. No preparation, no waiting, no cleanup! The directed humidification (vapor) of MyPurMist brings warmth into the sinuses which thins mucus and makes breathing easier. The moisture in the mist helps to relieve symptoms by soothing irritated tissues in the nose and throat, calming coughs and reducing dryness. It is a very relaxing experience.

MyPurMist is sold via many channels including TV Commercials, Web Site, Amazon.com and various organizations. This implies orders for the product are coming from many sources and in many formats. The orders need to be centrally organized for shipping and tracking.

Gatelets was asked to build a central logistics system able to collect in-bound order payloads and enable employees to manage the shipments, warranty-handling and reporting on these goods. The entire system needed to be easy-to-use, support multiple vendor-types and work with Fedex and other peripheral software solutions.

Solution

Using the Gatelets Denali backbone, we had to work on various fronts to make Flow a reality. First we had to understand the data formats coming from outside vendors such as Amazon or the MyPurmist online shopping systems. Once this was done, we developed the VCD or "Vapore Central Database". Inbound data is massaged and various rules are applied to the content. The integrity of the payloads are checked and then the orders are loaded into the VCD. At this point the orders (each line in a transaction) are given unique VIDs (Vapore Identifiers) - from this point we can always pinpoint any order at any given point in the workflow. Orders are often associated with other items (the packaged order) and this is all automatically handled.

With a single click an employee can move new orders into a Shipping mode — from this point they can generate packing slips and all necessary Fedex Shipping Labels. It is at this point that the system generates the Fedex tracking numbers and users (those who ordered) are automatically notified about the shipping status and tracking numbers.

The system allows employees to track customer calls and process returns or warranty shipments. Gatelets continues to work on Flow and will be exposing powerful reporting and further core functionality.

Overview

Several folks (mainly non-hikers) wanted to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro summer 2011. Certainly some of this was for their own personal fun and experience. They were also raising awareness of the Maasai people in Africa and organizing funds to buy an ambulance for their region.

The group S.H.A.R.E (Sustainable Healthcare Assistance in Rural Environments) approached us to create a charitable site to support their marketing efforts and communication during the hike.

Solution

Using Denali, Gatelets quickly developed a communication and information site for the group. The site provides administrators with the ability to add/edit/delete content and manage blogs. The group also knew they would have a faint cell signal in Kenya — Gatelets developed a specific Denali module to support the ability for mobile/tablet devices with very faint signals to communicate with the servers back in the US. We created a very stripped-down user interface and a focused Denali Mobile Java interface to handle very specific communication with the servers and databases. By doing this, users could login via their iPhone/Blackberry and post news and images/media to the site.

Overview

Wonderful is a creative firm that helps clients connect with customers in lots of different ways from identity and collateral design to creative development of brand adverting campaigns. Wonderful does big things for small companies to help them grow up. And Wonderful does small but important things for big companies to help them continue the conversation with their customers... and find new ones.

Wonderful was looking for a new Web solution to showcase their work (and other people's work). The application had to be easy-to-use and enable anyone in Wonderful to add projects or content with absolute ease. Additionally, the application needed to replace their old Flash site — the intention is for the site to work on any device.

Solution

The site leverages the Denali 6 Gatelets Framework — the key is the "in-place" editing so that anyone with the correct access rights is able to manage content and projects. The system is ready to expose future functionality including file management, events, blogging and much more. The Denali 6 Java framework was extended with a specific Wonderful code-base to enable very specific and proprietary Wonderful content (rules and workflows) — this means the application is able to grow over time and meet very unique Wonderful demands.

The site has a very specific design and is implemented with clean, cross-browser CSS3. Various caching strategies take place behind the scenes to optimize the delivery of the projects and many images in the system.

Overview

Video enables companies to tell their stories in a whole new way. Something we have embraced with Matarozzi Pelsinger is showcasing people and projects using short video segments. Our intended goal is to continue bringing the employees, customers and projects to life in 1-5 minute video segments.

Solution

Gatelets has worked quickly with Matarozzi Pelsinger to create some affordable video stories and we will continue doing so in 2012. Leveraging Vimeo, we (or employees) can add new video segments and be assured they will be visible in HD on all platforms, browser and devices (Mobile). By using Vimeo or other video streaming sites like Youtube, you also do not burden your own system bandwidth. Additionally, these tools provide useful social and reporting capabilities.

Overview

Matarozzi/Pelsinger Builders was founded by Dan Matarozzi and Dan Pelsinger in 1986. They have since evolved from a small construction company to a larger, more disciplined organization. Throughout that evolution they have maintained a standard of teamwork, warranty service and proactive project management unmatched in the building industry. With expertise in residential and commercial construction, they specialize in all aspects of building from historical renovations, remodels, and retrofitting to unique ground-up projects. Their pledge to the highest standards of craftsmanship is matched by their longstanding commitment to sustainable building practices.

Solution

Matarozzi Pelsinger approached Gatelets to develop a new site with some important goals including: minimalist look and feel, greatly improved navigation, 100% managed by staff including adding media-rich photographs and project information, and the ability to add categorized news and interesting information.

The web site is built using Denali 5 - this gave us the ability to provide powerful in-place editing capabilities, user management and intelligent data caching features. Denali 5 provides the ability to create categorized news and blogs, load and resize images and more — it was therefore a process of creating systems to support the desired pages and workflows.

Overview

Gatelets has long been a Vertical software partner, building the company dealer/distributor portal
V-Connect, and various other Web solutions.

Gatelets teamed with our partner Wonderful to design, build and deploy this enterprise site for Vertical Communications.

Solution

The site is built using Denali5 with some specific (extensible) Vertical extensions. The site provides in-place editing capabilities, custom workflows and integration with the Vertical partner portal
V-Connect. The site is designed to work on all browsers, including iPad and iPhone - the system intelligently "changes" based on the OS.

This enterprise site is jam-packed with content and powerful tools such as the custom "ROI Calculator", categorized blogging & searching and a unique solution-to-case-study mapping system. Gatelets is 100% hosting the Vertical.com site and various other sites in their "ecosystem" - we provide 24/7 monitoring, support, reporting, security and backup services.

Overview

Gatelets developed the distributor-focused site Independent Distillers USA to support the impressive nation-wide growth of Independent Distillers. One product stands out - Twisted Shotz.

Independent Distillers asked us to deliver a funky, twisted user-centric site enabling users to find distributors by ZIP code proximity and the ability to have some fun creating their OWN shots.

Solution

Wow - what can we say? Gatelets has created a cool site enabling anyone to search (using ZIP code) for locations where to buy the amazing product AND the abilty for registered user to create new shot flavors. The functionality is pretty awesome. Users can visually create new shots on the fly. The site leverages CSS3 and HTML5 (that degrades nicely for various browsers) to provide a super-rich experience and does not have any dependencies on Adobe Flash ... meaning, this works on anything. Users can track their own shots, see what other people have addded and sometimes someone wins a shirt or even up to $1000... cool.

Overview

Elsevier Science's Reaxys is a unique web-based chemistry workflow solution which supports research and fuels discovery by integrating searches for reaction and substance data with synthesis planning and chemical sourcing.

Elsevier hired us to develop developer and user forums. The user forums are accessible from within the SaaS product.

Solution

When Elsevier asked us to work on this project, they wanted a super-clean and minimalistic Web interface to support the product. One of the key requirements was for the forum to support their unique (custom) authentication system and rules. The forum has to support users and groups within the product, however the forum does not live on the same system (Gatelets hosts the forums) and has to be astracted from any changes to the actual product. Leveraging Denali 4, Gatelets has developed a powerful MVC Web application.

Overview

Henry Wine Group asked Gatelets to help them replace an older static site and provide unique new functionality for their dealers and distributors.

Solution

We worked with a core team within Henry Wine Group (IT, Marketing and Sales) to understand the business objectives and key workflows required in a new site. Working with this team, Gatelets designed and developed a Denali-based site enabling some unique functionality including: in-place content management, portfolio searching, ability for dealers/distributors to search their inventories or see invoices, and ability for sales to create and market their own events.

Overview

The Green Wine Book is the only comprehensive guide to California's greenest wineries and vineyards. Fresh off the press, this first edition lists more than 120 green wineries as well as information and tips on understanding organic and Biodynamic wine.

Wonderful asked us to help them create a Web site for Celine Guillou.

Solution

Gatelets worked with Wonderful to create and deploy the new site. The site is intended to be fresh and very clean. The site is also designed to work on any online device including iPhone and iPad — it therefore 100% uses JavaScript for animation and scrollbars. The site was created using the Gatelets pre-cursor to Denali called "Clocktower" - this provides a secure MVC Java framework enabling Gatelets to provide rich functionality including content management, security and database access.
