Daffodil Software worked with a tag and label manufacturer to add e-commerce functionality and a more robust label builder to an existing LAMP-based (PHP, MySQL, Drupal) CMS. The engagement included wireframing, prototyping, custom development, original graphic work, and some .NET-based automation, resulting in improved proofs, reduced cart abandonment, and increased customer confidence.

Project Solution

Daffodil assigned a project manager and a technical team (three individuals) to manage design, development, and original graphic work. They enhanced the client's label builder, implemented custom e-commerce features within a LAMP-based CMS (PHP, MySQL, Drupal), produced wireframes and prototypes, and automated a process using .NET. The engagement was delivered month-to-month and included ongoing support and coordination across time zones.
