Project Summary

Existek augmented the client's internal development resources to design and implement a web-based .NET loyalty card solution for a café franchise that includes QR code production, scanning, and tracing. They produced a scope document covering hardware constraints and performance needs, developed and deployed the solution using image-processing libraries and .NET, and provided ongoing updates. The delivered system was highly reliable, low maintenance, processed thousands of loyalty cards, and was well received by the owner and customers.

Key Challenges

Need for .NET developers experienced in imaging and real-time QR code processing
Requirement to support and integrate with existing hardware and its limitations
Need for an easy-to-use system for nontechnical users enabling loyalty card production and reliable scanning/tracing
Coordination and testing with the client's internal project manager and developer on client hardware

Project Deliverables

Web-based loyalty card production system
QR code scanning and tracing functionality
Production deployment of .NET code
Scope document covering existing hardware, limitations, and performance requirements
Ongoing updates and bug fixes / added functionalities

Project Solution

Existek designed and implemented an easy-to-use web-based loyalty card system for nontechnical users that supported production, scanning, and tracing of QR-coded loyalty cards. They produced a scope document covering existing hardware, limitations, speed and versatility requirements, developed the application using image-processing libraries and .NET, worked with the client's internal team, deployed the code to production, and provided ongoing updates and new functionality in response to bug reports and requests. Two people from Existek staffed the engagement.
