Eurotech CD Database Case Study
|

Eurotech (export) Ltd are a leading distributor of electronic components
specialising in obsolete or hard to find items.
They have a web based stock search system but their South African office
identified the lack of reliable connectivity in the area meant that many South
African customers could not access the web based system.
The requirement was for a CD that would replicate the actions of the web
based system complete with shopping basket.
The database contains in excess of 1 Million lines which can be searched in
seconds producing a list of components best matching the users search
criteria.
These components can be added to a shopping basket building up a list which
can be automatically submitted by email directly to Eurotech as soon as network connectivity
is restored.
The CD has the ability to log onto Eurotech's servers here in the UK and
check for updates to the database. If updates are available then they system
downloads and installs them without the need for user interaction.
