Lionsorbet came to us with a problem. Their business was expanding, which is great, but their existing CRM/Stock tracking system wasn’t good enough to scale up to the task. So we reviewed their workflow and custom made a web app that fits right into it.

By replacing a bunch of rusty old excel documents with a shiny new CRM site we have made life easier for all involved. Lionsorbet staff now have a centralised and easy to use product database that shows them clearly who’s bought what. And their clients can log in and see what they have bought, and can purchase what they haven’t.

Because the system was built just for Lionsorbet it has everything they need and nothing more. It’s easy to use, saves time, makes them look good and it allows for business growth to continue unchecked.

Interested in something like this for your business? Give us a call on 01604 779045.

Funded by SCiNet, EMDA and the European Regional Development Fund SHINE TRUE brought together academics and creatives to evaluate how people use sustainable technologies that are made available to them.

Toru Interactive collaborated with universities and businesses from the East Midlands. We produced an online e-learning program for residents of Upton, an urban extension to west Northampton with over a thousand new homes, all of which meeting high environmental sustainability standards.

BACA Digital Catalogue

BACA are one of the UK’s leading suppliers of workwear and workplace products. We were called on to create a digital version of their printed catalogue, which contains over 10,000 products. We used Flash to create an app that is easy to get around, fully searchable, and last but not least contains a realistic page-turning effect for those who miss the real thing!
