Database Applications

The Internet provides unprecedented opportunities for organisations to disseminate access to legacy systems, in-house database applications and published materials.

Box UK can take your macro-heavy spreadsheets, or printed catalogues and transform them into dynamic, versatile applications.

Recent project: Thomas Glover - Online Catalogue

With over 100 year's experience, Thomas Glover is the UK's leading supplier of fire protection products to the Independent Fire Trade.

The website is designed to provide a complete breakdown of the full range of products and offer a streamlined online ordering facility. The site development involved the following:

  • Re-versioning of printed catalogue, initially provided in Quark, and exporting it as XML.
  • Design of system architecture.
  • Development of administration area enabling the products to be automatically imported into the database.
  • Integration of account management system and online ordering facility.
