RFP Proposals

Excel Engenineering was looking for a way for its project managers to generate their own RFP proposals online without assistance from marketing and having to know photoshop.  They created a custom RFP solution that is wizard driven asking key questions to build an RFP.  Marketing uploaded all the images for selection in their RFP.  When done, they can create a PDF suitable for delivery to a client. 

• New / Edit RFP proposals
• RFP wizard to build RFP proposal
  • Cover page
  • Table of contents
  • Firm profile
  • PDF library (Exhibit, Firm profile, Project Lists, Billing Rates, SOQ's)
• Organizational chart based on team members
• Client References
• Fee proposals
• Custom build your own page
• PDF stitching tool for a professional output

Custom Logoware Store

After outsourcing the Excel logoware store to a third party and running into issues with orders and payments, Excel decided to build a custome web application.  The logoware store is available to Excel employees via the Excel web site where they can select from many clothing choices, colors, size and logos.  After they add to cart, the payment is tied to PayPal where the employee checks out.  Accounting receives the money, marketing exports the order and sends it off to a vendor for fullfillment.
