A screen shot of how a client can create their own web shop
De Budelse has installed Chili Publisher online document editing software after the company found it to be functional and flexible, with maximum freedom for its clients.
The company created a customer platform, BuDi (www.budionline.nl) that incorporates a web-shop to order products, a product generator based on Chili Publisher to design the products, and a logistic module to manage order processing, payment and distribution. With BuDi, the company offers its clients a highly flexible way of managing their order, creation, production, payment and delivery process.
The company puts a strong focus on the production of packaging, high volumes in small runs and ICT Services. ICT and process automation are crucial links between De Budelse and its clients, as this ensures the required versatility, flexibility and a short time-to-market.
Until recently, the ICT-department developed or reprogrammed most of the internal software. However, the company required a new software platform that would allow clients to do a lot themselves: design an own web-shop, by using the standards, and allow to work in the design program at each knowledge level – basic, experienced or professional.
‘Everything fell into place when we saw a demo of Chili Publisher. This editing software perfectly answered our requirements. We proceeded with further development and gradually delved deeper into the software, which offered many more possibilities than we originally thought,’ said Harry Mennen, account manager & senior buyer.
The software enables BuDi customers to manage all of their files and to design an own web-shop to market their products. ‘The software is like an open landscape, in which the user can build his own structures: divide the ‘landscape’ into separate lots and then designing every lot according to his own ideas,’ Mr Mennen explained. ‘It does not have any restrictions and that is precisely what makes it so appealing to the user. It plays a decisive role in the product generator of the BuDi-platform. Customers can incorporate their specific look and feel into the web-shop.’
