New e-commerce solution a break-through for mail-order fulfillment company
Baltimore, Maryland - July 27, 2009 - Custom software application and web solution
developer Co-OpTek IT Solutions completed an e-commerce solution for
Assemblers, Inc., an international contract packaging, assembly,
mailing and fulfillment company based in Sterling, Virginia.
Because Assemblers manages inventory, packaging and mailing services
for some high volume consumer products companies, there was a growing
demand for real-time ordering, inventory management and reporting over
the Internet. The process of communicating inventory counts, taking
orders and fulfilling shipping requests was manual and often involved
sending faxes and emails. As the Company grew and added more customers,
the cumbersome manual processes increased the cost of doing business.
"We needed a way to not only do more with less but also make it
easier for our international customers to do business with us,"
says Nasr Chaudhry, CEO of Assemblers. "We knew we needed to set
up an e-commerce platform to help manage our growth but we had no idea
how to do it or an unlimited budget, which is why we turned to Co-Op
Tek."
Chaudhry had heard favorable reports about Co-OpTek's ability to create
innovative custom software and web interface applications while
adhering to strict time deadlines. "I had to have somebody who
would understand my exact needs, almost read my mind, to create the
result I wanted," Chaudhry says. "Co-OpTek really listened to
me, and what's more, understood how I wanted to run my business."
"The project was a particular challenge because there was no easy way
to set up a web interface for the inventory database used by
Assemblers," admits Co-OpTek's Paul Phillips. "Custom web
interfaces are a specialty of ours, so after some initial research and
design drafts, we discovered a way to utilize C# and ASP.NET to quickly
and efficiently set up the links between the SQL database and
Assemblers' website."
"The team at Co-OpTek created the exact web interface solution my
customers needed to check their inventory levels, place orders and view
key reports, and they completed it quickly and under budget,"
Chaudhry enthuses. "I would strongly recommend Co-OpTek for any
custom software design projects or web applications given their
professionalism, ability to work fast and accomplish exactly what a
customer needs."
