XConcept is an extraordinary concept to bring old images back to life through image retouching. The business is a team of independent graphic designers who have extensive experience in the art of image retouching.

Through the website, customers can place orders online. These orders are then converted into work orders and allocated to the graphic designers.

The software needs to keep track of payments from customers, images, work status, earnings of the graphic artists and the like.

Seamlessly integrated e-commerce and work order management

The business ideas were discussed and translated into a specification of a website that would generate revenue and sustain the client’s business. Customers are purchasing work using credits.

The credits can be managed and replenished easily by the user; they are guided to the payment gateway when required.

At the front end, a simple e-commerce module was implemented allowing new users to buy credits and submit work orders without effort.

User-friendliness is, as usual, a key to success: staff too, can quickly grab orders and submit the completed work.

The web application was developed using PHP and MySQL.

The administrator has got access to several reports telling him, for example, how many orders have been placed, the turnover, how long it times to complete an order, and the most active and best performing graphic artists.

Benefits of the custom web application

The work order management system minimizes the administrative burden that the client was faced with earlier.

The client is able to source the best graphic artists from anywhere in the world and also market their services to a global audience, thereby increasing their profits.
