Roundedcube has worked with CCA on countless projects including brand micro-sites, corporate website, consumer web applications, retail partner extranets, enterprise business apps, online promotions, and more. Some of the more notable and recent projects are described below.
Room and Flooring Visualization
Home Emagination, developed for Flooring America, is an online flooring visualization tool that allows users to choose a room photo and apply various flooring products to see how particular products may look in their house. Home Emagination interface uses Flash for the room decorating process as well as for searching products. It allows users to choose different wall colors and save the room scene as well. In addition, users can upload and use their very own room photos.
To accomplish this, Roundedcube completely design and developed the website using various technologies that all communicated together – Flash, ASP.NET, Shockwave, and Web Services while data is pulled from the Flooring America's proprietary PIMS. The result was a stunning online tool that Flooring America stores also use in kiosks to help customers visualize and determine which flooring product to purchase.
Product Gateway is a web-based product information management system (PIMS) that maintains accurate and timely product data on over seven million SKU numbers. The application provides both free and paid access that provides CCA’s members with product data, product comparisons, ability to download product data to their store’s Point-of-Sale (POS) system, alert buyers to issues, customize various user-level views of data, and other advance search capabilities.
This was an enormous undertaking as this web application now serves as part of the backbone of CCA's operations servicing retail stores across the globe.
Due to the immense amount of data involved, database modeling was key to the foundation of this custom .NET application. AJAX was also utilized to create this Rich Internet Application (RIA). The app also includes an administration UI for maintenance and impersonation capabilities for troubleshooting making this application very self-sufficient.
