YourDoc Medical

YourDoc Medical are a start-up medical screening company that needed a bespoke website to promote their business to corporate and private clients, provide automated services such as online booking and shopping, and link to other websites for secure access to medical questionnaires and records. Whilst at Jumpstart we built YourDoc Medical a website that combined elements of secure functionality for patients and doctors with general public access to health-related resources, professional profiles and company information. We incorporated secure password-protected access to screening-related external sites, and created a simple shopping cart process for the online shop.

Independent Pilots Association (CRM)

The Independent Pilots Association is a Professional Association that was formed and is managed by Flight Crew. The Independent Pilots Federation is a registered trade union and offer employment assistance to all pilots who join their membership, from help in compiling CVs, to assistance in securing a job through their many diverse contacts.

Within the CRM project, IPAs brief was to replace their 10 year old user management software (written in VB), decrypt a pre-existing excrypted legacy Access database and migrate their customer data over to a new RDBMS. We were also tasked with developing a migration plan to facilitate a smooth cutover of operations during launch.

The new Customer Relationship Management (CRM) web application itself was written in PHP with CakePHP. I developed a front end template design with JSON/REST Interfaces to communicate with the backend CRM application. Many bespoke DHTML/Javascript elements (dual sliders, jQuery DatePicker etc) were also developed to facilitate the IPAs requirements. Some features included: CRUD based customer function (create, read, update, delete), Saved searches, Generation of monthly direct debit CSV datafiles to banks, Email lists to members, Dynamic search fields (approx 30), Exportable search results, Integration with Sagepay + members areas / member login access, Document Repositories and more.

Raring2go! specialise in finding events and attractions for families. They also offer discount vouchers, guides and cooking recipies amongst much more. The Raring2go! franchise also is made up with over 60+ local Editors around the country producing magazines published specifically for their local areas. The challenge was to develop a website to allow location based searches for events and attractions, and for users of the site to be able to localise their site content to just the articles created by their local editor.

Whilst at Jumpstart I developed a site that provided location based search, CMS access for 60+ regular content editors across multiple access tiers, and a CRM system managing local content editors, site members, listings and event calendars.
