Summary

A global provider of a web-based platform for closed, internet-based reverse auctions and RFx needed to modernize its B2B eAuction application, which ran on an outdated ASP platform that no longer met customer needs. INNERLUXES converted the application to ASP.NET, extended it with new functionality, and added Asian-language support — delivering a far more scalable, comprehensive, and user-friendly product.

About the Client

The Client is a global provider of a user-friendly, web-based platform for closed internet-based reverse auctions and RFx for professional buyers in large companies.

The Challenge

The eAuction application is a B2B solution intended to automate internal procedures and create efficiency in searching for suppliers of different goods and services with the best proposals — taking into account proposal terms, supplier characteristics, and more. The tool was implemented on the ASP platform, which no longer satisfied customer needs. A new platform was required to make it more flexible, and the Client also wanted to extend and add new functionality to make the application more competitive.

The Solution

INNERLUXES suggested converting the application to ASP.NET, which supports design/code separation and the use of test-driven development. After the successful revamp, INNERLUXES implemented new RFx functionality and questionnaire features that let the Client measure customer experiences based on the provided answers. To support the Client's internationalization and global marketing strategies, INNERLUXES introduced application support across a group of Asian languages.

The Client now offers an automated eAuction application that is far more scalable, comprehensive, and user-friendly than the previous tool.

The Results

  • The application was successfully migrated from the outdated ASP platform to ASP.NET, enabling design/code separation and test-driven development.
  • New RFx and questionnaire functionality lets the Client measure customer experiences from provided answers.
  • Asian-language support advanced the Client's internationalization and global marketing strategies.
