CDP analysed, designed and developed the Colman's Mustard ColdFusion Shopping Cart for e-business company Red Banner
Product features
A very versatile shopping cart application that is designed to cater to the sales of any commodity on the Internet.
The web application features full-fledged stock management and administration capabilities. The application supports features such as low stock alerts, automated reordering via email, order processing and reporting.
Although the cart contains a configuration module that can be used to drop existing or add new banking software, the current working cart is fully configured to work with DATACASH banking software.
The Cart has an Administration module that saves the setting to a database. This content is then pulled from the database which enables the dynamic design of the website.
A salient feature of this product is the custom Cold Fusion tags written in C++ . This was done to enhance the performance of the application.
