Harcourt Industries, Inc. (Milroy, IN) has been serving schools since 1956. The company manufactures and sells over 70,000,000 wood case pencils, agenda books and school supplies to over 14,000 elementary, middle, and high schools across the United States. Harcourt Industries, Inc. is also in the political campaign supply market. Harcourt's niche that ties all these markets together is quality customized products.
OBJECTIVE
Harcourt Industries, Inc. needed a way to generate sales through the significantly high potential of e-commerce in order to promote their wide variety of customizable products to schools, businesses and individauls. To facilitate each market an e-commerce identity was needed.
SOLUTION
A ColdFusion solution coupled with a MySQL database was implemented to display products in an organized fashion. A shopping cart and checkout process was also created. In addition, a content management system (CMS) was created to keep customer, products and pricing information all current. The portal page (top right) concept that shows each website address and a brief decription was developed for an easy access point for our customers. It was also created to reduce costs and to establish a central custom order process area that each site is directed to for checkout.
