Requesting maintenance online

By automating the processes involved, it takes less time for clients to order new products. For example, clients can schedule the delivery of spare components and specify the location where they need the products, which ensures these components are delivered to the right location on time. If a client needs more information about installations, they can download the relevant PDF file directly from the website.

Off to a great start with Sylius

A custom open-source e-commerce platform Sylius was used to realise the optimisation of the order process. This platform runs on Symfony, a framework based on PHP. With Brandcode, we can develop fast and reliable tailor-made web applications.

These offer the client more flexibility and significant cost savings. Furthermore, we can test, debug and document everything in detail before going live. We can configure the framework entirely according to preference. Other benefits of Symfony include the speed, reliability and security of the platform.

Scalable cloud environment

The server runs on a scalable cloud environment. Once the number of website visitors hits a peak, the server automatically scales up accordingly. If the number of visitors is lower, the server scales down. This ensures the server is utilised efficiently and it eliminates downtime.

Producing live music

The new instrument has a central position on the stand. It omits various sounds, much like it could be used to create a song. From this flowed the idea to install a beat machine: people who visited the stand were able to make live music. A DJ was present all week to help the visitors with the creative process. The visitors could send the musical end result to their e-mail address to listen again later. The sound was turned up just right, attracting lots of attention.

A healthy, clean and safe world

Possibilities are endless thanks to digital content and touch screens. The interactive aspect draws many visitors every year. Brandcode is convinced everyone benefits, especially within the context of Thermo Fischer’s valuable mission: enabling clients to make the world a healthier, cleaner and safer place.

Recognisable look and ambiance

The stand turned out excellent. Brandcode developed the graphics, a trade show tote in the shape of a vinyl, branding, banners, creative goodies, interactive media and other associated communication resources. Every single item supported the concept, lending a great recognisable uniformity across the entire trade show.

Motivational and valuable information

The exams are presented in the form of a series of multiple-choice questions. Afterwards, the results are available instantly. Who achieved the highest score? Employees enjoy the competitive aspect of it, while valuable information is collected at the management level. Management can review the teams’ results per theme and per question. If the scores for a specific theme fail to meet expectations, management can e.g. decide to offer additional training or workshops.

Agile collaboration with the client

Using the agile method, we started with a design sprint. We developed a clear product vision and built an initial prototype. After testing and refining the prototype, an extensive list of user stories was put on the backlog. Next, we began prioritising the things that the initial MVP (Minimum Viable Product) would need.

The client was closely involved in this project. Everything was conceived beforehand, tested and optimised. We quickly developed a suitable foundation to build on. The app is user-friendly and accessible and has an intuitive design and a modern appearance.

Improved quality policy with the ACD knowledge app

At the moment, we are constantly conducting maintenance and rolling out security updates. In the near future, the app’s development will continue and new features such as push notifications will be added. This will make it even easier to inform and stimulate employees. With the help of the ACD knowledge app, the national government is well on its way towards an improved quality policy.

Photoshoot at well-known locations in The Hague

The day of the shoot: our colleague motorcyclist wears a black waistcoat, jeans, retro helmet and huge aviators. In short: a matching, dandy look. Our photographer captured the perfect images at well-known locations in The Hague – with a political twist, of course.

Thanks to the varying locations, the organisation was able to achieve 12 suitable images for the monthly blog in just one day, all to engage the readers in the world of lobbying in political The Hague.

Do the hack-check

The laatjeautoniethacken.nl website features a simple test for car owners to check whether your specific model is susceptible to hacking. If yes, you can take appropriate action immediately: our programmers have incorporated a database that checks the details provided. If required, the customer can be referred to a company that specialises in car security.

A great success

We realised a total campaign consisting of a campaign style, video, text, website, leaflet material and a billboard campaign. The campaign achieved results that completely exceeded expectations. The hack-check turned out to be an amazing crowd-puller, resulting in 60,000 hack-checks. The campaign was developed and produced entirely in-house, ensuring rapid adaptability, short lines and optimised results.

Presenting designs

The management team was included in the design process at an early stage. After gathering a broad array of designs, we started funnelling ideas. The resulting designs were presented to the marketing department in the Netherlands and abroad. It is important to get everyone singing from the same hymn sheet when working on change projects. Eventually, a final style and new logo were selected that still included the beaver.

Clearly defined global image

Brandcode rolled all manner of items in the new style, for each country – even China. We used an online portal with a house-style handbook full of basic elements and templates. The handbook contains all guidelines for design and layout. Every country uses the elements, ensuring Kiwa exudes a unified look across the world, Evoking tremendous image recognition and familiarity among the target group.

The Feedback App

Before, team members would just tell each other ‘you’re doing a good job’ or ‘maybe you could do this better’; often incomplete comments that did not yield the best results for the learning process. The new application prevents the above. Now feedback can be provided in a specific and efficient manner.

The Feedback App is available on Android and Apple in a Cross Platform Framework. This means the app only has to be developed once to work on both systems, saving money on development and maintenance costs in the long term. The VUMC is also able to manage and structure the app entirely independently, by way of an online control environment. The application is fast, simple and secure.

Improving medical care

The success of the app has meant that other departments within the hospital have also started working with the Feedback App. Brandcode continues to play an active role in optimisation of the app, together with the VUMC. Brandcode is proud that the application of this e-health technology contributes to the improvement of medical care.

Writing
SEO web texts

As soon as the menu structure is finalised in consultation with the client, our web builders start the engines. In the meantime, our SEO copywriter gathers the right information through interviews and a tour of the company. We also carry out keyword research to ascertain the exact search terms that are relevant to WIBU, to ensure the findability of the website, more traffic and a higher chance of conversion.

Easy to find in Google

The WIBU website is easy to find in Google with the keywords important to the company, thanks to SEO optimisation. In addition, the website is now clear and uncluttered, fast, mobile-friendly and secure. In short: it meets today’s requirements.

Report your damage

Ease of use to the nth degree: report your damage. Take a photo of the damage to your car and send it to WIBU via their website. The experts will assess the damage and give you the right advice.

Professional photography

A photoshoot at WIBU has added a polished look to the website. Professional images adorn each page of the website, perfectly complementing the look & feel of the website and the image of the company. There are plenty of images still available for upcoming news items or blogs, creating consistency in new publications.

Customisation for each apartment

Example: one of the services on offer by James® is a floor service. A few clicks and the resident is provided with a bespoke flooring quotation for one or more rooms in his or her apartment. To make this seemingly simple service possible, we needed to clear some complex technical hurdles,

because the application contains all measurements of all rooms and apartments in a building. The occupant logs in, James® has the details of the relevant apartment and uses the home’s specific measurements to provide an immediate quotation straight from the flooring company. In short: genuine customisation for each apartment.

From edit to
live direction

After the clip was showcased, the street artists entered the new building one by one. Their acrobatic skills created the right ambiance and experience immediately. Video direction took over a live feed from the presented clip and at the same time, the artist pressed a button, Beaming the artist with the iconic building in the background directly to the large screen. The skyline came into focus.

Opening by
the mayor

After all the artists had arrived, the skyline was almost complete: time for the director of Coca-Cola and the mayor to enter the stage. It was their turn to press the special button. This button was situated on a pillar designed by us, with a large Coca-Cola bottle inside. The last manoeuvre placed the iconic Coca-Cola bottle in the skyline, among the icons of Rotterdam. Dr2 had devised and organised various activities in the building for after the official opening. Brandcode looked after suitable signs to complement these activities.

Cold Coke!

Beforehand, we criss-crossed Rotterdam for stunning recordings with urban artists to provide the live feed during the show. The video was part of the official opening of the new premises. As well as the concept, we also looked after the recordings, editing, stage design and the LED screen content, and signage. Time for a delicious cold Coke!
