Projects Overview - DotNet

A sample of some systems Unity has built using .Net 

• A promotional and marketing system to enable Somerfield’s suppliers to set up and track investments. This system was built on the Microsoft Enterprise Library and interfaced closely with Microsoft Exchange and Office.
• An in-store Kiosk application to enable customers of a major supermarket to use a Home Delivery service from Wincanton. This was an ASP.NET application, which used OPOS to interface with the Kiosk card-reader and receipt printer, with a VB.Net back office application.
• A reverse logistics application for Wincanton used to collect and track Flymo stock returns. The system coordinated Windows CE software on the warehouse hand-held terminals with central back office functions and feeds from third party systems. This project also used Windows Workflow Foundation for data loading, and log4net for audit.
• A risk management and audit system for Orange Group’s global Fraud and Revenue Assurance department. This was a distributed system, capable of working both online for central planning, and offline for on-site audits.
• A real-time, web based marketing application used by call centre staff at Vodafone.
• We regularly build in-house tools, and often use these as a test bed for new technologies. Some of these tools go on to be marketed commercially. An example of this is Timebox Manager (www.timeboxmanager.com), a fully functional DSDM project management desktop application designed to replace or augment MS Project for Agile projects. This has been designed around the look and feel of Office 2007, and interfaces closely with the MS Office suite. The database is built around NHibernate and SQLite for easy interoperability and extension.
