Fyfe Group


Application: Insurance Web Applications

Steve Arrowsmith (Group ICT Manager) and Paul Inskip (Managing Director): When Fyfe Group set out to provide Web-based insurance management facilities for its Agents and end user customers we selected Discover IT as our development partner. Discover IT had helped us establish our Internet presence and we were impressed with their project management and control skills, their ability to deliver effective solutions with measurable benefits, and to provide a real return on investment. The first project was www.monthlymotortrade.com, a "full cycle" monthly motor trade system for motor traders.  We required a system that could handle all aspects of:

  • insurance quotations
  • policies issue
  • mid-term adjustments
  • renewals processing
  • cancellations processing
  • automated payments processing using Barclays ePDQ
  • documents issue . . . downloadable AND via email
  • interface with the Fyfe Group accounting system
  • compliance management.

As the policy term is monthly, renewals are processed automatically at the start of each month, preceded by automatically emailed renewal reminders sent 7 days in advance.

All users are automatically assigned secure personal logins that allow them to process adjustments, download certificates, add and delete vehicles, and cancel policies. Continuous availability is vital to its success and Discover IT hosts, maintains and backs up  the application for us. They have achieved substantially better than 99.9% uptime.

The application uses the Microsoft .Net Framework and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 to implement the User Interface, the Business Logic and the Data Storage and Access. dynamicPDF is used for generating documents. Web Services are employed to access postcode and car registration lookups. And it all works over the Internet.

Overall, we are very pleased with the well-tailored bespoke systems that have been delivered at a significantly lower price than that for which we could source a more generalised application that would not suit our purpose so well. Discover IT has worked effectively and closely with us to get the specifications and application architectures exactly right for our requirements.


Fishing Tackle Store Ltd


Application: Web Store

R. Hine, Managing Director, Fishing Tackle Store Ltd:
"When planning my web store, the most important criteria were that it should be:

  • easy to use
  • uncluttered
  • easy for customers to find the products they require
  • easy for them to find the shopping basket and shipping charges
  • easy for us to add, edit and remove products.

Discover IT worked with me to plan and construct the store which I am happy to say, fulfill all those criteria. It is very easy to add new products and I was impressed by the flexibility of the software to handle complex product variants such as multiple colours and sizes, etc, with different prices, images and shipping weights.

Discover IT provided a focused approach and the store was delivered on time and on budget."
