Management Console Consolidation Project
FY 2020-21 · 2020-07-01
Summary
Ackroo acquired multiple competitor and non competitor companies and their products and technology in the gift and rewards and marketing industry in Canada. With this, some technology assets come with web console components. Ackroo already has its legacy original Program Console web application used by its clients, the merchant, to manage their rewards and gift program online and their customer base and a Virtual Terminal (VT) web application that is used for processing transactions for any internet and web browser enabled devices. As such, Ackroo wants to consolidate these management web consoles into a single web application that offers tools for program setup, customer and transaction lookup, a marketing/communication hub, and VT.

Description (French)
Ackroo a acquis de nombreuses entreprises concurrentes et non concurrentes ainsi que leurs produits et technologies dans le secteur des cadeaux et récompenses et du marketing au Canada. Avec ces acquisitions, certains actifs technologiques sont accompagnés de composantes de consoles Web. Ackroo dispose déjà de son application Web originale Program Console utilisée par ses clients, le commerçant, pour gérer leur programme de récompenses et de cadeaux en ligne et leur clientèle, ainsi que d'une application Web Virtual Terminal (VT), qui est utilisée pour traiter les transactions pour tout appareil compatible avec Internet et les navigateurs Web. Ackroo souhaite donc consolider ces consoles Web de gestion en une seule application Web qui offre des outils pour la configuration du programme, la recherche de clients et de transactions, un centre de marketing/communications et un VT.
