What does GDPR mean?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union regulation that harmonises the rules for processing personal data by most data processors across the EU. The GDPR applies to any processing of personal data, in the European Union area. It does not apply to activities which fall outside the scope of Union law or to activities carried out exclusively on a personal or family basis.

 

Why is the GDPR important for companies?

Contrary to the assumption that Swiss companies are not affected by the General Data Protection Regulation, many Swiss companies fall within the scope of the GDPR even if they are not established in the EU. For example, national websites that also mention their prices in euros or delivery and payment conditions for EU citizens are already affected by the regulations. A service hotline in the EU or the analysis of the surfing behaviour of EU citizens are also examples of the regulation coming into force. For this reason, soXes follows the GDPR exactly when creating websites and webshops in order to avoid sanctions for the end customer. We work closely with our partner Reichlin Hess AG, a renowned law firm in Zug. Reichlin Hess has proven specialists in the area of data protection regulation. This enables soXes to provide its clients with comprehensive advice on both a technical and legal level and to issue individual instructions for action.

Diocese of St. Gallen
Kunde: Diocese of St. Gallen
Applikation: Diocese of St. Gallen
Technologie: ASP.NET, Java Script

The diocese of St.Gallen, which has existed since 1847, is one of six dioceses in Switzerland. The territory of the diocese comprises the cantons of St.Gallen, Appenzell Innerrhoden and Appenzell Ausserrhoden. The central task of the diocese of St.Gallen is the pastoral care of the people and that the Catholic Church thrives and remains alive in the more than 142 parishes.

The personnel data of the Diocese of St.Gallen used to be managed in a simple Access application. Within the scope of this project, soXes was commissioned by the Diocese of St.Gallen to create a software solution that would allow the user-friendly collection and management of data from internal, external and freelance employees.

For this purpose, soXes developed a new web-based solution based on ASP.NET and Java Script. Thanks to the new application, a simpler, faster and more sustainable use of the personnel data within the Diocese of St.Gallen is made possible. Duplications can be eliminated and the technical basis can be raised to a modern level. Within the application different functions (e.g. chaplain) can be assigned to a person and this person can be assigned to one or more organizational units (e.g. parishes). Furthermore, clever filter functions allow users to create analysis lists and simple reports themselves. The application also offers the possibility to export data for an Outlook import or a file readable for Adobe InDesign.

Today's solution has significantly simplified the work with personnel data for the Diocese of St.Gallen. Because the personnel database is stored centrally, users can access it from different locations. Thanks to the different user rights, usage can be controlled in detail. Based on this new solution, the diocese now creates the printable version of the personnel directory with little additional effort on the part of the graphic designer.

Carletto
Kunde: Carletto AG
Applikation: Carletto
Technologie: Magento, Interface to Proffix ERP

Carletto AG, based in Wädenswil, supplies the specialist shops with excellent products and concepts for a successful toy trade. Thanks to the new web shop, their customers can order the entire product range conveniently online. soXes was allowed to take over the technical conception and development of this Magento shop within the framework of this exciting project.

This B2B web shop does not only include standard functions such as extended search or filter functions resp. watch lists or change of the display format in the shop but also a number of attractive special functions: Thanks to the instant order function, retailers can import their order as an xls file and thus automatically generate a filled shopping cart. In addition, field staff or specialist dealers can create customised article sheets or generate quick catalogues according to their selection via the web shop. In addition to all these functions, this shop offers a comprehensive image download in various image formats and resolutions as well as a download of price lists and entire data sets.

In this project, soXes was able to bring its own broad IT experience and expertise in the Magento area to bear in a targeted manner and successfully and sustainably implement a further project.

Lucullus
Kunde: Lucullus SA
Applikation: Lucullus
Technologie: Magento Shop, SASS, Joomla

Lucullus SA, based in Stans, is a successful wine trading company known among connoisseurs, specialising in rarities and top wines. Lucullus has a webshop, which is primarily used by wine dealers. In 2010 soXes was allowed to carry out the technical implantation of the new Lucullus website - based on Magento Commerce. Since then, soXes has continuously maintained and expanded the Lucullus webshop.

Clear filter functions simplify the search within the Lucullus webshop. Alternatively the full text search makes it easier to find the wine you are looking for. The Lucullus webpage has been technically optimized by soXes in such a way that search results (even with more than 3'000 records) are listed within seconds. Short response times are of great importance at Lucullus.ch, as it is primarily wine merchants who use the webshop.
soXes has also expanded the shop with a specially developed direct import function. With this function, over 3,700 wines can be imported directly into the database in just a few minutes. The time-consuming procedure of Magento Commerce via Entity Attribute Value Model, according to which each record is transferred individually to the database, could thus be avoided. The direct import developed by soXes is directly linked to Magento Commerce. This means that the user can simply start the import directly via the Magento interface.

In this project, soXes was able to adapt the Magento application to meet the high demands of the customer. soXes showed the customer ideas and ways to technically optimize the web shop.

SVBA App

Kunde: SVBA Schweiz. Association of vocational school teachers for automotive engineering
Applikation: SVBA App
Technologie: Association of vocational school teachers for automotive engineering

The Swiss Association of Vocational School Teachers for Automotive Engineering (SVBA) aims to develop, coordinate and evaluate curricula, material programs and teaching materials. In addition, it organises and conducts specialist and vocational training courses and organises specialist conferences, excursions and study trips.

In order to support students in learning to become an automotive assistant or automotive specialist, the well-known learning cards for the Swiss automotive professions have been available for many years. SVBA has commissioned soXes to bring these proven cards into a digital version as an app. The cards are clearly structured in topics and according to educational objectives. Thanks to detailed illustrations, learning is supported and simplified. Practicing with the maps and more than 1800 questions is effective and efficient and thanks to the app, it can be used anywhere. Any topic can be selected and the cards can be queried in random order. Depending on how often the questions have been answered correctly, they are stored in a different container until they are no longer (or only after activation) queried. An examination function tests the students with 50 random cards. 

In this project, the challenge was to develop the app in such a way that large amounts of data are not a problem. However, the illustrations should still be available in very good resolution and zoomable down to the smallest detail. In addition, the customer wanted to be able to adapt the flashcards easily and independently at any time. Moreover, there was only a very limited budget available for the development. 

All these requirements were successfully implemented by soXes in a great product and soXes has won a loyal and satisfied customer.
