Kunde:	Weber Bekleidung AG
Applikation:	Mode Weber
Technologie:	Python, web2py, Webservices, Android, iOS, PhoneGap, Interfaces, Apache

Mode Weber is the leading East Swiss fashion house for ladies and men's fashion. The family business with strong local roots was founded in 1919 by Ernst Weber and is now managed by the third generation. It has six Mode Weber branches as well as Esprit, Street One, Marc O'Polo Shops and a Nile Shop.

Today Mode Weber has a customer card, the so-called Webercard. As soon as purchases reach a total value of CHF 1,000, the customer receives CHF 50 in cash.

Mode Weber has commissioned soXes to pack the popular Webercard into a smartphone app for Android and iOS. The proven principle is very simple: All purchases are synchronized with the smartphone thanks to the connection to the merchandise management system. When the total amount of 1,000 francs is reached, the customer can create a credit note (cash bonus) for the cash payment of the 50 francs in the form of a QR code.  

Within the app, the user also has the option of viewing and changing his profile information at any time. The current account balance shows how much the customer still has to buy for in order to receive his Cash Bonus. The bonus received can then be activated and redeemed at any time on the app. The app also enables the fashion house to contact its customers at any time via push message and send them additional personalized bonus coupons.

To provide the app with the necessary data, soXes designed and implemented the backend of the app. The information is retrieved from Mode Weber ERM (merchandise management system) and made available via the app's interface. The backend provides additional functions such as bonus management, push message management, etc. and is only available to selected Mode Weber employees.

This project is based on the programming language Python and uses Apache as web server. In order to make optimal use of existing resources, reduce programming hours and save costs, soXes has used the open source framework web2py, which is itself written in Python. soXes uses open source technology wherever possible and reasonable.

Applikation:	MyPortaNet
Technologie:	Android, Angular, C#, C++, IOS, Mongo, MySQL, PHP, Python, Bluetooth, Bluetooth LE, Lora, Lorawan, Greylog, Microservices, Redis, Nginx, HTML5, Django, JSon

Together with our customer PortaNet AG from Emmen, we at soXes GmbH have developed a digitalized measuring and information system for windows, doors and gates. Now, windows and doors can be digitized very easily; with a complete cloud solution based on low-power/wide-area technology.

MyPortaNet automatically measures, controls and administrates the complete usage process with information, fault reports and maintenance activities. If a service is due or if a door is open which should be closed, the system automatically signals the status or service requirement. This digital measurement data thus helps companies (but also private individuals) in particular to better design their processes, provide targeted services for their customers, reduce costs and save time, optimize repairs and maintenance of doors and windows and, last but not least, increase security.

PortaNet recognized the pulse of time early on: The earlier you jump on the bandwagon of digitalization, the more interesting your own competitive advantages and those of your customers will be. Soon the idea and vision was there to automatically control and administer the complete usage process of doors and windows with information, fault reports and maintenance activities thanks to the new possibilities of IoT (Internet of Things). Because the Internet of Things opens up completely new possibilities and added value for users in this area as well. 

Possible areas of application are very diverse, for example:

Would you also like to use the IoT potential for your company within your industry?
Are you looking for successful developers to implement your IoT project?

We would be happy to support you in all aspects of the Internet of Things (IoT) and show you directly with further examples how you can digitalize your business processes. 

We at soXes look forward to many more success stories in the area of Internet of Things, where we can contribute our expertise and many years of experience in the design and development of IoT projects. Because we accompany our customers from the beginning to the successful implementation from A to Z.

Our experts and developers are there for you and will answer your questions in a non-binding discussion. Contact our consultants now at 055 253 00 53 or solutions@soxes.ch

 

Kunde:	Gertsch Consulting & Mode Vision AG
Applikation:	POD - Pattern on Demand
Technologie:	ASP.NET, Windows Applikation, Outsourcing

Gertsch Consulting und Mode Vision AG offers consulting and software for the clothing and fashion industry. This includes software for style development, the creation and editing of cuts as well as solutions for individualised tailor-made clothing. Since individualised made-to-measure clothing is currently one of the most important megatrends in the clothing and fashion industry, Gertsch Consulting und Mode Vision has commissioned the soXes GmbH team to help develop a solution in this area.

The aim was to develop an application for the acquisition of measurements for garments, which once acquired can then be automatically sent to a garment production company, where the corresponding garment is produced to measure. Gertsch Consulting and Mode Vision already had a software solution in use. Within the scope of this project, the task was to have soXes develop and improve the existing solution from scratch and make it web-capable.  

This successful cooperation resulted in the successful software solution POD - Pattern on Demand, which is used today in various clothing companies. Via the B2B2C-capable (Business to Business, Business to Consumer) webshop, the customer can act as a co-designer and individually create his or her fashion according to the offer of the supplier. For example, it is possible to design his individual shirt/blouse or suit/costume to measure. The customer sees by means of visualization what he changes, selects and how he designs the garment.
The platform provides a very extensive range of functionalities from which a supplier of individual fashion can choose. Fabrics, linings, contrasts, materials, embroideries and variants can be recorded and managed. In addition, the customer has the possibility to individually print the fabric. This includes the colour-controlled selection of brand logos, the upload of own images (e.g. club or company logos), as well as the generation of text images to mark an article with your own lettering. The integrated solution also offers the possibility to inform customers or retailers fully automatically about the progress of an order via e-mail templates. The status of the order is also logged in the web shop.

Thanks to this solution, Gertsch Consulting und Mode Vision AG can generate significant added value for its customers.
Because more and more companies nowadays want to offer customers the opportunity to help shape their personal clothing style as co-designers. This concept also breaks up the classic production and supply chains, as production and delivery is only done on demand. The POD solution takes these two circumstances into account.

 

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.

Technologie:	Python, Django, NGinx, MySQL, Angular, ag-grid, XML, React Native

The Electrical Engineering Department of the Canton of Zug Civil Engineering Office is responsible for the planning, construction, operation and maintenance of the operating and safety equipment (BSA) of the cantonal roads.

The electrotechnical operating and safety equipment (BSA) of the cantonal roads in the canton of Zug shall become smart.

All BSAs of the Canton of Zug, which are located on the cantonal roads or in technical premises, must be clearly identifiable by means of a plant identification system (ACS).

Already today, all BSA elements of the canton of Zug are clearly marked. However, the existing coding was no longer sufficient. In smartBSAzg, the BSA will receive an extended AKS coding.
The new AKS code is formed from 14 segments according to AKS-ZG+, which also allows the dynamic coding of data points.

soXes has received the order to develop a web-based BSA tool. In the smart BSA tool, all BSAs are to be inventoried. smartBSAzg contains the static master data, which can be dynamically synchronized with connected peripheral systems (UeKS and UeLS) via XML interface.

New and changed BSA data should be automatically synchronized with surrounding systems. An XML-based interface is to be built, which allows daily data synchronization with surrounding systems.

Within the scope of this project, soXes has also developed a mobile app that allows to read all captured BSA data by scanning the data matrix on the on-site BSA signs.

The newly implemented online shop facilitates the purchasing process of fastening materials, light as well as heavy construction machines and their accessories for builders. Several thousand products are available in the shop and linked to each other. Packages of, for example, construction machinery and accessories are designed to simplify the purchasing process for customers. The product structure was precisely adapted to the connected ERP in order to simplify the administration and accounting processes. In addition, it is possible for customers to create a company account with admins. The admins are able to add further users and manage their rights. User rights include which products can be purchased, spending limits or available means of payment.

The modernised shop offers EFCO customers an improved shopping experience with sophisticated filter options, account options and a cleanly structured product range. In addition, the previously incorrectly implemented connection to the company's own ERP was revised and improved. Thanks to the modernisation, EFCO's online shop is once again efficient and competitive.
