CompuWork has developed solutions for many organizations and in diverse sectors
of the economy, including: Healthcare, Law Enforcement, Financial Services,
Hydro and Utilities, Government, Inventory Management Services and Property
Development. The following Project Profiles provide some idea of our
development skills.
Although Lululemon has a very competent IT department, they call upon CompuWork
from time to time to assist when additional resources and specialized skills are
required. CompuWork provides database
administration services, and developed management reporting applications, coding
the complex database queries that underly many such reports. CompuWork has also
devised and implemented various data exchange interfaces with several suppliers.
City of Bellingham- Police Department
All police reports in the city find their way into this extensive database by
way of a user interface so easy to use that most officers now enter their own
reports, thus relieving the records department of an onerous burden and
increasing the overall productivity of the department. The rich information
store provides the basis for crime statistics reporting, and combined with a
powerful querying interface, serves as a valuable investigative tool.

University of BC - Department of
Medical Microbiology - Virology Reference Lab
The hundreds of specimens that flow through this lab daily are labeled, routed
and tracked using a client-server application, the Windows successor to an
earlier DOS app, also developed by CompuWork. In addition to its
operational role, the database
also provides a deep data mine for research. This system is a good example of integration - it
interfaces with several other agencies to deliver test results directly into their systems, using a variety of technologies.
WIS International
In a partnership spanning more than 2 decades, CompuWork has developed 8 applications
for this international leader. During that time, WIS Intl. has grown 10-fold, and
swallowed up a US competitor 3 times its size. And the strategic core scheduling
application developed by CompuWork scaled up to meet the challenge and remains in
use today. This enterprise-level application now runs on approximately 1,000
laptops in the field and keeps the databases of those mobile workers in
sync with the company's master job schedule, while efficiently capturing and relaying job results back into the company's head office accounting and
payroll systems.

Aritzia
Management reporting has been the main objective of CompuWork on behalf
of this growing fashion retail chain. That means devising complex queries
to extract and aggregate large volumes of data from the point-of-sale and supply-chain
databases.
Joining data from disparate databases is a challenge, but the
CompuWork team applied its extensive skills to the task and succeeded time and again.
A data warehousing implementation is now in the works and CompuWork remains on the
team, planning and preparing the next generation of systems. |

Remote Diesel Generation
Over the past decade, CompuWork has produced half a dozen applications for this
workgroup, ranging from budget planning to project tracking. The most
significant is a database application to track several dozen periodic variables
pertaining to generation and maintenance, and an extensive reporting system
that provides for trending analysis, period-to-period comparisons and several
key performance indicators for comparison with similar statistics achieved by
peer groups operating in other provinces and countries.

The challenge facing this law firm was staff productivity. Processing a foreclosure requires the generation of many documents.
And although there are many similarities in each, the particulars of each case determine exactly which documents will be required,
and within each document, which sections should be included, and for each section, which clauses should be used. While processing
hundreds of cases each year, how could the firm minimize both staff time required and the potential for human error?
The answer: Generate those documents using an controlled Office application that manages document templates, sections and section order,
and variable clauses for each. In partnership with the client and using MS tools, CompuWork developed a successful solution that
generates documents reliably and with a minimun of staff effort.
PDX Couriers Ltd.
Efficient dispatching and rapid response times constitute this company's
competitive edge, and CompuWork has built the applications that make this
possible. The first application reflects a peer-to-peer paradigm using dial-up
networking. The latest connects a browser-based Web interface with the back-end
dispatch component using virtual private networking over the Internet.

SPRichards Co.
This office supply wholesaler distributes its catalog to hundreds of retailers
in electronic format. The store managers then use that data in conjunction with
a simple Windows application that provides browsing and searching functionality
to compile purchase orders, which are then transmitted electronically to the
distributor. Although the origin of this system pre-dates the Internet era, it
remains in use because of customer satisfaction.
Hongkong Shanghai Bank of Canada
CompuWork has developed three applications for this client: 1) A workgroup
application for the trust department 2) An enterprise-level application for the human resources
dept. to
facilitate the bank's annual salary review and incentive program 3) Another workgroup application to track support issues for the bank's electronic
banking products.All apps were developed in partnership with the client's IT staff, with
each team being solely responsible for specific parts of the project.
