Staples engaged CommonPlaces to design and build a custom shopping cart application for internal use. The Boston, MA based company needed a way to manage orders and shipments of sales literature and gifts used by employees. This custom cart designed by CommonPlaces communicated with the central warehouse, and placed items on backorder if they were not available. It was also possible to ship parts of orders to different locations, as sales managers often needed to send materials to multiple employees. CommonPlaces created a global address book that every user could access, and also provided the functionality for each sales manager to have their own customizable address book. Staples found this cart to be a clean and simple way to manage internal procurement of sales materials.
