Solutions in the Real World
Nothing is more important then the end result. We invite you to take a look at some of the solutions we've provided for our clients below, and read what they have to say about their experiences working with Vitreo.
Sotheby’s International Realty
Atlas - Inventory and Marketing Management Application
“Local experts with global connections.”
Sotheby’s International Realty (SIR) is a global network of realty offices serving select metropolitan and resort markets in many of the of the world’s most sought-after locations. From spacious condominiums with Central Park views in Manhattan to sprawling ranches in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, you can find it all on their public website, SothebysHomes.com.
The backbone behind SothebysHomes.com, as well as most of SIR’s online marketing, is an inventory and marketing management application called Atlas. Prior to founding Vitreo, Vitreo employees were responsible for the technical design and implementation of Atlas, and SIR has engaged us to continue maintaining and enhancing the application.
Atlas is a powerful application that enables SIR employees across the world to manage information regarding their home listings, global offices, and agents. The information is then used to feed SothebysHomes.com as well as other major real estate web sites and publications such as Realtor.com, New York Times, and PrimeLocation.com. Each day the system receives a new feed of listings from Sotheby’s parent company’s system, and marketing information must be added via Atlas. Atlas provides a user dashboard that keeps users informed of which Listings require their attention. Custom rules are applied to all data to ensure that only complete, quality information is approved and distributed. Atlas provides many custom features including mapping properties with Google Maps, fine-tuning the map placement, and management of photos for listings. In addition, SIR corporate and executive users use the system to monitor inventory and run reports on company performance.
HealthFirst Benefits
Benefits Management Portal
“Redefining the role of the traditional benefits broker.”
HealthFirst Benefits is a full-service employee benefits management firm providing all aspects of benefits management to employers and their employees. HealthFirst came to Vitreo with a desire to stay ahead of their competitors by providing easy on-line benefits management services to their clients. “Vitreo came highly recommended, but still I was skeptical,” says Richard Cusack, President of HealthFirst. “The cost of buying an off-the-shelf system was prohibitive and I didn’t think we could afford a custom built version of what we wanted.”
Vitreo helped HealthFirst prioritize their ideas based on what would provide them the most business value. Some of the most valuable features identified were:
- Employers should be able to easily add/remove employees to/from their benefit plans
- All users should be able to easily access documents pertaining to their benefits
- All users should be able to easily submit a customer service request to HealthFirst
- HealthFirst administrators should be able to administer employers, benefit plans, and documents for the system
Together we were able to design a streamlined application that allowed HealthFirst to meet their goals well within their budget. “Vitreo was awesome. The project was completed under budget and under the timeframe and is still performing for us and our clients today.”
Stimuluxe
“Stock imagery and other stimuli for creative work.”
Stimuluxe’s initial goal was to provide a unique experience for purchasing stock imagery online that was aimed specifically at graphic designers and creative professionals. Vitreo helped Stimuluxe combine the common features of a stock photography e-commerce site with their unique vision and image licensing offerings.
Our solution included:
- Online searching and browsing of digital imagery
- Free low-resolution, watermarked, downloadable images for trial use in “comp” work
- Ability for users to manage a “Folio,” or wishlist, of images they are interested in
- Custom shopping cart and secure checkout functionality with immediate digital downloads of purchased images
- Two distinct image licenses and price structures: Royalty-Free and Stimuluxe own FlexRighttm licensing
Stimuluxe is currently working with Vitreo on the next phase of their web site which will expand beyond digital imagery and offer a variety of products and services designed to stimuluate and inspire creative professionals.
