Ensign Emblem - �Merlin2Go�

When Ensign Emblems, a national leader in embellishment products and services, needed a solution to allow customers to customize, preview, and then print emblems via a website they contacted Ironkeep Technologies.

Ironkeep developed a custom website that allows subscription based customers to dynamically create emblem sheets from a library of graphics and fonts. The emblem sheets are auto-generated from Adobe Acrobat and delivered to the client in PDF format, ready for printing using color profiles specific to Ensign�s hardware. This solution has allowed low volume clients to take advantage of Ensign Emblems� services without purchasing the full Merlin system.

Volkswagen/Audi � �Travel Authorization System�

In order to closely control travel costs, Volkswagen/Audi needed a solution to better manage corporate travel.

Members of Ironkeep developed a low-cost web-based system that allows VW/Audi management to oversee and approve travel. The secure system requires an employee traveler to login and request travel for a specific date and destination. This request is then routed to the correct departmental manager who then approves or denies the request. Corporate travel agents then review a travel request to verify its approval before booking the request.

This system has saved VW/Audi both time and money since its implementation.

Passageways Travel � Corporate Intranet

Passageways Travel, northern Michigan�s largest travel agency, needed an efficient way to communicate with its twenty plus offices spread throughout the state.

Ironkeep members worked with Passageways to develop an Intranet site to facilitate their needs. The site has an easy to use interface for Passageways administrators to manage users, edit news articles, post company files for download, create and display an archive of company documents and more.
