Online Ordering Facility / Bespoke Payment Systems / Content Management / Analysis and Reporting
Replace an antiquated manual ordering facility with an online system that would provide an efficient and effective service for both the hospitality providers and FCO users. Integrate new facility with Government procurement card and budget code system.
A comprehensive exploration of the project involving extensive discussions with FCO their hospitality service providers and the banks for both parties gave Mission a complete understanding of the e-commerce facility required. Mission’s complex integration with the procurement card and FCO budget and accounting systems were key to the project success. Originally built in 2006 we have continuously updated and modernised the system throughout it’s life, and it’s still going strong today.
