Recent projects
Creating a portal for B2B customers to manage their gift box orders
For this project, Meinhardt is looking for a group of students to create a new webpage portal for B2B customers to utilize. The portal will be needing a few different parts including and not limited to: home page, sign in function, admin panel, order history, payment uploading functions, production schedule, and more. The portal will not require an online payment processing component. With a project for 4 students, we aim to have each student focus on different sector of the project. We currently have a draft that includes an outline of the portal that breaks down the flow and process, and are open to discussions to brainstorm and achieve the most desirable outcome. We are looking forward to working with students to see what their insights are and help them in getting some working experience!
