This same technique could be used in other web applications needing on-the-fly PDF creation, such as job descriptions, invitations, product details and training documentation.

DAMS Furniture
The Proposal

Dams Furniture needed a user-friendly method of giving their distributors access to customisable, high-quality online marketing materials that could be updated as often as required.

 

 

The Solution

Our online application allows users to register, select from a range of PDF templates and add their own logos, pricing and addresses. Customised PDFs are immediately downloadable.

 

 

The Outcome

Furniture distributors are now able to sign themselves up and create marketing material for email and direct mail campaigns. Dams is quickly able to offer new templates to meet the demand.

 

Here's what DAMS had to say:

"We have worked vey closely with Overbyte Interactive Ltd since their inception some 5 years ago.

 

This has included several large web projects for our own customers - Asda and BT, to mention two.

 

Overbyte has also developed a customer facing section to our own website called MyDams that allows our customers to produce their own brochures in PDF format. This development has given us a unique selling point in our industry and has been a great success by allowing our customers to service themselves at a time of their choosing.

 

Each project has been a big success and always to a deadline and budget.

 

All their staff are very friendly and I cannot recommend them enough"
