Projects and case studies.
John Sandoe books.
John Sandoe Books, a renowned bookstore in Chelsea, required a website redesign and the entire book catalog to be made available online. The project involved analyzing the necessary new functionality and assisting in the procurement of a dedicated hosting platform. Collaboration with the bookstore’s design and branding specialist ensured the implementation of custom designs across the site. A specialized eCommerce system was developed, featuring both a 'quote' request option and bespoke functionality for sorting and searching. As the launch neared, a bulk upload solution was created and used to add over 20,000 products to the site. Additionally, ongoing systems and processes were established for the seamless addition of new catalogues.

Spotlight on AI
Need support with understanding how your organisation can leverage AI? Modern Large Language Models (LLMs) and other AI systems use data to learn patterns and make decisions, simulating tasks that typically require human intelligence, like recognizing images or understanding language. It’s not that complicated, because these systems are essentially just following rules they’ve learned from large amounts of data they have been trained on to make predictions or decisions, similar to how we learn from experience.
- Customer Support Automation: LLM-based AI can power chatbots and virtual assistants that handle customer queries, providing instant responses and reducing the need for human support. These can be highly customised for specific business and business scenarios.
- Content Generation: Businesses use LLM AI to generate marketing content (text and images), product descriptions, and even reports, saving time on repetitive writing tasks.
- Data Analysis & Insights: LLMs can process and analyse large volumes of textual data, helping businesses extract insights from customer feedback, social media, and industry reports for better decision-making. AI systems can be also be setup to look at specific and private organisational data.
