Internet Mail Order Company in Germany Uses REALbasic to Ensure Consumables Supply for Printing and Copying Systems In 2001, Christian Engelke and Philipp von der Born were in their final high school years when they started a mail order service for ink and toner cartridges - a service from which later emerged Compredia GmbH. In the beginning, Compredia relied upon third-party software for order management and deployed a customized version of an Open Source solution as their POS system. Using the C++ Builder under Windows, they also developed a number of software tools for enhancing and optimizing individual elements of the workflow. Later, PHP and MySQL served as the basis for integrating custom-designed Internet POS solutions within the company. Tailor-Made vs. Off-the-Shelf Over time, Compredia's very own standards evolved. Especially the demand for their online POS solutions to be as easy to integrate as possible, within their corporate workflow, but also concerning the IT infrastructure of any given vendor. Based in Northern Germany, Compredia had been growing steadily and significantly. Meanwhile with a third business partner aboard, the company sells toner and ink cartridges, as well as ink ribbon for all types and sizes of faxes, printing systems and copiers - ranging from home and small office inkjet printers to full-size industrial digital copiers and dot-matrix printers. Many of the products in Compredia's portfolio, particularly those for older machines, have to be purchased at different distributors worldwide. Through this, management at Compredia realized that readily-available "off-the-shelf" software is often less-than-perfect for fully-grown, complex workflows. So, even considering the elevated costs of the required changeover, Compredia decided to develop a truly customized solution for their requiremens from online POS and order management to inventory management.
