SquidCam

SquidCam is the first mainstream project SquidSoft has independently designed and implemented. Released in late Summer 2002, SquidCam is a video phone application that utilizes a network connection (TCP/IP) to transport audio, video, and text data between two clients.

Goodwill Industries of Denver

SquidSoft created and deployed a robust sales and production (stock) management system for Goodwill Industries of Denver in early Fall of 2001. Due to the nature of Goodwill, SquidSoft made use of inexpensive and dependable technologies, and delivered the project at a reduced price. The system was built using Linux (RedHat), Apache, and Cold Fusion for the front-end, and Microsoft's SQL database server for a back-end.

The use of Linux and Apache ensured an inexpensive and powerful server solution. Cold Fusion provides an elegant way to script special functionality that was required for this project. The choice of MS-SQL on a separate server was made for reliability, and allowed for consolidation of other database-driven projects by other departments within Goodwill. A standard web broswer is used to interact with the system, which was chosen for the cost (no expense at all) and multi-platform availability. Password protection and IP restrictions were applied to different areas as necessary.

The final outcome was a comparatively inexpensive system which allowed employees to enter and view data (both in-house and remotely) for every step of the company's daily operations. The process starts with production (stock) personnel, who enter data for incoming goods (donations). The stock is distributed to one of the many stores Goodwill operates in the Denver area, where sales data is entered on a daily basis. The accounting department can view any production or sales data at any time, and generate reports that were built into the management system. An administrative tool was created which allows complete access (including tools to add, edit, and delete entries) to the entire database. The administrative tool may also be used to create new stock categories to track, or remove an item which is no longer sold. SquidSoft also supplied diagnostic tools to check for both incorrect and possible duplicate entries as well as full documentation.

Kawasaki ATV and JETSKI games

In mid-summer 1999, SquidSoft was sub-contracted to provide development support for two titles published by Encore Software, Inc. SquidSoft's cross-platform 3D engine was licensed for use in both titles.

SquidSoft fulfilled the creative requests of both Encore and Kawasaki, delivering two complete products within fourteen months of development time. Each project ran with or without 3D hardware acceleration under Windows (Win95 onward) and MacOS. Encore Software was recently acquired by Navarre.
