Platform as new standard for ink and toner orders

Software development

Platform as new standard for ink and toner orders


For our customer UFP-Austria we were able to accompany and implement a very exciting project.

simple print is a unique web platform that makes it easy to order the right ink or toner for your printer.

When you buy a printer from a trusted dealer, you receive a QR code that can be attached to the printer. Scanning the code takes you to a store that is customized for the printer or printer model. Only those products that really fit the printer are displayed there.

You can then order the products of your choice easily and securely and have them sent to your home by your dealer.

This means that it is no longer possible to accidentally order a consumable that does not really fit your printer. Often the product types and designations are very similar and confusing.

The application connects regional wholesalers, retailers and end customers.


Digital marks...

  • Development of a multi-client capable web application
  • Development of a dealer portal
  • Development of end customer store
  • Integration of payment providers directly for merchants
  • Integration of EDI interface for import and export

Monitoring machine hall

IIoT / IoT

Monitoring machine hall


A monitoring system was implemented for a company in the metal technology & manufacturing sector, which enables employees in a large tool shop to obtain information on the current status of each machine. In addition to information on how long a production process has been running, other key figures of the machine are also constantly monitored and evaluated.

By displaying the monitoring data on several large screens in the hall, smooth production can be ensured even with a small number of staff.

Since not all machines had the necessary sensors to collect the required data, we retrofitted and integrated the appropriate sensors into the system (own control & software).
