The Need

SEKO is a leader in supply chain technology and freight execution best practices.  With over 140 locations worldwide, many SEKO locations had endevoured to create and promote their own web sites.  This resulted in a large number of SEKO related sites without a common theme and message. SEKO wanted to develop a web site that would consolidate all of the sites under a new domain name of www.sekologistics.com.  SEKO also wanted to be sure a templated sub site could be created for each location and give those location owners the ability to update content as desired.

The Solution

With a very tight timeframe, Adage was provided with the home page design and several interior pages.  Using Ektron for the content management system development, Adage first worked to create the parent site.  Once complete, Adage built out the capability to "generate" sub sites for each location as needed without the intervention of a developer.  Permissions and workflow was added for content changes and approval by location.  Each location will have the ability to update content and implement local languages as desired.  Adage also completely rewrote a Flash based location lookup tool using Jquery and Google Maps.
