Brief

Plimsoll approached Flint Studios to develop a new subscription-based web application called Plimsoll TALAT. It presents up-to-date and on-going business analysis on over 1500 industry sectors with around 250,000 companies being analysed, categorised by sector and ranked by business metrics such as profitability, company value and growth. Instead of trawling through hundreds of financial figures, TALAT provides the results instantly. In just a few clicks, visitors can download the latest industry analysis in full, generate reports and create PDFs, share information with other colleagues and stay up-to-date with marketing trends. The project provides further evidence of our pedigree to develop unique and bespoke online applications to help protect and grow markets for our customers.

Visualising complex statistics through UI

The Plimsoll TALAT user interface is built using jQuery templates that asynchronously call server-side web services. This technology enables the user to scrutinise competitor information and monitor performance of all the key players within any given sector. TALAT subscribers can review and select companies of interest and generate market reports based on budgeted figures.

Bespoke Application Development

The application allows user customisation and creation of company and market reports. The system delivers fine-grained control of industry sectors, financial analysis, directors and their associated companies’ details to allow users to tailor reports to their own exacting requirements. The outputs of this system include financial analyses in PDF format that are downloadable for easy printing by the user. The system features high-speed data recall across a database of over 1.2 million records. These records are also regularly updated throughout the day. Flint Studios scoped, designed and developed this web application exclusively for Plimsoll.

Responsive Web Design

The way in which we do business is constantly changing and twenty-four-hour access to emails means the busy manager never stops. That’s why TALAT is accessible on all platforms allowing website visitors to view industry reports with ease via a mobile, tablet, laptop and desktop. This intuitive responsive website adapts to all screen sizes. We used the best web practices to create high-end functionality with bespoke responsive development to provide stress-free interaction and high- speed load times.
