A system that we’ve developed for Diageo Australia to manage the process of ordering promotional material for pubs and clubs. This is used by hundreds of BDMs, four different supplier agencies, and acquires data from a SAP system.

The Turnkey application allows Business Development Managers to visit pubs and order various point of sale items for the venues they look after. Each pub has a budget, depending on what their turnover of Diageo products is. Depending on which Diageo brand they sell (Smirnoff, Johnny Walker, Bacardi, etc) they will have access to different promotions. The items that BDMs order range from small promotion specific items like branded aprons and bar mats, through to the large signs and awning banners on the outside of the venue.

There are several different groups using the tool. An ad agency develops point of sale material and loads these in. A promo- tions agency loads staff promotions & incentives. And an events company loads other items.

We built this site for WWF to support Earth Hour 2008, using a Ruby on Rails backend.
