I would have no reservations in recommending Ethix Systems LLC to any company that is looking for a cost-effective solution for the development of a custom software program for their business. The On-Line Reporting Service Dan and Nick developed for our firm is very professional, easy to use, and has been well received by our Clients. Ethix Systems was the right choice for Gibson Consulting Group.

Gibson Consulting Group


Vision: Gibson Consulting Group provides utility management services for their clients. Among other things, they provide utility usage and cost reports for their clients.

Problem: Gibson Consulting Group wanted to offer these reports to their clients online. However, the program being used to store the utility data is a localized application and is not designed for web usage. A previous attempt by another company to migrate customer data to a new web-based program failed.

Solution: Ethix Systems was able to provide a solution that pulls information from the local software into a web-based format and built the reporting application from the ground up using the existing data which provides colorful graphs and reports that can be saved as PDFs for use outside of the application.

Shopping cart solutions can be very frustrating to shop around for. Some offer a low price, some offer ease of use, and some offer a lot of features, but rarely does a product offer all three. However, an open source shopping cart, called Magento, was released in early 2008 does just that.
Magento has become widely adopted as it is free to download, install, and configure and because it is very easy to administer. It includes a robust and intuitive toolset that offers almost any feature you would ever want without the need to purchase or install separate modules. Click HERE to see its magnanimous list of features, including:

Management of multiple online stores
Search engine friendly URLs and SEO goals in mind
Support for many languages and currencies
Discount code, shipping, tax, and payment option calculations with virtually no limitations
100% customizable design with a myriad of free themes available through the community
Built-in CMS for pages separate from the product listings
Option for both guest and member-only checkout
Support for purchasing digital items where Magento secures access to these downloads
As with any large shopping cart package, it has its limitations. It takes a lot of resources to run, so we suggest hosting it with a company that has a plan specifically geared towards Magento, such as TMDHosting, or one that will give you dedicated server resources, such as eApps. Also, it has no graphical page editor, so you must know HTML to add CMS content. However, the features and usability of this product outweigh its limitations. Check out the demo that we setup on our server HERE. You can also see a Magento solution with a customized design in action HERE.
