We have several new developments focusing on e-commerce, automated ordering etc which include room for R&D projects to help us keep ahead of our competitors in the photography and imaging space.
We also have several systems built upon google firebase, a No-SQL technology that we need to migrate away from to a structured SQL database, realigning our technologies with the direction of the business.
We are looking to keep things simple.H Tempest History in Technology
The progress of technology at Tempest has moved in cycles. We first moved from a wet photography process to a digital hybrid complete with a main order pipeline.
The second wave saw the introduction of order websites across numerous markets enabling online ordering and automated order injection straight into our manufacturing process, along with numerous management tools to support new demands from both B2C and B2B customers.
The third wave saw a redesign of the school orders website along with a move to google cloud and JavaScript technologies.
Now we are starting the fourth wave where we are stabilising and simplifying our systems, moving away from certain technologies keeping our technology stack simple for core systems and reengineering / replacing legacy ones.
