Challenge	Flanagan’s application was archaic and was implemented many years ago when online ordering and shopping cart designs were still in their nascent stage. Front-end was created using complex Oracle Forms rendered as web-based applets, which made it less usable. All major browsers stopped supporting applets completely. However, most of their business data were stored in the Oracle database which they needed to reuse. In a nutshell, the application they used was not user-friendly. Flanagan was looking to replace the existing application with a modern and responsive interface that could reuse their data at reduced costs. Read More

Flanagan offers food services to more than 8000 restaurants providing close to 10000 items across the province of Ontario. Flanagan’s main business application is an online ordering application for food services for their customers. The application was originally developed using Oracle Forms 10g/11g and Oracle Fusion Middleware Application server. The application uses database persistent connections with client-side SQL / PL SQL logic as well as business logic in database procedures. Read More
Solution	After careful evaluation of multiple platforms, Flanagan decided to choose WaveMaker low-code platform for developing a web-based online ordering system. WaveMaker features that helped them arrive at this decision are: Visual development and little manual coding, Ability to build responsive applications that worked on multiple browsers and devices, Availability of widgets, styles, and code generation to speed up delivery, Reuse of existing Flanagan databases and stored procedures, One-click deployment to Flanagan hosted servers. To help with migration, Flanagan decided to go with WaveMaker’s Jumpstart Professional Services which helped them to quickly evaluate important features and helped implement core parts functionality within just a week.
