Viessmann
Viessmann is a family owned company since 1917 and is at the forefront of heating technology. They operate in 36 countries worldwide and have 8,200 employees.
After we successfully won the tender for the Viessmann website back in 2006, which Viessmann were ecstatic with it for 2 years, Head Office in Germany underwent some branding changes and a new website was needed to reflect this. This time the website wasn't put out to tender and instead, Viessmann approached us with the brief.
When we build websites, we try to 'future proof' them as much as possible, and this was one time where this paid dividends. Lots of the old code was reusable, the old database stayed intact meaning the development cycle was extremely quick.
The website is also more than just a pretty face for Viessmann, it is an essential way that they keep in contact with the many Heating professional that use their products. It boasts a back catalogue of brochures, operating manuals and installation guides and also allows the heating professionals to log in and log the products they have purchased which are exchanged for prizes, ranging from a rucksack to a BMW motorbike.
