Procurement Leaders commissioned Affino to create a responsive-design search to highlight all the different parts of its offerings within a single, flexible framework. The depth and breadth of Procurement Leaders’ offerings provides significant membership benefits, alongside considerable operational and logistics challenges. The new search would highlight all the different areas relevant to a particular query string / topics / keywords - and would cleverly combine clearly categorised content with networking opportunities, events and courses.
Affino worked with Procurement Leaders to achieve the best balance of categorised results on the screen. A mix of different filtering options, categorised content and recommendations. Affino deployed a mix of database- and design-centric developers to achieve the best possible results. The biggest challenge with responsive is always to achieve smooth scaling and wholly consistent results across different browsers, platforms and devices.
The new search is powered by the Apache Solr search engine - which is the default search for Affino. In this instance, Affino delivered an entirely new and unique configuration of the search - wholly tuned and optimised for Procurement Leaders' purposes. The new search features 6 content categories which colour-code the results, then 12 Procurement Category filters, 12 Industry filters, 5 Region filters and sorting by Relevance or Date. A member can instantly get a complete overview of all the related services Procurement Leaders offers for each topic category.
Following on from stringent staging and live deployment testing, the search is now fully optimised, smooth and efficient. It is one of the very best demonstrations for showing the wealth and breadth of content and services Procurement Leaders offers to its membership. For the membership itself, this will soon become their most essential tool for better connecting with and best utilising everything Procurement Leaders has to offer.

"Whilst we have always been able to see which articles have been the most popular, the new Article Report functionality allows us to instantly see which types of audiences are reading a particular article without setting up conversion events. To retrospectively interrogate this data has been a godsend and has given us a more detailed view of audience engagement with absolute ease."
"Working with Affino has been instrumental in creating the very best environment for us to engage fully with our readership.”
"Icelandair Cargo has been with Affino since 2005. Our internal customer web based on the Affino platform is well received and widely used by our customers and interacts via webservices with our Cargo Systems. The web has been upgraded throughout the years both technically and with more functionality added. Affino always delivers professionally and as promised."
"We worked with Affino for almost two years on a major website build and platform migration. It was an extremely complex project involving many bespoke elements. Affino were thoroughly responsive and communicated well throughout and their team were friendly and willing to help us achieve our ambitious goals. We’re very pleased with the modern and professional look and feel of the new website and users have been similarly impressed. Several of the bespoke elements added to the database platform have enhanced our ability to analyse our data and the platform works smoothly and reliably. Affino’s work has helped us to scale up our operations as well as grow and strengthen our brand."
"A very easy to use and highly functional experience, the new site looks fantastic - we've ended up with a great final product after a really positive and smooth running operation. Affino's support was highly responsive and always there when we needed it. And it was heartening to be on the receiving end of so much positivity from the readership"
"Affino always delivers on budget and on time!"
