The Client
McCain Foods Limited, the world's largest producer of French fries and other oven ready frozen food products, was established in Canada in 1957.
Today, the company boasts 55 production facilities across 12 countries and six continents.
The Challenge
Provide all staff across the world access to an 'innovations portal', inspiring them to come up with the next generation of ideas to keep the global food manufacturer number 1.
Ensuring it is brand centric, easy to use and intuitive, therefore removing the need to provide tailored training to users.
What We Did
Creative Sharepoint worked remotely with stakeholders and peers in Canada to find out exactly what was needed and how the McCain brand would dictate this.
McCain wanted us to create a collaboration tool to allow all staff to interact and share ideas, to encourage innovation across all areas of the company. A key feature of the system is 'the brain', a knowledge base for all staff, which is based on Sharepoint lists, a clever UI and custom SQL backend.
The Outcome
As McCain had worked with three other suppliers before calling CSP in, we were really happy to get the solution right first time... at least for us.
The application works within McCain's strict brand guidelines, yet provides a rich user interface and experience that gets to the heart of the company's philosophy.
