Seasus made its mark amongst tough competition at the MCA eBusiness Awards for the fifth consecutive year.
At the 5th edition of the MCA eBusiness Awards 2015, Seasus took home the award for Best eCommerce site (B2C) through its online solution for Elmo Insurance.
The new platform for Elmo Insurance was launched in June 2015 with the aim of providing state-of-the-art e-commerce facilities to its existing and prospective clients. Through the new portal, Elmo customers can request a quotation for a wide range of insurance services, which is calculated in real-time. After a quotation is issued, customers can proceed to make an online payment for the services requested. Customers can also renew their policies on an as-is basis, or with the possibility of making amendments to such policies prior to renewal in the event that any changes have occurred to their circumstances.
Seasus was also a finalist in the Best B2B Application category with a ticketing platform developed for Supreme Travel's Malta Sightseeing Hop On Hop Off Tours service.
Driven by Android software technology, the ticketing system is an integrated platform comprising a front-end ticket issuing application and a back-end ticket management system used by Malta Sightseeing Hop On Hop Off Tours. The platform, which replaced what was predominantly a paper and manual based process, has measurably contributed to the reduction of operational costs and human error, as well as the possibility of any fraudulent activity associated with completely manual ticketing processes.
Available from any location at any time through portable Android-based devices and Bluetooth-enabled printers, users of this secure and friendly interface include drivers, third-party agents, representatives and partner companies, as well as management, who can avail themselves of accurate and real-time sales data at the touch of a button.
The 5th edition of the MCA's eBusiness Awards were held at the InterContinental Hotel in St. Julian's. The MCA eBusiness Awards have become an important annual appointment in the calendar of ICT activities in Malta, an opportunity to showcase and encourage new ideas and best practices in the field of eBusiness.
In his opening address, Dr Edward Woods, Chairman at the MCA, emphasised the importance of eBusiness in today's digitised global economic environment, and that while ensuring it remains within the limits of its remit, the Authority is committed to continuing to roll out initiatives that promote greater take-up of eBusiness as well as higher levels of standards and professionalism across the sector.
We are naturally honoured and thrilled with this award. Such recognition, to us as a development house as well as to our clients, is truly appreciated. Thank you, Malta Communications Authority, for a fantastic evening.
