A History of Collaboration
As our first Drupal web development client, WebFirst has proudly supported the Private Label Manufacturing Association for over 20 years. PLMA is a non-profit organization that promotes Private Label in both international and domestic markets with offices in both New York and Amsterdam. PLMA’s members include private store brand food and home product manufacturers which produce the same quality of food and home products as national brands for a fraction of the cost, allowing greater access to food for American families. PLMA holds two large annual trade shows; both international and domestic, to help connect retailers with PLMA manufacturers to help grow and promote private label products.
BUILDING A LARGE DIGITAL TRADESHOW
WebFirst supports PLMA's online digital trade show with over 1,600 attendees and exhibitors for their international market. WebFirst performs customer and user experience support, enhancements to the platform (e.g. REACT) and Operational / DevSecOps support. The Conference and our platform has been a huge success since its launch - individual vendors manage their own digital booth experience and retailers can schedule and hold meetings.
DECOUPLED DRUPAL - ADAPTING WHEN IT COUNTS MOST
WebFirst is improving the international digital trade show platform by looking to provide a higher quality, content-filled experience with live video content. WebFirst leveraged Drupal on which PLMA staff can easily manage its trade show digital schedule and video content. Using React on the front-end, content is pulled from Drupal (decoupled), providing a seamless integration between the digital trade show platform and PLMA’s video content stored and managed in Drupal.
Technologies Used: React, Symphony, MySQL, Drupal, Vimeo
