- 24 hour bus departure information

Community Website
CarPlus Interactive Map
We combined several datasources to create a custom-mapping tool that displays the location of all carclub cars around Bristol and Bath. The tool was integrated as a widget in the CMS and can be displayed on any page across the site. This tool is built on Angular.js.
Automated RSS Email Alerts
We integrated an automated mailing feature that triggers emails if certain content is uploaded to the site, such as travel alerts and disruptions. We worked closely with Travelwest to segregate and structure their database to ensure people received relevant emails. This feature has been a huge success; it has streamlined internal processes, increased traffic to the website and created a communication stream with the public.
