Heavy interest in ShowCase - Drive Thru Online - Support

Hello Mark,

I think ShowCase is the product for me.... I am running a vBulletin site for RC Model's (plane's , cars, boats etc..)

What I want is a way for users to show their collections and specs in a fashionable way. Is ShowCase the product that I can use? Of course I have to translate the product to Dutch, But that doesn't seem to be a problem...

Is there allready a demo site where I can see ShowCase in action?

Robert

ps. my site is http://www.modelbouwforum.nl (dutch spoken)

Robert,
Our ShowCase product was intended for exactly what you describe. It is highly configurable and can support the focus of almost any community.

The current release is about 60% phrased with English embedded in templates and code that generates the user interfaces. We have begun initial work on a 1.1.0 release with some minor feature additions and bug fixes. With this release we are planning to include the work necessary to fully phrase the product. We will also include documentation and tools to allow others to easily translate the product for their needs.

We are planning the release of ShowCase 1.1.0 near the end of August. In the meantime, if you are interested, I can coordinate access for you on one of our demo boxes or sample customer sites and arrange a Skype call with you to walk you through a demo of the product. Alternatively I can perform a demo and provide you link to a video of that to view whenever you like.

If you find that it meets your needs you can purchase 1.0.0 and we will work with you to get everything installed and configured for implementation on your site. Given how the product is customizable getting the data model defined and implemented can take a little time. We can also install the product so that it is hidden to everyone except those providing feedback on the initial configuration (ie - Admins). Then, as soon as 1.1.0 is available we will upgrade your software, you can perform the translation of the phrasing, and we can launch the features to everyone on your site.

Let me know how you would like to proceed. I think you will be very impressed with the capabilities of ShowCase as well as with our development and support.

Best regards,

Mark Ferguson

Mark,

Thank you for your quick answer (and installation of DTO Clubs). This all is looking very good to me.

There's a small problem on my side, I'm leaving for a 3 weeks holiday next week. I'll be back half way august. After my holiday I would like to contact you to see which steps we can take. Ok?

I see lot's of potential in the DTO ShowCase and this is exactly what I'm looking for a long time.

Regards,

Robert

Patrick,
Thanks for your post. Our prices are in USD. As of a couple of seconds ago the exchange rate for ShowCase in USD to Euros would be 275.53 Euros.

Have you taken a look at the ShowCase video demos we have on the site? ShowCase is more expensive because it is based on a software architecture that allows you to model any type of object or interest and share it among your users. It is very configurable and customizable and can support almost any type of community.

Since your community is powersport focused I would also recommend taking a look at our Garage Plus product. We have a Garage Plus demo video so be sure to see if it would meet your needs as it is less expensive. It is $95.00 USD which would currently be about 66.26 euros.

Let me know what additional questions you may have and I'll assist however I can.

Thanks for your interest in our products!

Mark

PS - I thought your English was quite good!

With Garage Plus you can edit the majority of section and subsection titles so you can customize it a bit. That said you can't change the number of images, what sections are displayed, etc.

To see this with you might want to click on the pricing tab and under the Garage (Free) version click on Download to get a license. You can experiment with changing the sections to see if it will meet your needs. You can also see a list of differences between the free and Plus version by clicking here.

Whenever you are ready to purchase you just clicking on the pricing tab, select Order on the product you want and it will walk you through the steps. We accept Paypal payments or credit card through Paypal so it should be straightforward. Once the sale is completed you can click on Partner Sign On at the top right of the page using your account and you'll be presented a list of whatever products you have licenses for. You can always download the most current version of software from this area.

Let me know if you have any additional questions and I'll work to assist.

Thanks again!

Mark
