Data can be viewed in different ways. By default every data type automatically generates a standard set of commonly used views – a list of 'items', a grid of 'cards', and a table - along with special views and view components e.g. JSON representations for search results and API calls.

Relational data
In this example, storing details of producers separately makes it easy to update a producer's name everywhere by updating just one record. Storing data in separate tables can also help generate meta-data e.g. the number of products per producer.

Customisable by design
Extend or modify data and structure
We don't squeeze your data into a format that doesn't fit. Instead, we create custom extensions so that any existing data schema can interact with our universal modules.

Some examples of our work at work
Polytec
The Cambridge Recruitment Agency
The Polytec website –https://www.polytec.co.uk – combines the Typomania Enterprise system with custom data (job vacancies) and some custom-built modules.
Low maintenance
The Typomania system synchronises data between platforms that are poles apart - different locations, operating systems, database software, and even character character sets and encoding. Polytec simply update their internal systems – and the website ticks along with very little admin interaction.
Notable features include: a custom email system that sends notifications of new job posts to candidates based on the their preferences; custom application forms with context specific options menus; web only business processes allowing application-specific communication between Polytec and their customers.
CamVino
The Independent Cambridge Wine Retailer
CamVino is a complete online business which mixes standard Typomania Trade system with custom extensions so that the complex product structure can work with the Typomania checkout.
As well as more obvious components of an online shopping system – products, basket, checkout – it includes a purchasing system, stock control, fulfilment and delivery, vat, gp and other financial management functions. Then there are offer codes, customer mailing list management, supplier data synchronisation and an every expanding box of tools designed to improve performance and reduce effort.
