Integrated Concepts Group: Custom Pricing and Financial Compliance Platform
Challenge
The primary challenge for Integrated Concepts Group (ICG) was to translate their "one-stop shop" full-service print and publishing model for the financial sector into a reliable, efficient digital storefront. This required managing complex variables for custom print products (folding, paper stock, mailing) alongside subscription-based digital services (newsletters). As the provider, our main challenge was engineering an accurate Custom Price Calculator and workflow that could handle thousands of product variables, support seamless subscription ordering, and incorporate essential compliance review processes required by the financial industry.
