Attrahent Campus Innovations

Many of the following featured products have evolved from services and consultation provided by Attrahent. These products can also benefit your business.

Electronic Distance Learning Platform

All businesses - from the smallest to the largest - can benefit from the continued professional development and education of their staff/clients. Our platform is an exceptionally cost-effective way to deliver such content and to track usage and understanding of the material. Performance is tracked down to the individual level, including the amount of time spent on each part of the programme. This allows programmes to be tailored to have optimal performance impact, while taking up the minimum of time. The entire system is accessed via web browser, so both delivery and editorial process can take place from anywhere. The system is further optimized for minimal Internet connection time, thereby making it ideal for countries such as South Africa in keeping Internet dial-up charges to a minimum. The system also incorporates an automated, online registration system whereby clients can sign-up themselves and edit their own profiles.

Our distance learning platform is successfully used by organizations such as Unistel Consultus for delivery of their CPD-Well program to Psychologists. This platform enables participants to earn their full annual requirement for Continued Professional Development (“CPD”)-points online – fast and effectively!

Preferred Deployment: As an Attrahent Hosted Solution (which means no extra work/servers for your IT department), with SLA.

Conference Management Software

Attrahent has developed and rolled-out a fully-fledged, cost-effective and very user-friendly conference management system, which includes:

Secure, online registrations.
Secure, encrypted and bank-accredited online credit-card registrations and payment processing.
Online abstract submissions and editing by the registered user.
Online abstract review, reporting and management.

It therefore covers many of the primary concerns of event-organisers, while being very economical, resulting in limited capital expenditure. This system is now being rolled out with great success at the Conferences Devision of Unistel Consultus (Pty) Ltd.

E-Commerce Platform (incl. Shopping Cart)

Attrahent boasts a unique, cost-effective e-commerce platform that can be integrated with any existing website. This platform includes a shopping cart and a powerful back-office management system, and therefore allows for the secure, encrypted, online processing of credit-card payments. This enables research- and project-teams, based at universities and elsewhere, to use e-commerce to present their commercial outputs to the local/international market.

Advantages of using the platform include:

The vendor can host his website from anywhere.
Shopping cart facilities are provided, with extremely flexible shipping options.
The shopping environment is branded with the vendor’s own logo.
Secure online credit card verification and processing is provided. As a result, the vendor no longer needs a security certificate.
The vendor doesn’t need a merchant account - the funds are received by Attrahent and tranferred in regular batches to any ordinary bank account specified by the vendor. This greatly simplifies accounting.
Terms, conditions and privacy statements are automatically generated for the vendor, and the vendor may choose to use this for his entire website.
Packages are extremely flexible. Attrahent is willing to consider providing the platform at minimal or zero upfront fixed and monthly cost, instead charging only a commission per transaction. This makes it much more attractive to vendors starting out in e-commerce, since Attrahent shares the risk.

It is therefore apparent that our e-commerce platform can be used by vendors of all sizes, from a single person selling bracelets from home, to the largest companies.
