Solution

DMC created two interconnected software applications to achieve the customer's goals. The first application is used by the doctor in the podiatrist’s office to manage 3-D scans of a patient’s foot along with patient, doctor, and order information.  The doctor also uses the application to submit orders for the custom orthotic inserts.  The second application receives order information at the manufacturing site and manages regulatory and business requirements for each order.
