Case Study
Colors
Overview
A campaign and contact management system for marketing teams with campaign coordination, contact management, photo documentation with automatic watermarking, and location tracking.
Business Challenge
A marketing team ran field campaigns with no central tracking — contacts in notebooks, photo proof scattered across phones, no location verification.
Why It Was Built
Built to coordinate campaigns end-to-end: contacts, events, and photo-documented field activity with automatic watermarking for authenticity.
Target Users
Marketing teams and field coordinators running offline campaigns that need contact management and photo evidence.
Architecture
CodeIgniter for a compact codebase; GD2 library watermarks uploaded photos automatically; campaign→contact→event hierarchy keeps field data organized.
Deployment
Shared PHP hosting with MySQL — accessible to non-technical staff.
Scalability
Simple relational model handles campaign volume; photos stored on disk with generated watermarked copies.
