The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) is a not-for-profit organization that develops laboratory standards worldwide. Our standards are recognized by laboratories, accreditors, and government agencies as the best way to improve medical laboratory testing.

CLSI partnered with Fynydd to create a web platform for marketing their organization, provide member and volunteer services, membership management, and a shop for their Standards documents.

The platform integrated with NetForum and other third party services to provide a single, complete access portal for staff, members, and volunteers.

The shop provided unique pricing, options, and user experiences for anonymous visitors, members, and customers in developing countries. Standards products provided digital samples and full specifications, as well as customized pricing based on the visitor.

A member portal provided everything a member needs to manage their profile, membership details, purchase history, downloadable products, event attendance, membership certification, nominations, volunteer history, and more. It also provided delegates with management tools for authorized employees in their account.

Other tools and features include public file management for volunteer communication and education, outbound links to services such as their eClipse platform and support system, a shopping cart reminder system, product import and publication tools, and so much more.

Some of the key features of the platform include:

• Based on ASP.NET MVC and Umbraco CMS, hosted on Microsoft Azure
• Full integration with NetForum AMS, including product data and membership management, e-commerce
• Complex sales pipeline
• Complex member management features
• Catalyst Fire Ignition, SmokeSignal, and Flashpoint integration for enhanced NetForum communication and single sign-on (SSO)
• Non-destructive product data sync keeps the site online even if NetForum is not available
• Responsive HTML5 framework
• Membership management, product sales (e-commerce), blog, news, videos, slideshows, file management, and more
• Transactional email service for website visitor and shop communication
