BDS Document Control System

The Brodrene Dahl Samferdsel (BDS) Document Control System is a platform for managing product files related to the company’s marketed offerings. It centralizes information such as product details, categories, groups, specifications, and inter-product relationships for easy access and reference.

The client needed a dedicated platform to manage product-related files separately from their main website. Initially, the system was built using PHP (CodeIgniter 3), but as the business grew, they needed a more modern, secure, and scalable solution. They sought better speed, security, and easier management moving forward.

We rebuilt the platform using a modern technology stack: React for the frontend and Django for the backend, interacting through an API-based architecture. Files are stored securely using Azure Blob Storage, ensuring efficient handling of both private and public documents. The frontend and backend were developed separately to allow for greater flexibility, scalability, and maintainability.

The new website is now live and running smoothly. It offers faster access speeds, improved security, and a future-proof architecture that is easier to manage and expand as the client’s needs evolve.
