What Our Clients Say

We have been in business since 1984 and during that time our computer software requirements have evolved from a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet on an IBM PC computer to a highly evolved and integrated proprietary computer reservations system. We’ve dealt with a number of different software development companies over the years and at one point, even had our own full-time programmer on staff. I rest easy knowing that Adam Chernenkoff of Claro Solutions looks after us these days. Adam and Claro Solutions are “heads and shoulders” above anyone else we have dealt with. I unreservedly recommend Claro Solutions.

I’d just like to take the time to express how satisfied I am with the various projects you have completed for us. The automation programs you have created save us countless hours of manual work and have allowed us to handle much larger workloads without increasing staff. I’m sure we will do more business in the future.
Thanks again,

SELECT PROJECTS

Nautilus Marine Rescue GPS

Nautilus LifeLine Radio is a battery-operated waterproof marine VHF radio (walkie talkie) created for scuba divers supporting two-way voice communication. Claro Solutions worked alongside Nautilus LifeLine on various aspects of this project including both software and firmware development. While primarily developed with scuba diving in mind, the Nautilus LifeLine Radio was as a breakthrough device in the marine and water-sports industries such as sailing, paddling, kite-boarding, and jet-skiing to name a few.

Our firmware portfolio involved VHF radio communication processes, receiving and saving GPS coordinates in device memory, User Interface changes, and construction of DSC (Digital Selective Calling) message packets for non-emergency position reporting, message acknowledgement, as well as precise GPS position reporting as a part of the Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS). Work on the DSC “extended” packets enabled the GPS position sent in Emergency messages to be narrowed from a wide area down to a 3 meter radius. This precise location was instrumental in saving the lives of several scuba divers in dire situations.

Claro Solutions also developed a cross-platform (Windows/Mac) application to change settings on the device as well as to download GPS coordinates from the device and upload them to a Google Maps interface to display the diver’s most recent locations.
Claro also developed custom software to be used during the manufacturing process to pre-load the device with firmware and appropriate default settings prior to shipping to customers.

Further software development for this project was creating a comprehensive administrative environment for all aspects of technical support, sales/customer relationship management, and providing software and firmware updates to the software and device(s) in the field.

 

 

 

Lightheaded Lighting

Lightheaded specializes in helping architects, designers, engineers and other light specifiers solve lighting problems.  Lightheaded Lighting approached Claro Solutions with an outdated website and a poorly structured product database that required countless manual editing.  The existing site and database was detracting from company growth as it required valuable time and effort from staff.  Claro Solutions created a simple solution for Lightheaded Lighting helping them reclaim their time and product management. Claro Solutions was instrumental in launching a newly rebranded website for Lighthheaded Lighting, as well as a comprehensive restructuring of Lightheaded product database. The newly structured database features a product admin interface to allow to staff to add, edit or delete items as needed. It is additionally multi-functional in that allows staff, customers and distributors to select products all attributes and print out PDF spec sheets for projects.

 

 

Nautilus Liveaboards

Nautilus Liveaboards specializes in luxury scuba diving trips. When we first started working alongside Nautilus Liveaboards, bookings for their trips were completed by phone or email and the majority of their marketing and booking processes were done manually. Staff routinely sent out marketing emails, updated trip availability on their website, and payment processing for customers’ bookings. This was time consuming and tedious for staff members.

Claro Solutions created an intuitive online booking system for retail customers to book their trips directly. The reservation system was built to work hand-in-hand with the internal reservation system to ensure both a seamless user experience and consistent record keeping. In conjunction with the reservation system, Claro Solutions automated business processes for Nautilus Liveaboards so that marketing and bookings ar a cohesive system. In order to achieve this, we created new systems and processes to relieve bottlenecks in their marketing and selling process, while retaining successful aspects of their existing system whenever possible.  The result of these solutions has allowed Nautilus Liveaboards to focus on company expansion.
