The Show 09

For the first time in its history, The Show went 100% digital in 2009. Instead of sending foam core and video tapes, agencies submitted their entries online via a Ruby-on-Rails application built by Ratchet. The application also managed the judging and event ticket purchasing processes.

Ready Credit iPhone Application

When Ready Card users need to find the nearest kiosk, check their card balance or view latest transactions the information is in the palm of their hand, thanks to a Ratchet built iPhone app for Ready Credit. The app's sleek design was done by ideapark and calls the web site code to handle all information gathering so we didn't have to reinvent the wheel.
