Case Study: Whitehots modernizes its library ordering platform with Whitecap

Whitehots modernizes Whitehots Hub with Whitecap for 1.2 million books processed yearly

Whitehots Inc., a Canadian library wholesaler, faced a sustainability challenge due to its decade-old online ordering platform, Whitehots Hub, which was built on an obsolete proprietary language. This made them highly dependent on a small developer with scarce resources, leaving them vulnerable and unable to implement needed enhancements. They partnered with vendor Whitecap to modernize the application and secure their market edge.

Whitecap delivered a modernized platform using ASP.NET Core, Progress Sitefinity 12, and Long View Private Cloud. The solution provided a seamless transition for customers, a refreshed user experience, and stable, scalable infrastructure. The results were outstanding customer acceptance, with one user describing the new Hub as "life changing," and orders began to increase incrementally. With the new platform from Whitecap, Whitehots can now focus on a robust future enhancement roadmap.
