Web Development

USCG Training Center Supply Ordering System

This web site allows staff at USCG Training Center Petaluma to order general office supplies through an online store. Previously staff had to go to the supply office to view inventory, not knowing which items were in stock. Now they browse from their desk and pick up their order when they are ready. The online system has reduced inventory loss and enabled accurate accounting of orders. This site is only availble on the USCG intranet.

This web site was featured at the 2006 Coast Guard Innovation Expo and was highlighted by the Commandant in his keynote address.
