Desert King International

A Gunner Technology Case Study

Background

Desert King International was founded in 1978 as a pioneer in jojoba oil production. It rapidly became the largest and most reputable jojoba oil producer setting the standards for quality jojoba oil products.

Since then, Desert King International has added Yucca Schidigera and Quillaja saponaria products to its high quality natural products line, becoming not only the largest manufacturer of Yucca and Quillaja, but the only company basic in both products with manufacturing facilities in Baja California, Mexico (Yucca schidigera products) and in Chile (Quillaja saponaria products)

Problem/Pain

Desert King International hired us to overhaul its existing website. A former business partner, developed the previous website. A few years into our business relationship, we were asked to give a quote to redesign the previous site, which lacked functionality and design elements. The company had seen several other projects we created and wanted the new site to better showcase the company.

Solution

We created several new custom modules for Desert King International’s knowledge base, including specialized groups and user accounts for password protected viewing of product specs for the following industries: Food and Beverage, Personal Care and Cosmetics, Agriculture, Animal Feed, Industrial.

We also developed a system to show where the products originate from using longitudinal and latitudinal tracking.

Also, we improved the functionality and aligned the look and feel more closely with the Desert King International brand.
