We need a solution for the following tasks
Aim: From a venue's floor plan (file formats can be *.pdf, *.jpg, *.gif or a CAD file format) to an inter-active solution that can be integrated in a web page and connected to an e-commerce solution.
The measure unit is metric!
1) From a venue we booked for a trade fair we receive a floor plan. That floor plan needs to be prepared in such a way that we can use it to create the booth/stall layout. Each of these needs to be identified/marked individually so that additional information can be presented when hovering with the mouse over a specific booth after the floor plan has been uploaded and made public.
2) The booth measures follow standards and can be defined by length (=side at the isles) and depth. The depth are either 2, 3, 4 or 5 meters and the length 3, 4, 5, or 6 meters. Plus the booth wall sizes (=standard) need to be integrated as well
3) There are four types of booth configurations used for trade shows.
IN-LINE: One or more standard units arranged in a straight line and having only one side exposed to the aisle. The back wall of in-line booths usually holds the company's logo, products, company name or other sign-age. Display materials are arranged so that they don't obstruct the view of neighboring exhibitors.
ISLAND: Bound on four sides by aisles. In trade shows, exhibitors usually purchase four standard units to ensure all sides face out to an aisle.
PENINSULA: Three sides are expose to an aisle. Usually two sides of the display face out to opposite aisles. A third side, which usually has some kind of fabric-covered wall as a background, is open with no side walls, has a display that the public and approach closely.
CORNER: A corner booth is an in-line booth exposed on two sides to an aisle. It is considered a premium space in a trade show exhibition and usually demands a higher exhibitor's cost. Corner booths allow exhibitors access to two traffic patterns: Patrons along the rows of exhibitors and general trade show traffic.
4) The booth can be located on the floor plan either one by one or as predefined "blocks" of individual booths. Very similar to house decoration software.
5) Furthermore, each booth/stall is blockable/bookable on-line by web page visitors and this process needs to be connected to the e-commerce part.
6) The potential exhibitor can select one or more booths next to each other in order to create a larger exhibition area for his needs.
7) The floor plan layout process must also show and incorporate legal necessities, such as fire drencher, emergency exits, escape routes and others issues
8) The final floor plan that is presented on-line needs to be down-loadable as *.pdf file and as an image file
9) From that final layout an escape plan needs to be created too
10) After booking the booth the exhibitor can create a 3-D booth layout using an on-line configurator ([login to view URL] and [login to view URL] and [login to view URL]
Summary
The solution can be a combination of desktop and web server application or a web server application only. It needs to be user friendly and easy to handle.

It is 6 minutes and the interesting part is from minute 1:30 to 4:30
The web site itself we will create using a CMS that is built on the ColdFusion framework.
Thank you for your interest in this project and your detailed proposal and bid.
