The focus of this project is to provide a platform for Zoho CRM, in which users can identify duplicate records within their Zoho record modules. Primarily, the software developed through this project is an extension, which will identify duplicates within Zoho’s default Accounts, Contacts and Leads modules. The extension also provides the user with a variety of search settings and comes with a local database with which data can be synced to to save on API calls to the Zoho servers. Search settings include the ability to search by multiple fields, which are combined using either AND or OR operators to create a search pattern. An option to exclude data from the search based on the presence of specified values is also provided. Finally, the ability for users to schedule searches has also been implemented, allowing users to schedule searches on each module with their specified settings.

Designed Spaces specializes in home staging for clients in the Hamilton region and the Greater Toronto Area, primarily for homeowners and real estate agents looking to enhance property appeal before listing for sale. The project focuses on rebranding and redesigning websites to better represent their value in a fast-changing competitive industry.
Through our research, we identified key customer insights. Clients prioritize affordability, as Designed Spaces maintains cost-efficiency by owning staging materials rather than relying on rentals. Additionally, they require quick turnaround times, given the speed of the real estate market in these regions. Designed Spaces’ customers also appreciate custom staging solutions that can be tailored to specific market trends, such as modern, minimalist, or family-oriented design, to increase the engagement of target buyers.
Our research shows that competitors in staging and real estate offer varied approaches: staging companies focus on speed and creativity, design firms integrate staging with broader services, real estate agents provide in-house staging for convenience, and DIY options attract budget-sensitive clients. In contrast, we emphasize a tailored, high-quality staging experience that balances creativity and efficiency to set us apart.
The home staging industry is changing. Modern design trends now favor clean, simple looks with natural touches, which Designed Spaces includes in their staging. Furthermore, with many customers looking for eco-friendly options like energy-efficient lighting and repurposed furniture, sustainability has become increasingly important—an area where Designed Spaces can gain a competitive edge.
Another significant trend is digital innovation: virtual staging is seen as a practical and cost-effective option. Especially in a post-pandemic environment where virtual tours are common, virtual staging can be a valuable digital service that the Design Spaces can expand.
Our rebranding and website redesign will focus on showcasing these unique strengths. The refreshed website will emphasize their competitive features like quick project turnarounds, and ability to deliver trend-focused, customizable designs. Through an updated and visually engaging website, Designed Spaces will strengthen its reputation as a trusted and innovative staging partner for the GTA and Hamilton real estate markets.
Our project aims to measure and track greenhouse gas emissions from residential waste while also organizing digital markets to understand waste flows. This approach seeks to solve important environmental problems, like climate change, by showing how waste management affects emissions. Many communities face poor waste disposal issues, leading to higher greenhouse gas emissions and less recycling. By creating a system to track waste, the project will help identify areas that need improvement and encourage recycling and waste reduction. We are trying to achieve environmental goals create economic opportunities and improve the quality of life in the community.

This promotional video was created for GHS Enterprise by the REHD Productions team of the Interactive Media Design program at Algonquin College. The video should highlight what GHS Enterprise is, and why its unique approach makes it the best choice amongst its competitors.
GHS Enterprise, founded by Greg Smith, is a business service provider focused on agility, innovation, and problem-solving for companies. They help devise agile and innovative solutions for cultural, learning, and people management. Helping businesses enhance workplace culture, streamline HR practices, and empower employees. Due to the small size of the GHS Enterprise team, they are better able to tailor their solutions to their clients’ individual needs to most effectively help them thrive. GHS Enterprise serves a diverse client market ranging from HR professionals and CEOs to start-up businesses.
The main narrative for this project was to highlight GHS’s unique holistic approach and its emphasis on inclusivity and community. To do this, we aimed during the pre-production stage to make a video that felt personal rather than commercial. REHD Productions researched effective techniques used in modern marketing and noted the effectiveness of client/customer testimonials. The project’s timing aligned well with a written testimonial in progress between Greg Smith and Patrick Devey, Associate VP at Algonquin College, though the interview was uncertain due to Patrick’s busy schedule. Later in the planning phase, a second client testimonial was planned to guarantee that a client’s feedback be included in the project. This second client, John Duncan, was scheduled to be interviewed through Zoom. By the end of the pre-production phase, a plan was established to interlace two client testimonials with stock footage to support the narrative.
The video portion of the production phase was kickstarted with the in-person interview with Patrick Devey, followed by the online audio recording with John Duncan, ending with a video shoot with Greg Smith to get a closing statement for the video. One big challenge during the production phase was finding high-quality stock video and audio with limited resources. In order to ensure that all stock footage used in the project was covered by Creative Commons and/or cleared for commercial use, we analyzed the Licensing agreements of various resources (paid subscriptions and free alternatives). From this research, we established a set of resources from which to fetch b-roll footage, music, and voiceover for this project.
The video provided with this submission is a teaser of the full promotional video. We are in the process of editing the full video and obtaining licensing for voiceover software. This project’s aim is to create a short video encompassing the key attributes of a company in a captivating and fun way.
The project client is CityStudio Ottawa.

The student team will work on HUBBUB, a student project showcase event hosted by CityStudio Ottawa.

The student team will create a comprehensive branding guide, marketing package, three Wix web pages, and more to deliver to the client by December 13th.
