We are Creating a Database for Maturation Institutes

'E-maturation' software has been developed for Maturation Institutes in order to be permanent, reliable and meet the needs of the institutions. The e-maturation platform includes subheadings such as permanent/assigned teachers, master instructors, themes/projects, institution information, product catalogs, workshop names and numbers, work schedules, reports, products belonging to the Bohça brand. Thanks to this digital platform, the work and transactions of the maturation institutes will be monitored.

The Brand of the Ministry of National Education, BOHÇA, is Going Digital

As Bohça Store, as a result of the marketplace research we conducted in line with our needs, Ticimax e-commerce company was found suitable and a partnership was established. This strategic partnership aims to continue our presence in the field of e-commerce as well as our physical store, to increase our sales focus and to transform the Bohça name into a strong brand by expanding our customer portfolio. During the transition to the e-commerce platform, Bohça Store employees were prepared for this new period with technical trainings organized by competent people. This training process included the successful integration into the Nebim program with the support received from Ticimax officials. As Bohça Store, we aim to offer our customers a faster, safer and uninterrupted shopping experience with the combination of these strategic steps. With the infrastructure investments and integration studies made, we aim to manage the operational processes of both our physical store and our e-commerce channel more effectively and to maximize customer satisfaction.

Digital Platforms for Maturation Institutes: Maturation Academy

In order to reach wider audiences more quickly with the studies carried out in maturation institutes, Maturation Academy YouTube channel, which was opened to meet the needs of those who are interested in traditional arts and crafts and want to improve themselves in these areas, contains 50 video contents. The focus of the trainings on the channel is the historical process of the concept of design, the place of design today, interviews with artists and experts in the field within the scope of the future in tradition and tradition in the future, as well as applications for various fields carried out in the workshops of our maturation institutes.
