Customized Web-based Computer Software

Why should you consider using the Web-based business software?

Most companies start out with intent of setting up a Web site to attract customers and sell products.? The 'tech stocks' took off big time as people began to understand the potential of the Web for transacting business. Then, alas, people began to discover that you need an infrastructure to support the transactions that their Web sites were producing. What's more, you need to produce profits if you are going to survive in the long-term. The discovery of these truths finally burst the bubble and took the luster out of having a web site.

All is not lost however. The same structure that was used to produce e-commerce sites can be used to make dramatic improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of your business systems. Having a web site strictly devoted for your company's internal use can help you make the big leap to the next level of operations.

Web based software operates as if all your computers were centralized. This allows everyone in your company to use the same databases, enter data from any location, and see the same results as everybody else. Web-based software keeps everybody on the same page and is cheaper to operate than sending information by fax or even email. I found this out quite by accident and would like to tell you My Story about the Web.

Why should you consider using my services:

• I approach software design with many years of experience at being a user of software in a business setting.
• I design business software to leave a clear trail of accountability because I knew the benefits for management to be able to determine who is doing it right and who is doing it wrong.

• I want to improve your business, not just produce software.

What companies are good candidates for business systems improvements using the Web?

Companies with multiple locations or with the intent to build multiple locations should be looking at web-based software as the cornerstone of their reporting systems. I cannot overstate the efficiency of allowing everybody to use the same system regardless of their location. My own experience is that web-based software produces a cheaper and more effective business system than one built around fax machines and telephones:

What business systems are good candidates for improvement using Web-based software?

Just about any system that involve people in more than one location. The following list are my favorites for improving a business.

• Inventory Ordering - I have a lot of experience with this one and can produce really large results.
• Sales Reporting - This was a big saver for a company that was having daily sales reports faxed to the corporate office and then reentered into a computer by the high-cost accountants.
• Company Operating Manual - Putting your rules and regulations on-line means that you can make a change in one place and have it immediately available to everybody.? Eliminates the excuse that 'I never got that memo!'
• Employee Expense Reports - This sounds mundane, but on-line reporting eliminates a lot of follow-up questions like 'when will I get my reimbursement?'
• Payroll Reporting - Allowing each location to report their hours and employee status changes is a big time saver for your accounting department.? Its even possible to have your field foreman report their crew hours with a Palm Pilot directly from the field.
• Crew Scheduling - The web is ideal for this since every crew manager can have remote access with a hand-held like the Palm Pilot. The information is all in one place and an update is immediate for everybody.
