Scenario 1
Application Development that has helped automate a system and reduce administration time for a company
Premise:
You run a business, part of your product line is a particular set of products that incur a regular monthly fee from a wholesale provider, which you must pay to the provider periodically and then invoice your clients for the products plus any usage components, also periodically.
The details of these products, their usage component and your cost amount are sent to you monthly via email in a document. You must then manually reconcile the records in this document against your customer records and invoice them accordingly. You now have hundreds, maybe thousands, of customers and it's starting to become a week long chore to perform the "billing run".
Solution:
Business To Business (B2B) Automation could be established to streamline this process by automatically extracting the information from these standard invoice records and raising invoices for your customers without you having to manually process them by hand.
Scenario 2
Application Development that has helped Centralise Information and provide real time feedback
Premise:
Your company provides a sales service to customers and you keep the records of the sales, commissions, packages purchased and the date they were purchased in flat files, one for each month.
This worked ok for some time, but now your client base has increased 10 fold, your hiring more staff and opening up in a new location, how are you going to maintain flat files if there are multiple people using them, some perhaps on the other side of town at the new office, perhaps some right across the country!
Solution
A Database Driven secure extranet interface (a website, but only you and your staff have access to it) would allow your staff, at any site, on any internet connected computer, to access this sales data and insert new records per sale, inspect old transactions and perform reports over periods, product types, locations and so forth. This removes the nightmare of lost flat-files, double ups on the flat files, attempting to reconcile from multiple source documents and generally losing your hair.
