Internet Accessibility
The motorcycle industry is one that customers expects for it to continuously grow and always utilize the most recent high quality performance products, materials, dirt bikes, and motorcycles. In order to consistently provide their customers with the best service and most impressive dirt bikes and motorcycles they need to implement an extensive database. This database needs to be cost effective but proficient enough to be beneficial to the profit of the organization. Employees need to have access to the many features the internet and intranet has to offer accompanied with a lot of extra features. The company could increase their sales and productivity just by implementing the right customized software to guarantee improvements across the board.
The management of Dirt Bikes, a local motorcycle and dirt bike company wants to implement a way to communicate with customers and staff inside and outside the business organization. The managements also wants to obtain and share information effectively about developments in the motorcycle industry, and throughout the global economy. Also wanting the capabilities to track sales and pricing. A program that allows them to keep track of employees, actively do payroll, and accurately produce financial statements. The internet is not a costly investment, actually it is even easier to use than other forms of traditional technologies. The competition with the various internet and intranet companies allows any business to find software that is in their budget.
There are many formats and programs on the internet that can be used to assist management and employees at Dirt Bikes. A great email program would be beneficial to your sales and marketing departments. They would now be able to communicate throughout the industry with the staff and all customers. Many important documents can be exchanged through emails such as invoices, orders, and financial statements. There’s other tools that are beneficial to many departments within the company such as sales, designs, management, production, and also the finances. Accessing these tools through the internet gives the company the ability to interact with customers to finalize sales and troubleshoot issues with staff and customers. These tool gives you direct access to production operations, follow marketers, suppliers, and many more. Dirt Bikes can also have wireless connections that can be accessed through any wireless device such as smartphones, iPad, and laptops.
There is a perfect but cost effective Internet Service Provider that I recommend for Dirt Bikes. This internet provider will let you customize the speed that fits your business exact needs. It will offer you speed starting from 16/mbps to 150/mbps that will give you enough speeds depending on what your needs are. There will be productivity tools that will come along the program, such as online security, email server, web hosting, and share points. This would be the perfect took for the Dirt Bike organization. This program also will include your IP address, Microsoft exchange if needed, and also giving you the option to bundle your service with other providers. To go along with that I also want to introduce you a perfect intranet software package from a service provider called Intranet Dashboard. This is also a program that can be customized to your specific business needs. With this software you are able to share information such as instantly updating employee handbooks through your Human Resource that can save on distribution and printing cost. Your departments such as your accounting and payroll can exchange information online for investors, and management purposes that would greatly improve and monitor sales and production. The one feature that I feel will be beneficial to this organization with the intranet software is the ability for marketing team to exchange reports, leads, and ideas concerning ideas on dirt bikes and motorcycles designs, performance tools, and products. Production is the one area that can be increased which will cause a reduction of cost through the use of the software. With this software the design process can be instantly shared.
We have discussed the internet, intranet and the business software. Now I want to advise your company to look to utilizing into web design. This will allow also help communication, sales, productivity, and allow customers to order directly from you page. Accessibility will help improve sales due to the fact our goal is to give customers direct access to your company online with all the accompanied features. This will need to be customized so customers can order bikes, parts, and all the other accessories the Dirt Bike organization offers. The web should be offer everything to customers just as if they were inside the actual location.
With all the new software and tools implemented it is expected for your sales, customer, and profits will increase. I want to also inform you to QuickBooks. A software designed to organize your business and finances easily. With QuickBooks your organization will have the availability to track sales and expenses in one area with access to all documents needed during tax time. This software gives you a powerful email capabilities that allows you to add multiple attachments, and utilize customized emails with customers. Dirt Bikes will be able to see all banking transaction that includes tracking what vendor has been paid, what customer owes, and what the customer has not paid. This new feature is referred to as the income tracker, it puts emphasis on all of your income producing transactions including overdue invoices. With special features that can and will track bounced checks, if your establishment accepts checks. You will be able to create invoices sales, receipts, enter and pay bills.
The various programs that I have introduced to your management team at Dirt Bikes are recommended because they are customized to your establishment specific needs personally. When we glance at all the programs, databases, web-designs and all the customizable features are all tools to help increase your sales and productivity of your establishment. The internet and intranet would allow employees to become more interactive with all departments within the company. They can access and proficiently utilize emails, instant messaging and more. If Dirt Bikes is interested in increasing your sales, bring better employee interaction with staff and customers, and to improve you marketing, intranet and internets can guarantee improvements across the board. If you are considering keeping detailed records including all financial statements then as I stated earlier QuickBooks is the best route to take. I suggest web design, because online shopping is the way a lot of customers are doing their shopping, this will increase sales. All these programs are cost efficient and can be offered also with a free trials to guarantee customer satisfaction.
