Custom Web Applications
Smart business owners are always looking for ways in which they can increase their overall efficiency. Whether it's in manufacturing, information distribution, or simply data centralization, Dijital Media can develop a custom online program that helps businesses cut out inefficient processes.
The following is an example of such an application.
Scenario:
A company that sells Office Furniture has a nationwide sales force. As new Office Furniture inventories become available, this company hands that information to a single person - or an inventory management group - to categorize, disseminate and display the for their sales team to distribute. Currently, this process can take days - as the new items are photographed, described, prices attached (in some cases, multi-tiered pricing), and then distributed as a PDF. The only problem is, as inventory quantities are depleted, the sales team has to stay in constant contact to verify availability.
Solution:
Dijital Media can provide a custom web-based application that allows this company to centralize all of the above functions into a single, universally-accessible website that not only serves their internal sales team, but can have a public portion to display select information to their customers. In some instances, they may need to share information with affiliates or partners who have a different pricing structure. This can also be achieved with the Dijital Media custom application.
Simple Interface for Adding& Storing Information
The website then becomes a centralized repository for all of the information pertaining to a give inventory. A single manager or a group of managers can then add/modify/delete new inventories at their discretion. All of this can be done from a web-based interface that is tailored specifically for their products. This means that they can easily add images, text description, quantities and any other custom pertinent custom attributes.
Realtime Quantity Tracking
With special access, the sales team can simply log into this site and not only view new inventory available, but can then place quantities of this inventory on 'reserve'. As the inventory becomes reserved, the quantities are updated in realtime to reflect the currently available stock.
Information Distribution
With a few clicks, the sales team can then send details of a given product to anyone! The item can automatically be formatted into a PDF for easy distribution and reading. The sales team also has the ability to choose what information they want to send along with this item. In some instances, they may only want to send images and descriptions, leaving off quantity and price. Through the Dijital Media Web App, they can simply choose which information to include!
Team Communication
Integrated into this Web-Based application, is a private or public message board that can be used by the sales team to exchange ideas, sales leads, or any other information that may be pertinent to their company. With full RSS capabiilty, anyone with appropriate permissions can be notified instantly when a new product is published to the site!
