Effortless online trading
If you've got a permanent connection to the web in your workplace you can set up systems that link your internal purchasing function to the systems of your suppliers. This means that when you get an order or when you need new materials the two systems communicate orders, check stock, schedule shipping and exchange payment completely automatically. All this makes purchasing easier and puts complex functions in the hands of even the smallest business.
Doesn't seem relevant to your business? Think again. For example, such a system could be used in a car mechanic's workshop in the following way: when the mechanic takes on a job he enters the details into a pre-built form on his PC. Within the form are all the relevant details… make of car, part needed etc. When he hits Enter the system takes over, directing the order to the relevant supplier if the part is not already one in stock. From here the supplier's system takes over arranging delivery and billing automatically and saving the mechanic time and resource.
All this gives the businessman more time to get out there doing the jobs that make money rather than getting bogged down in the admin. Simple isn't it?
