Online Segment/ STORE FRONT Online Segment: We have created a website that allows our customers the ability to order a NO TRY DRY and have it delivered at their door step. Our website is very easy to navigate around so the process to order our product online is very hassle free. Our goal is to share our product all over domestically and internationally. All of our shipments will come out of our store that is located in New York City. Store Front: We thought that the main group of people that we wanted to target was college students living in small apartments in NYC. So the location that we thought would fit best would be just a few blocks from New York University. We will have a small store but a great location!

Our primary customer demographic are single income households. Since we only have one store we have chosen to locate it in New York City because there is the largest college student population there (Florida, 2016), one of our major customer demographics. Our primary customer demographic are single income households. Busy people that need a quick way to get dishes clean and dry. Households with no dishwashers. Example: college students in dorms Our online customer base will also target college students, but will reach out to a wider demographic-people who value time and see that using this product will save time. We also hope to really target international households because a lot of homes and apartments overseas don’t have room for dishwashers making them perfect candidates for the NO TRY DRY.

Strategies Online segment: We would like to promote our website by advertising on Facebook and Twitter to the millennials in the local area. We will also display ads in the local newspaper as well as the university newspapers about our website and product . If our customers purchase online certain times during the year they will receive free shipping and handling. International customers: We think the best way to promote our product internationally would be through television infomercials.

For the first month that we are open we plan on giving away a four piece set of dishes with every purchase.

Purpose of No Try Dry What does your business do? You should provide at least 1-2 slides with detailed information about the purpose of your business and what it does (think about who your customers are, what are your products and services, what are you doing that stands out from the competition, how did you get started, etc.) (You should have this from the previous assignment but may need to add more).

ERP System The name of our ERP is E2 Shop System. The vendor is Shoptech Corporation We debated on whether or not to use a CRM because we want to make sure that our customers are satisfied with their experience with us. However, since we are a product that customers should only have to buy once, we figured that ensuring that our production and ordering systems were organized should be our focus. That is why we chose to use an ERP. We figure our customers will be most satisfied if we make the ordering and shipping process as simple as it can be and in order for it to be simple, we must be organized on our end.

What Other Companies Use the E2 Shop System: We noticed that a lot of small businesses (1-100 employees) use this product which is the perfect fit for our business. Examples of these businesses are: -Miraco Inc. -Jersey Microwave -Woodlawn Rubber Co. -Metal Locking Service Inc. (Software Advice, 2016) Detail of the system What the E2 Shop System Does: The E2 shop system focuses on horizontally integrating businesses. It integrates -Estimating -Orders -Purchasing -Scheduling -Data Collection -Quality Control -Shipping -Accounting E2 Shop System Distinguishing Features of the E2 Shop System: E2 is used specifically for companies that are heavy on the manufacturing side. We want to ensure that our orders are processed quickly and able to be shipped quickly which is a heavy emphasis of this ERP product. Also there is a strong mobile component to this product (Shoptech, 2016). As executives we will be able to access information about our company’s performance wherever we are. That mobility is vital to us and it is a unique benefit of this product. Other Information: The E2 system also prints shipping labels for you and it also tracks your shipments (Software Advice, 2016). This will be big for us especially because we want to have a large international market.

Information on our plan Information on how you plan to use the system selected (either the CRM, ERP or SCM) in your business

Pros When core processes are fully assimilated and condensed, the risk of wasting time and money in various departments within a company is eliminated. In other words, phasing out miscommunication problems means phasing out unnecessary or duplicated projects. Automating any number of processes by integrating an ERP system into your business significantly reduces the amount of money, time and manpower previously wasted when such processes demanded human attention. As a result of using small business ERP systems, both large and small businesses benefit by the automated activities that improves deployment of new and existing information while reducing the cost of manually maintaining information systems.

Cons Moving data from an existing system to an ERP system may require additional money, time and resources, especially for businesses that are severely decentralized and have been operating on an unstable foundation. Initial implementation of ERP systems can be difficult and time consuming. Unless project teams slated to establish an ERP system within their company do not completely understand all aspects of the system and how total automation will modify the structure of the business, the business is at high risk for failing to benefit from an ERP.

Cost $4995.00/One Time Reviews suggest that there is a maintenance fee that is incurred when there are updates to the the system (Software Advice, 2016) Cost of the specific CRM, ERP or SCM system you chose (when conducting your research, you will notice that costs may be per month, per user, per year, etc. - be sure to indicate which)
