Case Study: Custom Programming Success
Overview of Our Client's Strategy
Our client owns a flyer delivery service for real estate professionals.
Her clients had to have drop off the flyers at the printers, where
she would pick them up herself. She was driving all over town through
bad traffic to pick up print jobs.
Analysis of the Situation
The client had been trying for three years to get her web site
to work effectively. She had experienced frustration in finding
someone who understood her problem and offered a good solution.
She knew that having a usable web site would help her spend less
time in the car and more time serving her customers and making
sales. And because she used an invoicing system, she had thousands
in accounts receivable from slow-paying customers.
Implementation of a Solution
We developed a process where her customers uploaded their flyers
through the site and the print jobs were automatically sent
to a local Kinkos for printing, eliminating the need for her
and clients to drive to the print shop. We negotiated on behalf
of the client to reduce the printing price by almost 66 percent.
We also had Kinkos deliver the printing to our client. The
site also started taking credit cards.
The Results of Our Work
By implementing our process, the client was able to save herself
many hours in the car driving back and forth to the printers.
She was also able to make more money on the printing. The CTO
of Kinko was impressed that no one else in the U.S. was using
this system. Our client was also able to greatly reduce her
accounts receivables as a result of taking credit cards.
