Web Based Becoming Home Base
The field of play today is vastly different from what it used to
be, dynamic programs tracking customers, products, potential
customers, product availability vs demand and a plethora of like
information have staked their claim and they are not going away.
This type of on demand information really drives a majority of
the business out there.
Powerful management systems among large corporations, chains
etc, are tied into every system and are used by every employee,
from the stock yard to the board room vastly integrated huge and
complicated management systems make up the central nervous
system of the conglomerate. These systems to larger companies
have become literally indispensable, in-fact companies that for
logistical reasons were consigned to a limited growth potential
and a tight profit margin are experiencing unprecedented growth
as they have realized the benefits of their management systems.
If you have ever managed multiple chains or offices you know
that standardization is key. Equally key is the ability to keep
your finger on the profitability pulse of each location. One
cannot afford to wait a month or more to find out that a
particular location is struggling in some regard. Even in a
single location operation if pertinent information goes unseen
or underutilized the result may very well be you going out of
business. Any start up business will experience a narrow or
non-existent profit margin. Small bits of operational
information as well as customer trends become vastly important
to the start up company.
Just to give you a simple example, I used to go to lunch every
day with a large group of friends, and we always went to the
same location because we were hooked on the coulua pork and rice
lunch special, it was divine. However word spread and the little
place became packed at lunch time. Normally this would have been
great but the cook was a traditional Hawaiian cook and refused
to make more that one pig at a time, therefore the big draw item
would run out quickly and instead of meeting demand the cook
would encourage patrons to choose another delicious item from
the menu. Unfortunately the little place was out of business in
a month. This may seem like a no-brainer but when you are not
watching, even something as simple as a menu favorite could hit
you hard when you are already reeling.
Behind every successful business there is a complete and
functional management system. The system my not be computerized
but it will always exist, even if it consists of the
owner
spending every waking moment at his/her establishment knowing
every detail of every transaction. This system has worked since
the first entrepreneur squeezed a bunch of grapes and traded the
juice to his neighbor for some cheese. But the mom and pop
organization is not just competing against another mom and pop,
they are also competing with a variety of supper stores. You
must maximize your strengths and minimize your weaknesses. If
you want to grow, and in most cases if you want to survive, you
will need an effective and well designed management system.
A lot of businesses including very large businesses are caught
flat footed during market shift and their management system is
incapable of rapid change. I can't tell you how many times I
have heard business owners tell me that they have put hundreds
of thousands of dollars into their management system and they
are going to make it work. They would rather higher multiple
personnel to input data into an extinct dinosaur of a program
rather than update to a cheaper dynamic system that can easily
grow with the company and save them more money the larger they
get instead of having to put awkward and expensive bandages on
systems that have no foundation to support the future.
The United States steel industry is a great example of stagnant
technological growth actually killing an entire industry. That
mentality of pay me today and let tomorrow take care of itself,
has closed down many WWII spawned steel plants. Other counties
including Japan have newer and much more efficient steel
production methods, while our plants use literally the same
equipment used when they opened for business. By the time profit
loss forced them to look at newer manufacturing methods the cost
to retool was impossible under their waning profit margins.
I personally feel that the web based management system will
replace other more ridged platforms. The web based system
answers so many of the growth issue questions. The vary nature
of the web based system is indicative to growth and change.
Monthly, weekly, even moment to moment system updates can be
accomplished from a central location and is instantaneous for
all users. There is not going to be system down time or
expensive hardware and software upgrades involving multiple
computers at many locations. The information age is firmly upon
us, dinosaur systems will go extinct and smart companies will
not follow their system into extinction.
