...Kudler Fine Foods Kudler Fine Foods (KFF) is looking to develop a system to track customer purchases in order to identify purchasing behavior patterns. They hope to use the information gathered to refine the company's processes and offerings to best satisfy the needs of their valued customers. Management has decided to approach this initiative is through the implementation of a frequent shopper program. Traditional programs of this sort would not begin to satisfy the sophisticated senses of Kudler's elite customer base; as a result, a decision has been made to partner with a loyalty points program that will provide rewards points to customers that can be redeemed for high-end gifts and upgrades. System Requirements Gathering During the initial stage of development, it is imperative to gather enough information to be able to accurately describe the system requirements. The first step is to determine the scope of the project based upon the objective outlined in the request. The next step would be to identify those that have a vested interest in the proposed new system. Once this information is known the project can be divided into modules and tasks can be assigned. Scope The deliverable for this project is to create a business/systems requirement document for the development of the frequent shopper program system to track the purchases of individual customers. The project should make use of the existing system when possible and develop enhancements, where necessary, to provide...

The name of the business will be DigiBox!! Proposal As a small business we will need to incorporate certain information systems so we can optimize capital growth, establish a smoothly run more efficient workplace, and execute processes better than our competitors. Over the past decade business information management has gone through a significant change that allows small business owners to operate at a corporate capacity in more ways than one with software that is designed for people who have limited knowledge with IT systems. There are several different types of information systems, yet not all of them would be applicable to the type of business we are looking to run. I therefore propose we focus on and...

...Green Systems, Inc. Mobile sales tablet proposal Charles Brooks, Willy Almazan, Nathan Gass, Christian Hawkins, Matthew Chau University of Phoenix CIS/207 11/06/2012 The Mobile sales tablet by Green Systems Inc is an amazing solution to the retail experience. By putting the mobility in employees’ hands to walk around and spend the entire experience with the customer it creates more of a bond that that customer will remember the next time they want to purchase. Employees can look up a multitude of things with the mobile devices and save time from having to do price checks, stock checks, and looking for product information. Employees are freed up to do other tasks they might not have been able to accomplish if they were stuck to a register. And the devices have many more applications for use than just that. Mobile device payment offers a way to inexpensively change the way your business develops. By removing the costly register systems and switching everything over to mobile units you free up space in the store that otherwise would have been taken up by registers, lines, and “in a hurry” Customers. Now we go to them. They don’t have to come to us. We bring not only our own knowledge in our heads, but so much more. With a few other additions to this system we can change the way retail is done. Not a moment is wasted to build an excellent customer relationship that keeps that customer coming back every time. Welcome to The Mobile Sales Tablet. In This proposal we will be discussing...

...Critical Information Systems Lance Kaea Carson BSA 310 May 15, 2011 Rich Harrell Critical Information Systems An Information System is an organizations framework for efficiency, productivity, and functionality. It “is a collection of hardware, software, data, people and procedures that are designed to generate and disseminate information and data that supports the activities of an organization” (International Graduate, 2011). Kudler Fine Foods is an organization specializing in providing domestic and imported sustenance to consumers. This paper clarifies an information system critical to their business process and examines how this system has an effect on the organization’s intricate structure. Information Systems Information systems used by organizations often follow a “traditional hierarchical structure” (Turban & Volonino, 2010. p.42). The structure commonly consists of seven functional types (1) Personal and Productivity Systems, (2) Transaction Processing Systems, (3) Functional and Management Information Systems, (4) Enterprise Systems, (5) Inter-organizational Systems, (6) Global Systems, and (7) Special Systems. Each category plays an essential role in the overall function of an organization when utilized. The development of an application program is used to execute or support a specific organization task or business process through the use of that information system. Although system types and applications can be independent of each other, most...

...process for a major procurement such as a Contracting Writing system is to determine the requirements of the procurement. Engelbeck( 2002), states “It is a fundamental policy that all government requirements are based on a need that is tied to a mission.” FAR 7.105 lists the requirements of a written acquisition plan and states, in part: “Introduce the plan by a brief statement of need. Summarize the technical and contractual history of the acquisition. Discuss feasible acquisition alternatives, the impact of prior acquisitions on those alternatives, and any related in-house effort.” In this case, the need is to improve an existing capability within the Department of Agriculture, since they already write proposals and contract to support agency needs. The technical history of the acquisition would consist of information about how the need was identified and why the procurement is needed. For example, perhaps a review of the contracting system at the Department of Agriculture suggested that overall contracting costs could be reduced by automating the proposal and contract writing function. The statement of need would also contain information about any alternatives considered and explain why this acquisition was selected to fill the need. Since the Department of Agriculture is currently writing contracts and proposals, the acquisition team can review the system being used currently and use the information gathered as a framework for developing the requirements for this...

...CHAPTER 2: LOGISTICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 2-1. In what ways can information be helpful in logistics and supply-chain management? There are a number of ways in which information can be helpful in logistics and supply-chain management. These include, but are not limited to, greater knowledge and visibility across the supply chain, which makes it possible to replace inventory with information; greater awareness of customer demand via point-of-sale data, which can help improve planning and reduce variability in the supply chain; better coordination of manufacturing, marketing, and distribution through enterprise resource planning systems; streamlined order processing and reduced lead times enabled by coordinated logistics information systems. 2-2. Name the six general types of information systems, and give one logistics application for each one that you’ve named. One type is office automation systems, and a logistics application could be spreadsheets that calculate optimal order quantities. A second is communication systems; one logistics example is voice-based order picking. Transaction processing systems are a third general type, with point-of-sale systems being a logistics application. Management and executive information systems are a fourth general type of information systems; a logistics application involves logistics information systems. A fifth general type of information system is decision support systems, with warehouse management systems being a logistics-related...

...to launch a shopper rewards program. These types of systems are very common in most grocery store chains around the world offering discounts on in store products, however KFF is determined to cater to the demographic of their shoppers by taking this program a step further. The system specific to KFF needs includes a reward points system designed to provide the customer exclusive offers on both in store products and with third party partners. This system will be designed to store customer data while providing reward points to be used for purchases both in-store and with third party partners. Reward points will be redeemable for fine foods, first class airline upgrade, high end gifts, and other items and bonuses of that nature. Points will be rewarded in increments based on money spent on purchases within the store in which the customer provides a reward card or number to reference (phone #) during checkout process. Since this system will be collecting customers’ personal information, it is imperative that potential issues are addressed prior to the implementation of this system. In order to open a rewards account a customer will need to provide personal data such as phone numbers, and home/email addresses. Due to the sensitivity of this data and the protection of the customer in mind, considerations need to be made making the customer aware of the intended use of this data. It will be important that the information regarding the use of this data is clearly stated on...

Instances of a CRM attempting to contain a large, complex group of data can become cumbersome and difficult to understand for an ill-trained user. Additionally, an interface that is difficult to navigate or understand can hinder the CRM’s effectiveness, causing users to pick and choose which areas of the system to be used, while others may be pushed aside. This fragmented implementation can cause inherent challenges, as only certain parts are used and the system is not fully functional...
