Database Flow Of Information

Our clients come from a diverse set of business environments each with their own unique needs. We specialize in creating web applications that suite each business situation. In one example of this our client was collecting daily sales data from 13 stores around the state of Colorado via faxed in forms filled out by store managers. The forms were then entered into Excel spreadsheets by the corporate receptionist and printed out for review. This took away time from the person at the corporate front desk and made cumulative data very hard to analyze. We then replicated this form on a secure extranet site that can be accessed by all store managers 24 hours a day.

Some key features of this application include:

  • Complete online administration that allows our client to create new store managers, grant or change security levels, view or edit sales data entered, and print complete reports of daily or cumulative sales divided by store, area, and total.
  • Store managers are guided through the form on what data is expected and limited to the time frame the can enter data for daily sales.
For example, our client can log in from any where in the world and view the daily sales totals for all their stores. They can also post messages and documents that all store managers need to see.

Instead of looking through spreadsheets and waiting for them to be compiled, now our client only needs to fill out this form for a complete daily report:

Store managers logging into the site can only enter sales information for that day and can also view the sales totals for all areas.

Here is what our client had to say:

To Whom It May Concern:

We have used the services of I-point Tech for a couple of years now, ever since we set up a server and DSL in our office. At the recommendation of another company, we originally tried to set up a Virtual Private Network (VPN) from a remote location. The network was too slow. At Ipoint Tech's suggestion, we changed our VPN server into a secure web server using Ipoint Tech's services to develop a daily financial data system for our franchise of 18 Domino's Pizza stores.

Now store management logs on to our extranet web server via dial-up Internet to enter daily numbers, review reports and download information that helps them run their stores. We have even expanded the web server to accommodate additional information used by our stores related to marketing and operations as well as finance.

Ipoint Tech's staff was a great support in setting up and helping us run our web services on an ongoing basis. I heartily recommend Ipoint Tech to anyone needing help with Internet and networking services.
