On the Horizon

I am always adding new tools and retiring old ones. Here is a list of some of the tools on the horizon and existing tools that need updating.

Shopping Cart/E-commerce

Ideal For: anyone who needs to sell things online and who thinks other out-of-the-box solutions are too cluttered and confusing.

Front End: the "Front End" (what the user sees) will be very similar to Amazon where you can search or drill down by category.

Back End: the store owner will manage categories and items, setup payment and shipping options, and be able to pull reports on all transactions.

Scheduling Tool

Ideal For: business owners in need of a way to schedule tasks for employees and (eventually) track expenses.

Front End: The "Front End" (what's visible to web users) will be the Calendar Tool. Each day will be clickable for the end user to sign up for a "job".

Back End: The business owner will manage the types of jobs, block days on the calendar that are unavailable, schedule clients, and (eventually) track expenses for each job.

Enhancements: For phase 2 I'd like to integrate an invoice and pay-online solution 

Time Tracker Tool

Ideal For: business owners looking for a way to manage timecards and submit employee timesheets to 3rd party payroll services.

Front End: Employees can log in at any time to enter their time either by start and end time or by the amount of hours they worked.

Back End: Employers will import employees, setup job types and time entry settings, and review/approve/submit employee entries to payroll services.

Survey Tool (retired)

This tool needs a bit of updating to work with the shared Lead/User table.

Ideal For: anyone who frequently polls their audience. I use this tool a lot to poll members of my non-profit organization.

Newsletter/eMarketing Tool (retired)

Ideal For: frequent email marketers who re-use the same email template but aren't comfortable editing HTML code. Once a template is setup in the application the administrator just has to fill in the content areas with content then click a button to get the code.
