Prototype of software as a service for building furniture commerce

KATAROV, ANTONIO (author), Rupnik, Rok (mentor)

This bachelor’s thesis describes a prototype software as a service for companies who sell building furniture and want to revolutionize and drastically improve the classic offer generation process. We go through an existing solution and propose a transition from a customized information system to Software as a service (SaaS). This system includes a web application where the customer can create an informative offer with all of the provided products from a company, after which the sales representative in the company can review this inquiry in another web application and contact the customer and – if needed – send an on-site worker to check the place for additional services (exact measurements, extensions, trims, etc.). The former can open the offer in the mobile application and edit it accordingly before the final offer is presented to the customer and sent to their email. By using this solution, the companies send out final offers to the customer three times faster than they would with their standard methods.

• Title: Prototip programske opreme kot storitve za prodajo stavbnega pohištva

Abstract

Diplomska naloga opisuje prototip programske opreme kot storitev za podjetja, ki prodajajo stavbno pohištvo in želijo revolucionarno in drastično izboljšati klasičen postopek generiranja ponudb. Pregledamo obstoječo rešitev in predlagamo prehod iz prilagojenega informacijskega sistema na programsko opremo kot storitev (Ang. SaaS). Ta sistem vključuje spletno aplikacijo, s katero si lahko kupec sam ustvari informativno ponudbo z vsemi produkti podjetja, po kateri lahko prodajni predstavnik v podjetju to pregleda v drugi spletni aplikaciji, kontaktira na stranko in po potrebi pošlje zaposlenega na samo lokacijo, da preveri lokacijo za dodatne storitve (natančne meritve, razširitve, obloge itd.). Ponudnik lahko ponudbo odpre v mobilni aplikaciji in jo ustrezno uredi, preden je končna ponudba predstavljena kupcu in poslana na njihov elektronski naslov. Podjetja s to rešitvijo kupcu pošljejo končne ponudbe v primerjavi s standardnimi metodami trikrat hitreje.
