Markets and Ideas - Business Automation

More and more businesses are wanting additional functionality incorporated into their websites that helps them automate their businesses further.

This is perhaps best explained by way of some examples.

Recruiting Agencies

Recruiting agencies typically allow the editor to enter and manage companies (their clients) and their contact information and to enter jobs for each.

Often the fees chargeable are dependent upon the jobs currently running and these can be invoiced (automatically by the website) or even paid for online.

Job seekers typically come on line and register briefly (perhaps with just an email address and a password) and can then search for and apply to the jobs that they are interested in.

The recruiters often want to search in reverse - that is to find candidates that expressed interest in a certain type of position.

This can be automated so that when a new job is entered the website automatically emails (or sends sms texts) to applicable candidates.

The level of automation can increase even further and more and more businesses are wanting to take advantage of this.

Estate Agents

These are generally almost identical to recruiting agencies - where the companies are now property owners, the jobs are now properties and the job seekers are now prospective tenants and buyers.

It is often helpful to automate all of the matching and reporting and the sending of automated notices in the same manner as with recruiting agencies.

Project and Staff Management

I recently finished a project where a small office manages a large number of external contractors that all needed to be scheduled for different tasks each day remotely.

The office is very automated now by the website. All scheduling and project management and staff management and client invoicing is managed by the website.

Nearly any Industry

Nearly any industry can be automated significantly - and there is also the advantage that managers and staff can work from anywhere since it is all online.
