Houston Business Locator Cecil Ureña
Overview • Business Profiles • Information on Businesses • Location (Google maps) • Hours of operation • Photos • Contact information • Customers’ viewpoint
Business Need • Small businesses in the Houston area need to make themselves known to the public in order to compete with larger businesses. • Clients need to know how and where to obtain certain services in a readily-accessible system.
Business Requirements • Web-based system • Online payment for service • Email confirmation of payment • Database for holding business profiles • Administrative login page for business owner/representative • Search capabilities using keywords for customers to find businesses
Business Value • Businesses with profiles hosted at HBL are expected to experience up to 65% growth in customer calls and services. • Customers will be able to find specific services offered by specific small businesses, making it a successful method of advertisement for these businesses.
Issues/Constraints • The system should be implemented by the end of April of 2008. • Businesses should be contacted before the system is released in order to start off with a good list of hosted profiles. • The system must be targeted to both business owners/representatives and customers of these businesses.
