Mabco

Appeals Management For A Client In the Banking & Finance Industry

The client is a prominent player in the banking and finance industry and has approached Laitkor for a solution to take off the burden of the cumbersome 'appraisal tracking.' Until then, appraisal tracking has been taken care of through numerous documents and an elaborate filing system primarily using an MS Excel based indigenous data and information organizing system. With the growth in business and the subsequent increase in the number of Appraisals, this ‘indigenous’ system started becoming unmanageable. Hence, came up the need for a sophisticated and fast appraisal tracking and appeals management system.

The team has given the client a complete panel for appeals management whereby the application efficiently maintains and manages the complete details of both the Owner and Contact Person.

The appeals management application with the functionality of appeals tracking is to be installed on the LAN and the entire office users will be having an access to it through a private address. The designated server would also be managing all the files associated with the appraisals and will be supervised and managed in a secure setup by an experienced IT engineer who would be taking all the precautions for data security and recovery in case of any failure. The server would be set to take up backups every night and a full-fledged disaster recovery process would be set in place.

3. Product for best-deal selection

The internet technologies’ team at Laitkor has hands-on experience in Web2.0 and e-Commerce. The product has been designed to help both businesses and consumers. While businesses can expand their customer base, consumers get to enjoy the advantage of getting the best deals or discounts while making a purchase.

The sign-up is free and once registered the users get email updates on the daily deals directly rather than getting to the site everyday to have the same information. Enrolling for a deal is easy requiring no payment whatsoever. It is only when the deal is over does the amount get automatically deducted from the user’s account.

To encourage that users bring in (invite by reference) friends and relatives and increase the market potential for businesses, there is a scheme for accumulation of credits with every reference that joins in.

The product is integrated to two key functionality platforms:

1. Partnership or Affiliate Center: This is open to every business that is utilizing the best deal selection product platform. The offers can be set up all by the merchants themselves and the admin would set the date/time for the offer to be active. Through this center, businesses can promote themselves through their deals to the online users.

2. Coupon Offers: This brings in the unique aspect of the coupon site into picture by displaying all the offers on the site on to the platform. The specialty of these deals is that the users need not wait until the group-buying conditions get fulfilled in order to benefit from the incredible “Buy Now” deals offer a discount of 50%-95%.

With an easy to maneuver administration panel, the product is an absolute success with both businesses and end consumers. The site compares heavy discounts to the original price and if the minimum required is not achieved, the deal automatically expires and all the money would be refunded. Though it is definitely a great promotional tool to gain new customers, merchants are charged only when actual sales are generated. Since the volumes are quite high due to the wide online reach, no other advertising model can rival this best-deal engine in terms of cash flow into a business.

There is a greater scope of gaining social media and network members as people would love to hit the ‘like’ or ‘follow’ button with respect to businesses that offer great deals.

Because of all these advantages, the best-deal selection engine helps businesses in reducing their advertising budget. This makes businesses utilize the saved budget to release another group deal rather than the traditional local ads. This definitely has a better customer conversion rate than a regular ad.
