 Pertracker Flexibility
How - New Businesses
As a new start-up business, or a business that you are about to start, the Pertracker's various elements will provide you with all the tools necessary to develop your business.
If you are about to launch a new business, you can source suppliers, find new customers and start to network within the business community at a time convenient to you - 24/7. Reduce any personal financial risk by continuing working for an employer, earning a wage whilst you develop your own business in your own time. Once the Pertracker system has found your suppliers and generated sales you can start your business full time with more confidence.
Alternatively, the Pertracker is ideal for a side-line or part-time business, generating activity for your business without the need to answer phones, emails etc. throughout the working day.
The Pertracker will also support members with advice and guidelines in the business forums section, covering all aspects of business and commercial topics. You may also search for individuals, by job title and company, and approach them for any support or help you may need with your new business venture.
Create your own email marketing campaigns and RSS feeds using the simple but effective broadcasting tools, and start to generate your own database of recipients (or more importantly potential new business leads). Alerts will warn you whenever you need to write your next newsletter or RSS feed to ensure you maintain continuity for your recipients. Marketing white papers provide tips and tricks on how to execute effective marketing campaigns.
'Sprat to catch a mackerel?' Offer a low-cost product or service for free, for potential clients to sample your services. This gives you an opportunity to prove your quality and reliability and be considered as a future supplier.
How - Small-Medium Sized Enterprises
Most SME managers or owners don't have enough hours in the day, and are always in need of new clients. The Pertracker system can take care of your purchasing, sales, marketing and recruitment commitments, allowing you to manage each sector at a time that suits you - 10 minutes of an evening or a weekend when you are relaxed and off the treadmill!
View sales leads advertised by buyers looking for your product or service, and simply submit your price. You will also have the benefit of viewing any competitor's prices that have been submitted. The sales section also gives you the opportunity to ask the buyer questions to ensure you are quoting like-for-like.
Reduce your costs by entering your regular or one-off purchases for any business service or commodity. Potential suppliers can then start to submit their prices for your perusal. As the purchasing section is anonymous, you won't be taking numerous calls or visits from sales representatives, or feel obliged to accept any of the submitted prices - you can use the purchasing system purely for research purposes to ensure your current supplier is giving you a good deal. If you do nominate a supplier, your contact details will be automatically revealed to that company for them to contact you direct to finalise the arrangement outside of the Pertracker environment.
Create regular email broadcasts and RSS feeds - keep in touch with your current customers and prospects. Timer features will warn you each time a broadcast or RSS feed is due to maintain continuity for your recipients.
As a member of Pertracker, you can advertise any number of job vacancies which will be automatically displayed on our job site, 'The Jobstracker'. The vacancy facility enables you to receive cv's and jobseeker details, accept, refuse or short-list candidates without the need to speak to them - the system sends auto updates to each candidate depending on your decision. You can then contact your successful applicants to arrange interviews etc.
If your company has various departments and management, you can issue each person with their own login details to access your member pages on the Pertracker facility to manage their various roles.
Once a member of the Pertracker facility, your company profile, links to your website and email address can be accessed by all registered companies to view and contact you. Others can add remarks to your company profile and offer a rating from a 1-5 scale (you can remove any unwanted remarks from your profile). A high rating, and good remarks from others regarding your service will help you achieve a higher rating in the directory lists, plus give your potential customers more confidence to buy from you.
Offer a low-cost product or service for free, for potential clients to sample your services. This gives you an opportunity to prove your quality and reliability and be considered as a future supplier. Alternatively, take advantage of the free services on offer from other companies.

How - Large Organisations
As a large organisation, the Pertracker system can help source suppliers and products without revealing your identity - we all know a new purchase enquiry in the marketplace can result in numerous calls and visits from over-eager sales representatives. Potential suppliers can quote for your purchase requirements in an 'auction style' environment whilst you sit back and watch the bids coming in. Once your purchase enquiry has expired, you can then select a supplier (if any), and contact them direct for final negotiations outside of the Pertracker system. As more than one supplier may be following your enquiry, you can also ask if your specification is suitable, or if any cheaper alternatives are available. Taking advice from a number of different suppliers, rather than one will give you more options to decide from (if a cheaper alternative is applicable).
Manage all of your recruitment needs by advertising any number of one-off or re-occurring vacancies to a wide range in jobseekers. Interested candidates will apply for your vacancy through our sister site, The Jobs Tracker, with a one-click application. You will then receive their introductory comments, history, profile, CV and contact details. As you can advertise more than one vacancy at a time, the Pertracker recruitment system will store all applicants within the same file as your vacancy, so you know who has applied for which job. You can then start to segregate each applicant into short-list, rejected, or approved files. Every time you move an application into a file, a polite automated message will be sent to the candidate advising of your action - no need for you to contact or update anyone.
The marketing sections of Pertracker can store email addresses and contact details for employees, customers and newsletter subscribers. Use the email broadcasting tool to send company updates and newsletters to each relevant party.
Ask for advice on products or services using the Pertracker forums - get unbiased feedback from knowledgeable individuals on all business topics.
Looking for a new product or supplier? - review the 'Free Offers' to see if any suppliers are offering free products, services or consultation on your requirement. This gives you an opportunity to evaluate any potential suppliers, sampling their work for free before you make any commitment.
