Project Description
Our project aims to create an internally distributed web-based Enterprise Management System (EMS) for our client, SSH Motor Trading. The system will include key modules like inventory management module, order management module, customer management module and analytics module. The X factor of our team lies in the analytical aspect of the system. In addition, our team will like to implement part of our project using the statistical programming language R. We will document our experience with R and bring value to the IS480 community.
Motivation
The main motivation of doing this project is to implement an IT solution that would help in generating higher profits, removing inefficiencies and creating better customer experience for our client’s motor trading business.
Stakeholders
Client - Jonathan is the marketing manager of SSH Motor Trading. With the support from the senior management of the firm, he seeks to eliminate existing inefficiencies in their business process by harnessing the power of Information Technology.
Supervisor - Professor Alan Megargel
Deliverables
Outcomes - The deployment of a web-based Enterprise Management System (EMS). Value Statement - Higher profits, elimination of inefficiencies and better customer experience

We hope that by moving towards integrating Information Technology into the company will not only improve operation efficiency and effectiveness but also allow the company to have proper keeping of data. These data will enable the analytic analysis to be more precise as time progress giving the company a greater edge against it's competitors
