Nimbus Consulting has a depth of industry expertise and experience and offer a robust, hands on range of services that enable companies to assess, plan and grow their businesses. This is done through innovation and development of a clear competitive advantage.
Nimbus believes the future of technology to support the strategic direction of a company is based on an All In One methodology. A fully integrated platform that can seamlessly evolve in line with the changing needs of customers and suppliers. One customer described our solution as a “game changer and puts us ahead of the competition.” Nimbus endeavours to lead in the development and implementation of cloud based e-commerce solutions to provide SME’s with equivalent technology power as corporates.
With a clear understanding of the “Now” position of the business and the willingness and commitment to grow sales and profitability, a strategic planning program is designed to accommodate the particular needs of the company. Commencing with the setting of a Vision and subsequent competitive advantage, a blue print is developed with the management team along with a fully costed robust action plan encompassing all operational areas of the business. Nimbus has the resources to support the company with the implementation of the blue print over an agreed period.
Technology is impacting the way we do business, personally and commercially and is a vital element in supporting the growth of a business. Nimbus is at the leading edge of cloud based solutions and has developed and built dynamic eCommerce platforms for a number public and private companies, large and small. A fundamental plank in Nimbus’ mantra, is the development and delivery of world’s best technology platforms that are affordable and easy to use for SME’s in a number of key industry sectors.
Understanding the market dynamics and customer needs is a critical component of the strategic planning process and tactical activities that need to be undertaken to support the growth plans of the company. Nimbus utilises qualitative and quantitative methods to achieve an outcome that allows companies to fully appreciate the options for achieving growth.
An objective review of a business allows a company to fully appreciate its strengths and weaknesses, allowing a “Now” position to be clearly understood by all stakeholders. This is a vital activity to be undertaken as a precursor to a robust strategic planning program.
Nimbus Cloud solutions provide SME’s with a system that is truly All-In-One and from one provider; wholly owned by Nimbus. That is, a system from the time a customer requests a quote, job is agreed and scheduled, staff allocated, to ordering the requirements from the distributor whose catalogue, logistics and promotional programs are integrated into our system, provides a bill of material and delivery manifest right through to the completion of the job, invoicing, payment through to the full accounting system and reconciliation. No need for stand-alone quoting and estimating tools, inventory management, payroll, staff management, accounting or project/job planning packages. All cloud based, no cost for upgrades and generous multi-user allowances.
Nimbus is a team of experienced, designers and architects all of whom have a wealth of industry knowledge and an intimate understanding of the way in which tradespeople (single, small /medium operators through to corporates) run their respective businesses. Our solutions also have in mind the need for businesses to increase sales and profitability.
The other Unique Selling Point is a system that has been developed and implemented with the customer in mind. Ease of operation, cost effective, customer facing with an effective customer relationship management program.
When implementing Nimbus cloud solutions for a range of businesses in various industry sectors, we have found common issues or hurdles that impact the effective installation and use of Nimbus technology. These include PC’s, lap tops, tablets, scanners/printers, workshop TV screens, mobile technology, security/surveillance and related peripherals that are not adequate or fit for purpose. We have partnered with JB Hi-Fi, the leading retailer in Australia and New Zealand to fill this need in a convenient and cost effective manner. Workshops and trade based business can access an on line and ordering catalogue via Manage Your Workshop (MYW) and Manage Your Trade (MYT) and be assured of corporate pricing, high levels of service and installation if required.
The migration from a limited technology base, i.e. an accounting package, to an All-In-One solution, can be difficult if the business has poor data quality and inability for their current provider to transfer their data. This is not usually an issue for the accounting packages, but has been for some of the systems that are being used today, a number of which are not cloud based and/or do not have the capacity for change. Nimbus makes a full assessment of current use and data quality and can provide assistance to rectify or best manage these situations for a favourable outcome.
Skills assessment and delivery of the required training program. This also includes seminars and workshops that may be conducted internally or externally with the option of customer engagement. Nimbus solutions has a “Tech Resources” channel built into MYW/MYT where users can access up to the minute videos on all vital aspects of the programs as well as new products.
The team at Nimbus comprise leading consultants in the fields of technology and marketing and have the ability to sit down with management to work out cost effective ways of increasing revenue and developing the customer base.
