INSERT AN APPROPRIATE TITLE HERE
INTRODUCTION
Today most people have too many cards in their wallets including membership cards, bank
cards, ID etc. Therefore, people spend too much time trying to find the right card for certain
purposes. Our solution is create a new system called Exec Card which combines all of
ones card information into this card system and links it to the different servers. That way
people dont need to carry a thick wallet around or even more than one.
3. BUSINESS SECTION
3.1 Vision
We aim to be the only card in your wallet.
3.2 Industry Analysis: Smart card Industry
Industry: Smart Card Industry
Force: High/Low: Justification:
Buyer power: High The buyer power is high because it has many
competitors in the market. Customers have the
choice to the company that can fulfil their needs.
For example, Coin is a competitor in this industry.
(Coin, 2014)
Supplier power: Low The supplier power is low because there are
many suppliers for card materials, and software
supporters for this industry. Therefore,
companies have the choice to choose the lowest
price supplier. For example, ABnote is a
manufacturer campany for making smart cards.
(Abnote, 2014)

Threat of new entrants: High
The threat of new entrants is high. For example,
MIFARE is a NXPs series of chips widely used in
smart cards; this is easy and low cost to set up a
new smart card system. (NXP, 2014)
Threat of substitutes: High
The threat of substitutes is high, this is because
cash is the substitute for EFTPOS cards, and keys
and biometrics are the substitute for doors access
control. For example, Accurate Biometrics is a
service corporation providing fingerprint-based
background checks to agencies and
organizations. (Accurate Biometrics, 2014)
Rivalry among existing
competitors:
High
The rivalry among existing competitors is high
because there are many competitors in the
market. They all offer different prices to
customers. CardSmart Technologies is an
example, they provide identity management
and loyalty marketing CRM etc. (CardSmart
Technologies, 2013)
Overall attractiveness of the industry: Although the supplier power is low, the other forces
in this industry are high and this outweigh the low supplier power. Businesses in this
industry are at high risk of going under or not being sustainable, thus making this industry
unattractive.
3.3 Customers and Thei r Needs
Exec Card is for someone who has many cards in their wallet. Too many membership
cards, ID cards and EFTPOS cards in a wallet will result in a thick wallet. In the membership
loyalty program, points are awarded when the customer makes a purchase. If they forget to
bring that particular card, they will miss out on the points. (Thorin Klosowski, 2013)
3.4 The Product and Service
The idea of Exec Card is to link all the cards that customers have and replace them with just
one card which can enter different servers. This process can reduce the number of cards in
peoples wallets and customers can use the membership information while the payment
transaction is processing.
3.5 Suppliers and Partners
This industrys suppliers are software supporters and card materials. For software
supporters, they design the system, do the testing and provide IT support. For card
materials, they are doing card design and manufacturing the cards.

This industrys partners are shops and banks. For shops, their membership cards can link to
our server. For banks, they have credit cards, debit cards and EFTPOS cards which can link to
our server to build up a strong network.
3.6 Strategy: Cost Leadership
Exec Card is a concept of linking all the cards into one system to decrease the number of
cards and the time of processing. There are similar systems in the market, so it is set in a
broad market.
Exec Card is a system linking different card servers. All card servers are built already, so it
does not cost much to create and run this system, thus making it a low cost strategy.
Therefore the overall strategy is Cost Leadership.
3.7 Value Chain Activity: Deliver the product or service
The most important value chain activity for this business is Deliver the product or service.
The concept of Exec Card is linking all the cards into one system and our vision is to be the
only card in peoples wallet. Therefore we try to provide this new system as a choice, where
customers can design which solution is the best for their needs. The reason we develop this
system to our customers is to make their lives easier. Also, in the broad market the low cost
strategy can allow more people to afford this service.
3.8 Business Processes
3.8.1. CUSTOMER ORDER PROCESS - The customer order process shows how we take
customers orders. First of all, when we receive the customer order, the information will go
to Sales Department and Customer Orders System. Then the business needs to make a
decision whether the customer has paid or not. If they have paid we need to ask the next
question, Did the customer give an address? If they have then we ship the order,
otherwise we need to ask them to provide the address. If the customer has not paid
however, we need to ask, Does the customer still want to purchase? Then if the customer
is still willing to purchase the product they have to pay the fees, if not, the process will end.

3.8.2. CUSTOMER PAYMENT PROCESS - The customer payment process shows how we
receive the monthly payment fees. First of all, we collect the information from Sales
Department and Customer Database to identify the customers and send an invoice. Then
the business needs to check whether they received the payment or not. If they have

received one, they will keep providing the service. If they have not received one, they need
to ask, Does the customer still want to use the service? Then if the customer is still willing
to use it then they have to pay the fees, if not, the business will cancel the service. The
process will end.

3.10 Systems

3.10. 1. CUSTOMER ORDER SYSTEM Customer Order System is recording orders from
customers, so each time a customer places an order the customer order system records it.
That way we know how many Exec cards we need to supply to our customers.
3.10. 2. CUSTOMER PAYMENT SYSTEM Customer Payment System is sending invoices to
customers and checking if the business received the fees from customers or not. It also
manages fees from customers.
3.10. 3. INVENTORY CHECKING SYSTEM Inventory Checking System is checking the raw
material in the business. Each time a customer places an order, the system will check if the
business has enough material to make the cards, if not the system will order the material.
