Speedy Hire Puts Training to Good Use
I have been reading a number of articles later on how Speedy Hire is making the use out of the internet by providing staff with specific training and thought it would be a good talking point.
Many businesses such as Speedy Hire PLC has recognised that in order to survive the economic climate (recession) they must make their business lean, efficient and open up new distribution channels. As well as helping to survive the current conditions it will ensure that they will come out fighting and when the construction and hire industry do pick up again then the company will be in the right place at the right time.
Google Analytics Training
PRWD are in experts in the field of IT and offer training on a variety of topics to Businesses. In an article that I found on the PRWD blog, the company last year provided a useful presentation on how the business could make the best out of Google Analytics. For those of you not aware of this Google program – it allows you to closely monitor the traffic to your website, this allows companies such as Speedy Hire to see whose viewing their website in a whole new way. Allowing them to find trends and patterns from how users get to their website and what they view once they’re there. Speedy Hire can use this to effectively target their market segments and prove to be a good strategic tool.
Putting to Good Use
May be as a result of finding a new trend, Speedy has developed a new sales channel online. They have setup a new arm of the Speedy empire and now sell products online under ‘Speedy Retail’. This diversification will help them spread risk and potentially increase sales revenue from targeting this new target segment.
It says on their new website that if you order before a certain time you can get your goods next day delivered. Very good for businesses who need the tools tomorrow!
Almost like they’re the Play.com of Construction!
Staying Safe
With all this growth in internet technology within Speedy you’d think that problems might arise but reading another closely linked article it doesn’t seem to be the case. Speedy have been able to recognise the importance of the internet within its infrastructure and are taking steps to becoming safe. ScanSafe in fact! – this is the new software has allowed Speedy to save on the amount of time spent on web related issues, from 10% to 1%. All signs are of an efficient Speedy Hire.
