We constantly listen to issues faced by our clients and two of the greatest are

1. The need to cut costs; and
2. The wish to improve processes; both at the same time.

To solve this dual problem, and in conjunction with our clients, Samsara has invested over £1,000,000 in developing a solution that no other organisation can provide via a dedicated, exclusive, online collaborative buying arena.

With the services each of our clients offer, we have been able to pool together an extremely effective community of like-minded organisations that collaborate between themselves to offer services and products at extremely competitive rates.

Coupled with that, we have built a sophisticated corporate buying policy creation and management tool that centrally controls how and if individuals can buy, at all levels of the organisation and in any corner of the globe. Rather than creating a restrictive tool that an organisation must fit around, our solution fits around our clients.

With simple integration and multiple platform support, we create a seamless link between many parties to enable rapid deployment and thereby enabling every organisation the ability to benefit from the cost savings sooner rather than later.

Although the solution could be referred to as e-procurement, we believe that the added values within the system create a more sophisticated solution. Hence, it is referred to as collaborative buying.

Most web sites are now entering a mature stage in their lives. Technology is changing and you can offer much more to your customer base via the Internet. However, over 90% of web sites are created without the customer in mind and can fall short of what the web site is intended for in the first place.

With extensive experience in web site development for major corporations and SME's, Samsara has the capability to understand how to enable you to optimise your presence on the Internet.

Starting with your web site, we provide a detailed analysis of its design and structure and then analyse that against delivery to your customers. We can then advise on how you can optimise your presence, and provide a measurable difference. This service can also include consultancy and 'back-end' development to ensure your site is at the top of the major search engines for greater exposure and, hopefully more new customers.

As a complimentary service to our online optimisation service, Samsara can provide you with the technical and business skills required to build and develop:

• Intranets
• Extranets
• Web sites
• Community portals
• On-line learning environments
• CRM environments

Whatever your business needs are, we can help develop or find a solution that will fit your requirements.

With our commitment to providing business solutions, Samsara has invested heavily in many initiatives. One such initiative has been the development of a highly functional online helpdesk that can be adapted to suit almost any industry that manages a significant number of assets, from unlimited and remote locations.

Built initially for a large client to enable them to control and monitor its facilities management of over 35,000 assets, and 4,000 suppliers, we have ensured that the structure of the system can be highly customisable to any client need. As such, the system has been mobilised throughout our client base.

The system has been developed as an Internet-optimised tool, but can easily sit in an internal network and integrate with your core systems, particularly purchasing systems to enable automatic authorisation of emergency repairs, etc.

As with all our services, we ensure that this is the best fit solution for your requirements and, as a completely independent organisation also offer alternative solutions that are currently in the marketplace.
