Our OriginSpatial Solutions Inc. was incorporated in 1994 and is a privately held limited company. The company produced analytic tools, and provided consulting services, for GIS applications, with a focus on the complex topology relationships and an integration of GIS data with satellite imagery. This Spatial Development business unit produced a number of proprietary software products.Into eCommerceIn 1997, it ventured into a new area of technology. With real-time verification of credit-cards online in its infancy, Spatial Solutions Inc. produced its first eCommerce site www.spatial-online.com. This site, which sells software online by providing product keys immediately the financial transaction is complete, was a challenge at that point in the evolution of technology. Most online sales could afford to verify credit cards offline before shipping, but as www.spatial-online.com delivers immediately, it had to push the process to the limit. Technology has gone a long ways since 1997 !! Into eBusinessAs technology and security improve, there are obvious advantages of being able to not only sell product and collect revenue, but to monitor and manage entire business units via the Internet. The eBusiness model provides managers and entrepreneurs with the freedom to not report to the office every day. Our wholly owned subsidiary www.spatial-online.com and a joint venture www.letterheademail.com, were both designed as eBusinesses. Their business functions that are incorporated in the eBusiness include not only reselling products and services, but also business activities such as monitoring the sales and delivery, and reimbursing the owners of the products or the providers of the services. One can even print checks from anywhere in the world, assuming one has the check forms. Into eServicesThe much more complex business model consisting of the home delivery business, www.HomeDeliveryManagement.com, takes eBusiness to a new level. It provides home delivery businesses with the ability to manage their home delivery processes, including managing boxes, customers, products, suppliers and routes, from any computer linked to the Internet. The businesses' customers to come also go online to modify their orders and accounts directly without costly staff interaction.Furthermore, it is an eService. The services are available to any home delivery business, with the cost of the service dependent on the usage. The setup time is minimal, requiring a new database to be produced to protect sensitive information from other home delivery businesses, the look and feel to be extracted from the business's own website (or designed) so that the customers are not made aware of moving from the business's website to the eService and the details of the deliveries to be specified such as customers, boxes, products, standing orders, suppliers, standard routes, etc. The business signing on with Home Delivery Management can expect to be up and operational in just a couple weeks. Business ModelsSpatial Solutions Inc. continues to work with clients in a number of ways. We can simply provide consulting services, with the Intellectual Property being held by the client. We are also willing to enter into partnerships with businesses with an interest in utilizing technology to assist their business models. We will invest in the resulting technology as our contribution to the joint venture as our business partners supply the subject expertise.If this type of activity within your field of expertise interests you, we would like to hear from you.
