Precision Consultants has created an online B2B portal for SMBs, which will automatically inform the solution providers whenever new requirements are posted on the portal and are introduced to the clients matching their profiles.

PRECISION CONSULTANTS created a portal for Server Message Block (SMB), where they can post their requirements, find a right solution provider, and also post solutions they offer. The portal has 20,000 information technology (IT) and information technology enabled services (ITES) solution providers registered and categorised based on their expertise. When a requirement is posted on the portal, partners with requisite expertise are informed and introduced to the clients.

One of the factors behind the success of the web has been online collaboration. A relatively small company, known as Precision Consultants with 25 employees and annual turnover of INR 70 lakhs, realised that there is a huge opportunity for collaboration among SMBs in India and thus created an online portal.

For non-IT SMBs, creating an in-house project and implementing it can be tedious as it is not a part of their core business, while SMBs offering IT solutions sometimes find it hard to reach the right SMBs looking for solutions.

The online portal known as Indianitsolutions.com is a business-to-business (B2B) platform, aiming at solving this problem of SMBs and is conceptualised for helping them reach out to the global industry.

The portal has been created on .NET and Microsoft Structured Query Language (MS SQL) server. It has two main target audiences: solution providers and solution seekers.

Solution providers are basically SMB companies providing solutions to other SMBs. According to Precision Consultants, the portal has approximately 20,000 IT and ITES solution provider companies registered and categorised based on their expertise.

They are automatically informed whenever new requirements are posted on the portal matching solution provider’s profile.

Solution providers can go for a free listing on the portal or become a consulting partner of Precision Consultants or even a lifetime member of the portal.

When opting for consulting partner or lifetime partner option, solution providers subscribe to portal services and their profile solutions, services, and products are displayed on the portal.

They are provided login information for the portal through which the solution providers can update their profiles’ information anytime on their own. They can send and receive messages directly on the portal and a history of all exchanges between them and their clients is also maintained.

As soon as a requirement is posted on the portal, it is immediately categorised. If any of the registered partners have the requisite expertise, they are immediately informed and introduced to the client or consultant directly, so that there is no loss of time in proceeding with the response. Precision Consultants acts as a point of escalation for both solution seekers and solution providers in case of any issues. In case no partner suiting the needs of the client is found, requirements of the project is activated on the portal and mails are sent to all solution providers (free listing) informing them about the requirement. A list of such solution providers with their contact details is provided to the client and consultant so that they can contact them directly.

The portal allows partners to check and track the number of hits their account is getting on the portal and thereby, decide whether to upgrade or not.
