Building East and E-business

Building East offers the use of technologically advanced low cost systems to enable smaller firms to compete on an equal footing in an increasingly e-enabled World.

The core product is known as TRADER Plus - a Web-based system that offers a range of facilities according to users' needs in a similar format to an Internet banking system.

Benefits to you include

  • The ability to meet requirements for on-line trading without large financial investment.
  • An accurate information base detailing products and services available in the London area.
  • The facility to request quotes and place orders for materials at any time of day.
  • Security of commercially sensitive information.
  • Tender information and alerts.
  • One Form®

One Form® was developed by St Helens Chamber in partnership with Liverpool University to provide on-line document handling facilities that enable smaller firms to deposit and record key details and documents. The system can re-order these details to generate vendor pre-qualification questionnaires required by major buyers in their own prescribed format.

The benefit of such a system is to enable smaller firms to take part in formal tendering without the workload associated with conventional paper systems that exclude so many.

TRADER Plus is a facilities rich e-business package that offers a full four layer on-line catalogue, request for quotation, requisitioning and ordering facilities leading to financial settlement.

At just £45.00 + VAT per year costs have been minimised throughout to provide a truly effective aid to competitiveness. (Businesses in the Objective 2 area may qualify for free registration - subject to availability - please ask a member of the project team)
