The Evolution of E-business: Examples of Each Phase

Phase IV: Intranet

Figure no I: Genebra San Miguel Incorporated (GSMI) intranet system

The system is used only used by regular employee by entering their company ID number
provided by the company including their own generated password upon employment. The
system offers different kinds of functions, like viewing the shift schedules, payroll records,
summary of deductions, incoming events of the company, list of holidays and special events, list
of birthday celebrants, and special announcement of the company. Through the system the
company can send financial and confidential data privately and is kept secure within the
organization. An employee upon log in can view his/her daily log in and out through the
company biometric system if it is recorded in the company intranet. Once a record for a certain
day does not appear in the company intranet it indicates that the employee is absent or failed to
log in. With the system the employee can simple verify his daily records so that it can be
corrected right away by the HR department.
Another feature of the system is to allow the employee to see an electronic data of their
payroll in which they will be able to see the deductions and computations of their salary
including their benefits like loans. It will show also the tax calculations and deductions of the
employee. Through the system the personal records are privately distributed and it is available at
all times because anybody can access the system through a company computer placed at the
company lobby which is designated only for the system. Even the HR office is closed and even
during weekend where the offices are closed the production employees can still access the
system because it only requires the password and the company ID number.
 With the system the work of the HR department will be reduce and it provides much
more privacy and convenient to the employees because the system is user friendly and very
helpful.

it does not require any personel to daily operates the system because it is very easy to access. It
also provides advantage of having less paper in producing their outputs and it allows ease of
distributing them to each of the employees especially in big company where there are lots of
employees.
 Finally with the help of the system users locate and view information faster and use
applications relevant to their rule and responsibilities.

Phase V: Supply Chain

Magnolia foods

Through the use of EDI a supply chain can be created between the suppliers and the
producers. With the help of electronic process, the labor and manpower will be reduce in terms
of making and handling sales transactions. Magnolia Foods and its suppliers and distributor
employ’s this kind of system which the Magnolia Foods order from their accredited farmers.
Magnolia farms process the goods then after processing the goods, it will be transported to the
grocery station by their registered distributors. With the use of supply chain the designated
grocery station can easily order items from the Magnolia Foods instantly and accurately which
make the process quick and results to maximization of sales.
On the other hand the Magnolia foods also can easily notify their suppliers or farmers
regarding the needs of raw materials without physically ordering from them but also through the
use of supply chain.
The benefits of having a supply chain management will lower inventory, warehousing
and transporting cost, improves customer service and maximize revenues.

San Miguel Beer

Knowing what your supply chain is for your brewery is important, it encompasses your
raw ingredients, packaging and any other items you bring into your system to use when creating
your products. Your supply chain ends when your beer is in the hands of your retailer or
consumer. It is a very fundamental step of the process that takes you into production, storage,
distribution and sales. Keeping your beer supply chain flowing is just as difficult as finding the
perfect brew. You must coordinate the purchase of raw materials, avoiding spoilage, cross
contamination, extended cleaning and storage and space issues. Here we look at factors that help
you better manage your beer supply chain.
The supply chain is created including the brewer, bottler, supplier, wholesaler and
retailer. Using the connections between these firms increase productivity and profit. Using the
supply chain the brewer can easily order raw materials from suppliers when needed and the
supplier will be quicker in delivering its services to the brewer because the transmission of data
like the raw materials required will be transmitted electronically. It also applies in the bottling
process, and then continues to the wholesaler and customers. It is very useful to the business to
have the needed data timely and accurately in order to create or produce an effective planning or
decision making.

Phase VI: Collaborative Commerce

Facebook + Mercedes-Benz +Google: Social Driving

Engineers from Mercedes Benz, working in Palo Alto, California, has developed an
application that enables drivers to access facebook from their car. The application is incorporated
into the new telematic systems found on Mercedes Benz cars, which offers a high resolution
screen in dashboard and high speed wireless internet connection and can interact with driver’s
mobile phone. Google and Yelp have also created applications for the system.
The project will increase the sales of the car with the special systems equipped generally
the Facebook application. Using the collaborative approach, the system will be introduce to the
Facebook flatform for advertising purposes in order to generate sales and Mercedes Benz to
integrate and develop the application that will be equipped in their car.
This is a marketing strategy of both company to expand their services and their market
through providing different needs of the market.
