CloudStore
Deliver projects faster, collaborate and co-create, re-use and resell to improve revenue and margins with the only end-to-end production network for global PR agencies – Hammerkit Cloudstore.
Cloudstore turns web projects into globally repeatable solutions. It offers global PR agencies a private marketplace of repeatable web solutions that fit the needs of their clients.
New Revenue Creation
Hammerkit Cloudstore allows agencies to generate new revenue by reselling work created in one location throughout their network of offices. Many web projects have similar functionality and objectives. Hammerkit Cloudstore allows you to duplicate a live, working web project and completely tailor it to the client specification. Projects are delivered faster at a very competitive rate. Using your global office network to resell popular web solutions, you can shorten the sales cycle and drive new revenue while improving client satisfaction.
Improved Operating Margins
Reusing existing web solutions with Cloudstore means less duplication of effort and a much more efficient production approach. Coupled with Hammerkit’s code-less technology, your team can become much more profitable by focusing on high value-add services for your clients instead of rebuilding solutions over and over again.
Sustainable Production Design
Sustainable production design is about building for repeatability. When we create new solutions with Hammerkit, we first create a web application template that can be reused. Once this is in place, we begin to implement the precise client specification. The result is a repeatable solution that can be resold instantly and a client service that meets their expectations perfectly. Sustainable production design means less building from scratch, faster deliveries and higher consistency and quality of the final product.
Mass-Tailoring
A common production approach in the manufacture of physical goods, mass-tailoring allows client requirements to be delivered as customisations to a mass-produced base product. Hammerkit implements the same mass-tailoring principles in our Cloudstore. Client-specific solutions may be created from repeatable digital solutions that offer packages of common functionality, such as campaigns, Facebook applications or crisis communication sites.
Co-Creation and Synergy
Co-creation is the process of working together with your colleagues and clients to produce a great new service. Hammerkit makes it happen by offering a real-time development environment that everyone can log into simultaneously. Regardless of where your team or client are, you can all see changes and improvements to the service as they happen. You can also split up work and work in the same project at the same time. Co-creation brings the best ideas from around your business and creates synergy that you can leverage for competitive advantage.
Lean Production
Lean production principles focus attention on producing the maximum output for the minimum input. HammerKit offers PR agencies the potential to implement lean production in the pursuit of better margins and quality by reusing work and assets across the entire business. This reduces the amount of rework and reduces wasted effort and time.
Reduced Sales Cycle
Hammerkit Cloudstore allows Account Executives to go shopping with the client across all solutions to choose those that fit the client’s needs. The client can make decisions quicker based on services they can test drive, shortening the sales cycle. This approach, coupled with shorter delivery times, can increase profits as well as client satisfaction.
Consistent Quality
The use of repeatable solutions helps to improve overall delivery quality. Once a service is used by a client as a repeatable solution, it is extensively tested to ensure it works correctly. New services that are created based on this quality-checked repeatable solution will have less errors and bugs than solutions built from scratch.
