ezMiner
was formed by a nucleus of
individuals having a combined total of over forty (40) years
experience in retail automation. ezMiner modeled
its startup utilizing a corporate strategy known as
"capabilities-based competition." The underlying basis of
this strategy was featured in the Harvard Business Review in
the March-April 1992 issue. Capabilities-based competition
directs companies to combine scale and flexibility to
outperform the competition along five dimensions:
|SPEED
- The ability to respond quickly to customer or market
demands and to incorporate new ideas and technologies
quickly into products.
|CONSISTENCY
- The ability to produce a product that unfailingly
satisfies customers' expectations.
|ACUITY
- The ability to see the competitive environment clearly and
thus to anticipate and respond to customers' evolving needs
and wants.
|AGILITY
- The ability to adapt simultaneously to many different
business environments.
|INNOVATIVENESS
- The ability to generate new ideas and to combine existing
elements to create new sources of value.
From inception, ezMiner used these underlying strategies to
develop new software products and to respond, in a positive
manner, to customer request for systems enhancements.
Utilizing the underlying "capabilities based foundation",
ezMiner has been able to quickly respond to changing market
trends and industry buzz words ie: "market basket analysis,
companion sales, NACS compatible categories, just in time
inventory, category management, customer loyalty and
efficient consumer shopping experience." |
