On-Demand Webinar: The Underrated Impact of Real-Time Collaboration on Your Business

There comes a time in your life when you have to build that dreaded sales report, once a month. That’s the stuff of nightmares.

First, you need to gather data from multiple sources, sometimes multiple, siloed sheets, different departments, numerous salespeople, and wait endlessly. That’s time-consuming.

Then you have to plot all of that in one sheet, check for errors, and pray that the numbers are accurate enough to make informed decisions. That’s cumbersome and complex.

And then repeat this arduous task, month after month. What do you gain? Sleepless nights.

But had you put all of that data on the cloud, in a platform like Google Sheets—that lets multiple team members input, edit, and work on the same sheet all at the same time—creating sales reports wouldn’t seem like a huge mountain to climb.

In this webinar, Ryan Weber, Product Manager, Google Cloud, provides simple tricks and tips that help you build reports quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively with real-time collaboration, so that you spend more time on innovation and getting products out to market faster. And a lot less time building reports.

Watch this on-demand webinar to find out how.

How This 70-Year Old Japanese Shoe-maker Uses Collaboration to Beat Competition

For over six decades now, ASICS, a Japanese footwear, and sports equipment provider—for some of the biggest names in the sporting world—has been in the business of making sport a part of people’s lives. From manufacturing basketball shoes in 1949, ASICS soon began to design sports shoes for Olympians.

Headquartered in Kobe, Japan, ASICS is an acronym for the Latin phrase Anima Sana In Corpore Sano, meaning Sound Mind in a Sound Body.

“With over 65 years of history in the sporting goods business, we care for more than just quality products. We’re obsessed with customer experience,” says Paul Miles, Senior General Manager, Global Marketing Division, ASICS.

And without technology that’s not possible.

“Technology is helping us work better with athletes wherever they are. Whether it’s studying their performance, predicting the needs of customers through data, developing our products or simply inventing. Tech is enabling a new realm of possibility. When tech enables collaboration without limitation, the customer wins,” says Miles.

Watch the video to find out how ASICS has retained its place and how it continues to beat competition in a crowded sports market.

Bigbasket needed a mapping platform that could help it meet its delivery times and offer a familiar interface to customers. Google Maps Platform came to its rescue.

When Bigbasket was founded in December 2011, it guaranteed to deliver goods within a one-hour delivery slot of its customers’ choosing or it would refund them 10 percent of their orders. The company also introduced an express service, delivering groceries within 90 minutes of an order being placed.

Bigbasket needed a mapping platform that could help it meet its delivery times, and offer a familiar interface to customers. MediaAgility, a digital consulting company, recommended Google Maps Platform to Bigbasket.

When customers use the Bigbasket mobile app to place orders, they select their locations on a Google Map. The prices and availability of groceries varies according to location, so a customer’s location determines the cost of the order and what can be ordered.

Google Maps Platform Results

  • Bigbasket handles more than one million orders per month, and delivers in more than two dozen cities in India
  • Bigbasket now has more than four million customers
  • Orders are delivered on time, increasing customer loyalty

It is also used to determine driver routes. Bigbasket used the Maps Javascript API to build a web-based app for the company’s backend that tracks all orders and delivery progress. Dispatchers use the Directions API to match drivers with orders and customers, and the Distance Matrix API to get estimate the time of arrival for deliveries. As dispatchers track the progress of deliveries on the map, they can tweak routes as necessary.

“We’ve built Bigbasket from the ground up using Google Maps Platform. It makes sure we have the right customer locations and deliver to them on time. We couldn’t have started Bigbasket without Google Maps. It helps us to be fast and efficient, and make sure our customers get what they’ve ordered quickly,” said Pramod Jajoo, Chief Technology Officer, Bigbasket

Quick Tips: How to Set Up a Business Without Investing Too Much

Running a business is everybody’s dream but only a few get to realize it. Among the many hurdles that entrepreneurs face, setting up the business with everyday tools like business emails, calendars, and finding cost-effective ways to collaborate are imperatives.

But it isn’t a struggle in the age of the cloud. Cloud computing takes care of infrastructure costs, breaks geographical boundaries, and makes collaboration across continents a walk in the park.

Google’s G Suite—a cloud-based collaboration and productivity platform—helps organizations achieve exactly that. G Suite is an affordable option to keeping your business organized. It’s the one stop shop for collaborating, creating consistency, and developing the professionalism your business needs.

What does that essentially mean?

Your marketing teams can create pitch presentations on Slides by collaborating in real time. All of them can work on the same version of the presentation all at once, ensuring everybody is on the same page.

Your finance teams can move over complex spreadsheet formulas and analyse costs just by asking—in words—Google Sheets to throw up answers to questions like: “What was our average spend last month?”

Your executive boards can meet on Hangouts from wherever they are, leading to faster decision-making.

Amber Hurdle, author of The Bombshell Business Woman, expands on the Tech Tools chapter of her book, by walking through how she uses G Suite to streamline her business.
