2 THE I ON U SPEED MONITORING APP. INTRODUCTION In New Zealand, speeding is a contributor to 30% of all car accidents every year. Ranked 2 nd in the world as a cause for all car accidents , and 3 rd in New Zealand, speeding has a significant effect on all drivers. A report published by The Ministry of Transport New Zealand, 2013, identified that in 2012, speeding was a contributing factor in 68 fatal crashes, 307 serious injury crashes and 1,049 minor injury crashes. These crashes resulted in 85 deaths, 405 serious injuries and 1,493 minor injuries. Our solution; is to create a smartphone app that monitors drivers speeds, and reports the data in real time to law enforcement. If drivers exceed the given speed limit at a dramatic speed, law enforcement will be notified and will be able to take further action (issue speeding tickets, warnings etc.).
3. BUSINESS SECTION 3.1 Vision Our vision is to be at the forefront of speed monitoring and to provide accurate and efficient data in order to create and maintain safer roads for all. 3.2 Industry Analysis: Queso Melted Cheese Industry Industry: Smartphone Application Industry. The Smarphone Application Industry is competitive industry with new applications being made every day. Force: High/Low: Justification: Buyer power: High There is an over-choice in the app industry. In October, 2012 Apple announced that there were one million apps available in the iTunes Store and a total of 60 billion had been downloaded already. (Forbes, 2013). There is no doubt that, that number of apps has doubled over the years, especially with more app stores and providers enetering the industry, giving buyers more power deciding which apps they want. Supplier power: High Chalk and cheese brie boursin paneer cheese strings melted cheese ricotta edam. Cheese on toast fondue. Bavarian bergkase caerphilly. (Author, 2010)

3 Threat of new entrants: High Threat of new entrants is high as it is relatively easy to enter the industry due to the low number of entry barrriers. (Suter, 2012) Threat of substitutes: Low There is really only one other substitute to apps, and that is internet websites. But with the number of new apps being created, and the extent to what those apps can do, soon there may be no need for internet websites. Rivalry among existing competitors: High Rivalry in the application industry is fierce, with over 500,00 application software developers and many more still entering the market. (http://3xhappiness.com/analysis-of-the-app- market-based-on-michael-porters-five- competitive-forces/, 2012) Overall attractiveness of the industry: Relatively Low, this can be justified by low entry bariers into the industry, also rivalry amongst competitors is very high which makes it extremely difficult for new entrants to succeed in the industry. Success in this industry would require innovative ideas to generate new revenue streams. Allthough barriers to enter are low.
Relatively unattractive ; this can be justified 3.3 Customers and Thei r Needs As our application is a law enforcing application, this may not appeal to the general public. However, the New Zealand Governemnt is constantly seeking new and innovative ways to monitor speeding, therefore, they would be our target customer. Customer needs vary and this application would enable law enforcement to handle more serious cases as the app would monitor the speed and driving habit of drivers, increasing productivity of law enforcement.
3.4 The Product and Service Smartphones are becoming very popular in New Zealand, with over 50% of the population owning a device (Anza, 2012). These numbers are expected to grow at a rapid rate making the use of the app more accessible. We propose to release our product to Auckland smartphone users as a trial launch because 64% of Auckland residents own smartphones. As the number of smartphone users increase, we look to distribute the product throughout New Zealand.

3.6 Strategy: Focussed High Cost We have adopted a narrow market competitive scope as we cater to one main customer (The New Zealand Government) and also our app would be in a specific market aimed at aiding the government and law enforcement. We have identified that the initial cost for making the app could cost a fair amount and the delivery of on-going checks and software updates would also add to costs. The overall strategy is therefore Focussed High Cost
3.7 Value Chain Activity: Service after Sale The most important Value Chain Activity to the company would be Service after Sale as the companys vision is to provide accurate and efficient data which would require alot ofpost sale checks, servicing and software updates. Although our strategy is a focussed high cost strategy there is really only one main customer (NZ GOVT) therefore, it would not be difficult to provide this type of service.
3.8 Business Processes 3.8.1. SOFTWARE UPDATI NG PROCESS The Software Updating Process is vital to our products success as because our product relies on the recording of real-time data its important that all data recorded is done so in the most efficient and effective way. This means being able to identify where the software can be improved, updating the software and recommending that software to our users.

3.8.2. CUSTOMER INQUI RY PROCESS The Customer Inquiry Process is another process vital to the success of our product as our key value chain activity is service after sale therefore, finding out about how customers find our product and also where we can improve our product will help us serve them better. This could also allow for a chance to differentiate our product from others in the industry.

3.10. 1. SOFTWARE EXAMI NATION SYSTEM- The software examination sytem is important as it is related to the service after sale value chain activity. It also supports our companys vision of being able to provide efficient and accurate data by identifying which customers are not using the most up to date software, and also determines whether or not the Service after Sale department needs to inform the user of the software update available, these of which being the main functionalities of the system. 3.10. 2.
