We’ve noticed a growing number of business aggregator portals lately. It’s not that aggregating is new, just that there seems to be increasing focus on B2B rather than the more traditional B2C aggregators, like LendingTree.com.
Here’s a couple we think are interesting:
Company.com a vendor marketplace providing personalized vendor comparisons, editorial reviews, Company.com recommendations and, in the future, customer ratings and savings calculators. Vendor participants hail from 50 specific service categories most widely used by small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), including lead generation, human resources outsourcing and business loans.
Solutions Center (for Peachtree Accounting Business Analytics users) In addition to comparative industry benchmarks and financial analytics, Peachtree small business customers have seamless access to supplementary financial perspectives and services that can help them make critical decisions and implement solutions.
iBank.com enables companies of all sizes to store and organize their business data into a secure electronic “vault” for the purpose of arranging financing to help them grow their business and reduce their costs. The customer can then provide access to this vault to selected lenders, credit rating agencies, brokers and other parties as necessary, thereby eliminating the inefficiencies and costs of typical paper-based transactions.
Intuitworkplace a single location to find and try business applications that work with QuickBooks and with each other. By logging in, you can easily access applications, manage settings and find more applications.
Are these aggregators somewhere you would go to find a solution to a common SMB challenge like financing growth?
Have you ever tried to get good information about who your potential customers are? We are working on a project to draw a picture of our ideal customer. That got me thinking. What if there was a dependable source where I could learn key information about my target market? What if I could find out good, reliable information on the average size of companies within a SIC code in my geographic area?
If you are a Peachtree accounting software user, which probably also means you are a small to medium business, it’s likely you cannot buy sophisticated market data. The latest version of Peachtree Software includes a module called Business Analytics. Business Analytics is primarily a tool to benchmark financial results against other businesses, sliced and diced by region, size, industry, etc. Why not use it to learn about your competitors or your customers? With more than 500,000 customers, the Peachtree userbase is an information gold mine. Plus, the information gets more valuable as more and more Peachtree customers use Business Analytics. And, get the word out about this new module; it can only help you.
Originally co-founded by FTRANS chairman John Hayes, Peachtree has developed Business Analytics to allow small businesses to monitor their company’s health and performance, uncover problems and expose opportunities in addition to analyzing their performance against industry competition. This software is scheduled for mass-market release on June 1st.
Peachtree Business Analytics is powered by iLumen. Loren Eckert, EVP of iLumen, had this to say, “FTRANS services are ideal for small business owners who require help accessing assets tied up in accounts receivable. We’re excited about the value FTRANS can provide to the millions of small business owners utilizing Peachtree’s new Business Analytics software.”
