Inputs You Need to Consider in Estimating

¶ … inputs" you need to consider in estimating your project? Be as specific as possible.

Dogs became best friends of people as an outcome of individualistic urban life. Nowadays dog daycares and kennels are very popular and competition level in the sector is very high. For that reason opening and running a dog kennel have become very challenging.

First of all the hygiene is very important to provide a clean and peaceful environment for the dogs and develop a good customer chain as dog owner to owner references would be one of the key elements for the life of the business. The cleaning products, personnel and the furniture are the components of hygiene. The natural products which are not irritating the dogs will be chosen. The personnel will be interviewed carefully to understand how dedicated they would be. The furniture will be chosen from a material which is easy to clean and aesthetic.

Another important issue is to address to give enough space for each dog. Therefore, the building is going to be large surrounded by a park-like garden to allow dogs to walk around and have some fresh air. In the city setting finding a large place would be a challenge; however, if the kennel is far from the city it would prevent people to use the kennel. Partially, the distance problem is planned to be solved by service vehicles. Therefore, the costumers will be able to call the kennel for door to door service.

Nowadays the internet is the best place to reach people via virtual and free advertisements. For example, the twitter would allow the company to reach thousands of potential customers in a day. The facebook page would allow the kennel to upload news and pictures of the kennel and dogs. In addition, a webpage is a must. The webpage will provide the basic information about the kennel, online application forms and payment options. The latter make it approachable for busy professionals.

The dog grooming would be an additional service that dogs would be groomed during their stay.

The online dog management system will be used to keep the files online and give faster services. The financial files, the history of dogs and information about rooms will be kept in the system. Therefore, it will be easier to put the dogs in the best location and serve rapid and efficient.
