Business Plan (ISS)

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Business Concept

Integrated Shopping Solutions (ISS) plans to launch products that will change the way customers shop. The first product released, QwikShop Systems, will satisfy the needs of an average grocery shopper that demands quick service and convenience. It will also provide solutions to the grocery stores in terms of maintaining customer loyalty and increasing product sales at low costs. ISS's products will replace frustration with satisfaction and provide customers with a shopping experience they will never forget.

Protection

ISS's products will be protected by a patent, all relating to the unique software and technology the company will develop. This patent is in lieu of ISS's existing competition in the States. In order to protect the market and be the leading strategist in the Shopping Industry, ISS will be patenting the final product (QwikShop Systems) to limit our barriers of entry in the industry.
