Garage Database
Introduction
A small garage needs a modern update to its present car data storage
system. The system currently consists of a few simple files containing
sheets of information about the cars and the customers listed in
alphabetical order. However, there has been an increasing amount of
cars being sold recently and more customers becoming interested in
buying a car. Although this system has worked well for a long time,
the garage feels that it cannot cope using this way of ‘old
technology’. So, they have asked me to create a garage database to
modernise and manage the files of cars and customers much more easily.
There are problems though. At the moment they have no computer system
and they do not know how to use a computer very well so they probably
will have problems putting new data and erasing old data on and off
the database.
I will be creating a simple, yet effective database that is
user-friendly to everyone including customers, the main end users, and
the staff, who have not had much experience using computers.
Analysis
A database is a good solution because it is easier and more efficient
to keep than the file method because there is no chance of losing any
of the paperwork. It is also easier to use than some of the other
computer files such as Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word. It is
user-friendly to people who have never really used a computer before
because they can just type in the car of their choice and it will come
up with the specific cars that they want instead of having to scroll
down and find the car that they want out of a large number of cars.
Specification
This section will explain the requirements of this database. In this
database they require:
* The database to be used by customers and staff.
* The customer must not be allowed to edit or input data.
* The staff must be able to edit and input data.
Historically, CarMax had used mass marketing, like broadcasting and mass promotion, for growing its brand value. Now with the CMO’s vision, they have great opportunity to create value through personalised experience using analytics. Using information, provided by customers through website or mobile app, to help them have better personalized experience. Customers nowadays do a lot of online research before going to a store and using that information, keeping those researched cars ready when they reach the store. This personalization gives CarMax a great push. (Eric Krell,

With product and service initiatives (Hertz Gold Plus Rewards, and NeverLost) as well as unique cars and SUVs offerings through Adrenaline, Prestige, Green Traveler and Dream Car Collections. These initiatives are what set Hertz apart from its competitors. Advantage Rent A Car is the low cost provider and they differentiate through offerings such as high level customer service through technological innovations such as the streamlined rental stations that bring the rental agent closer to the customer making the service experience more individualized. Hertz introduced more than 750 video kiosks featuring a live rental representative that allows customers to talk face-to-face and complete their rentals without waiting in line (Hertz Annual Report, 2013). Furthermore, Hertz set up “Road Trip” retail stores that provide customers with road trip supplies such as food and mobile device accessories. The best-cost strategy aids Hertz in establishing itself as a top competitor while providing its customers quality services and products at relatively low prices in comparison to its
Business travelers who spend much of their time in the car (like real estate sales agents)
They have over 11,555 worldwide rental car locations and are at the point where they can cover their short-term liabilities with cash flow from their operations. Hertz’s adjusted earnings per share increased 77.1% meaning that their market value has increased. Their revenues increased by 34%, while they had a cumulative cost savings of $3 billion (Hertz Annual Report, 2013). This demonstrates that Hertz has the financial resources and the access to markets that they need. Hertz has successfully integrated their ExpressRent kiosks in more than 48 markets and their eReturn option for Hertz Gold loyalty program members, in which they have the ability to choose the Hertz ‘Fuel Purchase Value Option’ that lets them automatically buy a full tank at the start of the rental, so they can turn in the car with the gas at any level and not have to worry about filling up on the way to the

Claims in the advertisements are used to try and get people of all types to notice, admire, and eventually go out and buy this car. There are three different types of claims: policy, fact, and value. The claims of policy in this advertisement are similar to most claims of policy in ads, which are, "buy this product." The claims of policy are created by the pretty picture on the opposite side of the page, and the writing on the ad. In the picture, the pretty mountains and bright sun look very inviting to someone who needs sometime to relax. By the desire to have free time, the busy worker will think that the car will get them some free time. Then, they will want to buy the car. The writing includes lines such as, "Finally. After working for what seems like forever, you have some time to yourself." Although this quote really does not have much to do with the car, it attracts the reader who may want some free time. The claims of fact include the statements about how many miles the car can go before needing a tune up and how it fits a low budget. These kinds of claims can attract people of all kinds, mainly people looking to spend little on a car for themselves or for their children. The claims of value state that this car can take you wherever you want, and that "even though going out during your free time may cost a lot, getting there won't." From these examples of claims of policy, fact, and value, the car looks very attractive to a reader.

With convenience comes cost. There are many costs associated with owning a car. Firstly learning to drive can be prohibitive, with lessons often out of a lot of peoples budgets. Once you have passed your test buying a car can also prove expensive. It is often the case we have to buy cheap second hand cars as new cars are very expensive. Sometimes this is fine and you can have a reliable car, but other times you pick one up that’s not been well maintained and can cost you a fortune in repairs and keeping it on the road.
