AP ltd. Develops Low Cost Custom E-business Suite

AP ltd., a Libertyville Illinois Internet and e-business developer, has created a suite of e-business tools designed to add custom e-business functions to static Internet sites.

"Internet business is entering a new era," says Bill Pohlman, partner at AP ltd. "First industry was forced to develop new applications for every new business function. Next ASPs offered off-the-shelf programs that were rented for the life of the program. We have taken this process to the next level. AP ltd. has developed a package of e-business applications that can be customized and installed typically for a one-time charge of between $6,000.00 and $12,000.00 per application. And, these applications are expandable so that they can become more powerful as your business grows."

The AP ltd. suite consists of a sales force automation tool, distributor extranet, employee intranet, e-commerce program as well as other applications. All programs can be custom developed to work seamlessly within the host site. Many of these programs also offer the client the opportunity to update the information in the application themselves through a browser-based interface. These tools allow a site owner or their Internet developer the opportunity to analyze their online business and see what type of applications will either help them control business costs or enhance their relationship with their customer base.

"In today's economy an Internet site must be more than an online brochure," said Sheldon Anderson, partner at AP ltd. "Companies need to achieve a return on their Internet investment. These tools offer business the opportunity to add function to Internet sites without a heavy investment or long term commitment. They can also help reduce expenses. One of our customers has dramatically reduced their printing and mailing expenses by putting all of their catalogs on their Internet site as PDFs (Portable Document Format) and allowing prospective customers to download them."

AP ltd. offers these e-business tools directly to site owners or through their partner program. The partner program offers ad agencies, web developers, web hosting companies or any third party supplier a 15% commission based on the total cost of the application. Further information on the partner program and an online application are available on their site at www.apltd.com under affiliates.

AP ltd. is a 20-year-old web and e-business developer as well as interactive agency that specializes in e-business and e-commerce applications. Their expertise covers a number of markets including municipal, corporate and retail with small and Fortune 500 companies. AP ltd. provides Internet, intranet and extranet development as well as both online and traditional promotional services.

AP ltd. Develops Online Golf Reservation System

AP ltd., an Internet development firm located in Libertyville, Illinois, has developed an online golf reservation system which can be integrated into any existing or new web site that allows golfers to reserve tee times and the golf pro to oversee the entire schedule over the Internet.

The system displays the full week of reserved and available tee times. The golfer then chooses on which day they would like to reserve a time, links to a page for that day's tee times and enters their name and phone number. Once they reserve the time, their name appears on the weekly schedule.

The weekly schedule can be administered by the golf pro as easily online as has been done traditionally in a book at the pro shop. At the beginning of each week, a master schedule of reserved and league times is uploaded to the site by the click of one button. The pro can also add any tee times taken by phone or make any changes that may be needed through the administrative portion of the application.

AP ltd. has included a demo of the application on their site. The golf system, as well as their other applications and services, can be viewed at www.apltd.com/portfolio/internet.htm. This golf application can either be housed and serviced on AP ltd.'s servers or installed on the customer's server. Without modifications, the application can be activated for $6,000.00 as part of AP ltd.'s server. Installation on a customer server or modifications to the application will be estimated on request.
