The HAIR that I think would best benefit the company is the Management Information System (MIS). A MIS provides information that organizations require to manage themselves efficiently and effectively. Management information systems are typically computer systems used for managing five primary components: 1 . ) Hardware, 2. ) Software, 3. Data (information for decision making), 4. ) Procedures (design, placement and documentation), and 5. ) People (individuals, groups, or organizations). Management information systems are distinct from other information systems, in that they are used to analyze and facilitate strategic and operational activities. (Wisped, 2013) The MIS system will allow all eight stores to be connected to your location that you work at. This will allow you to cut down the time you spend on the road away from the office and save on spending money on gas.
The MIS will provide you with reports, current performance and let you access past information. It will also allow for better leaning, control and make important decisions without traveling to each store. The company will be able to maintain proper payroll information for each store via the internet, it will be an easier task because you will be able to access employees weekly work schedule without leaving the office. There will be software that will allow you to process the time sheets and send checks in a timely manner each pay period.
With the MIS it will give you a transaction processing system, which records the routine transactions needed to conduct business, such as shipping, sales orders, and office automation systems, which are intended to increase productivity in the office for electronic mail and digital filing. Using the MIS will allow you to concentrate more on things that need to be completed from the office. This will cut down a significant amount of travel time to and from each restaurant. You will be able to stay at the main office more and communicate with managers and employee from every location through email.

This will help with getting information on recruiting ideas, and hiring information on potential employees. Once the communication line is open through mail you will be able to determine how often you may actually have to physically make trips to the different locations. If there is ever a need for you to bring in additional help with office work this will be an easier transaction for them. The cost of the system may be costly but in the long run it will pay for itself by cutting down on travel time and gas cost.
HAIR VENDOR CHOICE While looking for a vendor that would best suit the companies needs I have come across two that you can choose from to help with your business needs. I first went to Hearthstone(http://www. Gallium. Com/index. HTML) they give a detailed list of the information and systems they offer to small businesses. These items are: These items are: Heroics HAIR: database that will manage HER employee data from hire to end- of-employment. Import all data into an integrated system that will store, track, analyze, and generate reports and letters.
Self-source: add on that managers can personal information and update online). Online Leave Request: online request that can be viewed and approved in a timely manner via the internet. Online project / time tracking: employees enter tidemark information and managers review and approve the time cards via the internet. Online Employment application, online Job requisition, HER portal, Heroics payroll interface. System support services such as Data Loading, Annual Maintenance and Support, Onsite Training, and System Implementation Support. Hearthstone) The second place I visited was Simple HER(http://www. Simpler. Ca/); this site offers easy instillation, quick setup, and no training. They also have Salary History and Benefits, Performance reviews and Training, Vacations, Attendance and sick leave, Health and Safety Records, HER Dashboards, Automated Reminders, Document Library, and Reports. ( HAIR – HER system for small business) Hearthstone site does not offer a price right away, but there is a free 14 day trial. Simple HER says that the cost is $199.
I know I was not able to access a price from Hearthstone, but I feel that Hearthstone might be the better of the two. It seems that there is more offered to the business than what Simple HER has to offer. Both web sites offer a free trial or a Demo. I recommend that you try them both to see what works best for you, once you make your decision make sure you check both sites to figure out which offers the most products for your money.
