REAL TIME APPLICATION
INTRODUCTION
Transport is Auckland biggest issue (Dearnaley, 2013). This is one of the biggest issue for
students using the bus transportation to school or other reasons. Sometimes students
rushed to the bus station for the bus, but the bus is late or it arrive 2 minutes early than the
time provided on the AT Transport App. Without knowing that the bus is stuck on traffic or
there are too many passengers that the bus has to stop several time, delaying the time for
the bus to actually arrive. Students late to lectures and appointment and everything due to
the bus transport not being there on time or arrive too early so we came with the solution
for theit problems REAL TIME APP. We provide real time, but not estimate time, we can
also provide GPS for the students to track there bus so that they will not rushed for nothing
or go early if the bus will arrive early. We can also provide text messaging using the
Vodafone or Telecom etc if they dont have any internet access on their mobile phone.
3. BUSINESS SECTION
3.1 Vision
To provide aucklands students using the bus transport efficient time table everyday with
our useful and easy Application. (Best Example of a vision statement, 2014)
3.2 Industry Analysis: Auckland Bus Transport Industry

Force: High/Low: Justification:
Buyer power: High The buyer power is high due to other alternative
application, such as the AT Public Transport, AKL
Transit and the Transit Auckland where students
can also checked the time table for the bus
transport in Auckland. (Limited, 2011) (Andy,

2010)
Supplier power: Low The supplier buyer is low because the choices for
the buyer are many such as Google, Apple, Play
Store, Programmer and the Bank.
Threat of new entrants: High The threat of new entrants is high because it is
easy for new competitors to enter the market.
Threat of substitutes: High According to customer review there are many
other alternatives application in the market for
Auckland Bus transportation so students have
choices to choose from between my application
and the other application (Limited, 2011)
Rivalry among existing
competitors:
High According to customer reviewed on the other
application in the market, they reviewed that
they use that app and its much more easier other
said this is quite interesting and some says that
this app is not function well, so rivalry among the
existing competitors is high because other
competitors are trying to be the best one in the
market by privode customers what they actually
want and needs. (Transport, 2014)
Overall attractiveness of the industry: For Auckland Bus Transport industry it is quite easy
to enter the market since the threats of new entrans is high however since the competition
amongs the competitors in the market is already high it is not favorable for my app to enter
the market but according to customer reviewed on other alternatives application they are
most of the time inefficient and disfunctional so Real time will be favourable to enter the
market as we are aiming for the best to our targeted customer.

3.3 Customers and Thei r Needs
Auckland students using the bus transportation is our main target customer for our
application. Our application set features in our app for it to provide exact time for the bus to
arrive and to depart from the bus station, and also can track the bus whether it is late or
stuck in traffic jam. For our application all auckland students can use it, even other everyday
users that they want to use our application to look up for efficent timetable of the bus
everyday, our application can operate to everyone in Auckland that is interest in using bus
transportation in Auckland not just the students.
3.4 The Product and Service
We use what its call GPS tracking device for every bus in Auckland so that students and
everyday user of bus transportation can track their bus location. Also we wil be using
Telecommunication in New Zealand to provide text messages for customers whether the
bus is on time or late when they do not have internet access on their mobile phone.
3.5 Suppliers and Partners
My suppliers are, the Software Developer and the programmer, to help creating my
application and also Google & Apple, these are world know applications to students on their
android phone, they will provide my application for the students to download and use.
I will partner up with Vodafone, so that they will provide text messages for my customers
whenever they need to know the time table and the location of the bus, they will also be
beneficials as many customer will then be using there company. Also the Auckland
Transport, since they are the main domain for Auckland transport, I will paired up with them
so they will provide me the name and get access to the bus transportation trackable device,
they will be in favorable as many students will then use the bus transport rather than using
taxi or vehicle to travel to school or other purposes.

3.6 Strategy: Focused High Cost
The competitive scope for my business is Narrow, I am only focus on Auckland. The price
strategy for my business will be high, hiring good software developers and programmer etc,
because I want good quality for my application so that customer meet their needs and
wants.
The overall strategy is therefore Focused High Cost
3.7 Value Chain Activity: Market and sell the product or service
The important value chain activity is the Market and sell the product or service. Customer
targeted; students study in Auckland using the bus transportation to travel and even
everyday user of Auckland can use this app if they want to which is ofcourse a narrow
market. It is Focus high cost strategy since there are many other alternatives application in
the industry,they aslo want to provide the customer what they actually needs and wants
and the cost for creating and developing my application will depends on how high the
quality for my application that I want to provide the customer.
