The original existing nutrition systems of the company provide customer the general functions which could also be found in other competitors’ products. As our proposed new features added nutrition system launches, the outstanding specialty would attract new customers to increase market share from 20% to 40% based on original pie, which would be achieved within 2 years. And, as new type of users involved in our proposed system, target market will penetrate into restaurants and supermarkets.

By improving the data entry efficiency of reducing the input procedure from 5 to 3, and giving more nutrition tips and reminders, our proposed system would definitely become more and more attractive. Moreover, we change our charging type from software renting payment one time forever to monthly payment. The overall revenue would increase by 15% in 2 years’ time.

As restaurants and supermarkets taking part in our proposed system, they’ll update their food database regularly all by themselves in order to attract customers for competition, we eliminate the database updating process, which would decrease the maintaining cost and data updating errors that would increase the efficiency of system’s operation.

From social perspective, the more customers using our system, the more aware of healthy life style in the society. This is our prospect in long-run.
