The battlefield for better business ROI starts and finishes with employees
That battle is now fought via the the apps and platforms you try to get them use.
If the functions your apps give them incite better efficiency, and cost reductions for your business – then you win.
Delivering powerful, customised apps for your employees to improve your bottom line, is our kung fu.
The vast majority of software solutions out there are close to 100% ‘off-the-shelf’ which means your business literally has to plug into their software’s logic, and structure. Which we believe is back-to-front.
The alternative – you have custom software development that can do just about anything you want – but will probably cost 10 to 20 times more than buying an off-the-shelf solution.
So we have come up with a formula that stands alone, and stands apart. Capitalise on millions of dollars and thousands of hours of core functionality development without paying for most of it, and get the rest customised exactly to your requirements. Best of both worlds – what most clients really want.
We specialise in working with companies that have between 50 and 5,000 employees, and we use platforms that we have previously built and invested millions of dollars in development into – then we customise the platform you require and white label it. So you get millions of dollars of horsepower and functionality, for a fraction of that cost. The smart way to get a customised solution, without paying for a build from the ground up. Why re-invent the wheel – when you can duplicate it, customise it, make it faster and better, and get everything you want via a much shorter path from A (‘Adequate’) to B (‘Blow-Your-Mind’)!
What the heck is a Cost Reduction Hub you may ask? Simple: it’s like an intranet, but it has a very specific purpose – prompting all of your employees to constantly find, suggest, and action ways to REDUCE COSTS and INCREASE EFFICIENCIES…
The linchpin for this working is having a compelling, simple, but customised (to your business and industry) Reward Points Module – so that employees are constantly accruing Reward Points for finding ways to improve your company’s bottom line. Most employees aren’t very engaged, and even fewer genuinely care about saving their company money – but giving them recognition, and Reward Points (that they can redeem via vouchers, or bonuses, or whatever you want them to equate to) is an incredibly powerful way to do just that – make them care, make them act, and make them improve your business’s profitability.
PRICING: fully hosted Cost Reduction Hubs starting from $25 per user, per month. Minimum user number or monthly subscription fee applies.
CUSTOMISATION: customisation pricing generally ranges from $25k to $150k (more for larger organisations or for complex customisation requirements), depending on how complex and how involved you want the customisation to be. The full scope is outlined, quoted and agreed upon upfront for customisation before you spend a dollar.
ROI*: average minimum target ROI for a Cost Reduction Hub is – 5 to 15 times the cost of implementation, per annum. If we cannot help you to build a simple, plausible business case for this range of ROI upfront – we won’t take on your project. So you know that if you are going to invest – you have a solid case for an impressive ROI before you start.

Bigger employers spend a fortune each year, on recruitment. And then lose a fortune (generally) on lower than ideal staff engagement (and thus lower staff productivity), low levels of staff retention, and extremely high recruitment / training / onboarding costs…
And most companies rely on a mix of external recruitment agencies that are cost-intensive, internal recruiters that are not efficient enough without the right tools, and advertising on job boards (like Indeed, Monster, Seek, etc – depending on which country you are in). But if you employee staff regularly – having your own, customised and custom-branded recruitment, training and onboarding portal attached to your own website and or intranet / extranet – makes perfect sense, capitalises on your existing web traffic, and provides powerful and simple tools to dramatically reduce your cost of hiring, training and onboarding.
PRICING: fully hosted Recruitment & Onboarding Hubs starting from $75 per recruiter / user, per month. Minimum user number or monthly subscription fee applies.
CUSTOMISATION: customisation pricing generally ranges from $25k to $150k, depending on how complex and how involved you want the customisation to be. The full scope is outlined, quoted and agreed upon upfront for customisation before you spend a dollar.
ROI*: average minimum target ROI for a Recruitment & Onboarding Hub is – 3 to 8 times the cost of implementation, per annum. If we cannot help you to build a simple, plausible business case for this range of ROI upfront – we won’t take on your project.

Being green and reducing waste is very admirable – in a warm and fuzzy way. But how can you link it to cold, hard savings and measurable boosts in the bottom line? That’s what our Environmental & Waste Reduction Hubs are designed for…
Having a way to engage EVERY employee, to some degree, in ensuring they are building on your company’s environmental initiatives, environmental statistics and accreditations, and demonstrably reducing waste – isn’t easy. But having a clear, simple, engaging online hub that is both industry and company-specific to constantly prompt and track each employee’s input into environmental and waste reduction figures – makes it much easier. And winning more PR mileage as well as winning more clients – becomes even easier again when you can post the core accomplishments, initiatives and or statistics from your internal Environmental & Waste Reduction Hub onto the public-facing section of your Hub for the whole world to see – selectively – and whenever you want to.
PRICING: fully hosted Environmental & Waste Reduction Hubs starting from $15 per employee, per month. Minimum user number or monthly subscription fee applies.
CUSTOMISATION: customisation pricing generally ranges from $25k to $130k, depending on how complex and how involved you want the customisation to be. The full scope is outlined, quoted and agreed upon upfront for customisation before you spend a dollar.
ROI*: average minimum target ROI for a Environmental & Waste Reduction Hub is – 3 to 10 times the cost of implementation, per annum (including soft benefits like extra PR value, employee retention and attraction, and access to environmentally-contingent client bids). If we cannot help you to build a simple, plausible business case for this range of ROI upfront – we won’t take on your project. So you know that if you are going to invest – you have a solid case for an impressive ROI before you start.

One of the largest and most avoidable reductions in company net profits as of 2018, is poor employee training and or low productivity due to lack of continual or cost-effective training on an ongoing basis. One of the main reasons for poor or irregular training is the drain on time and duplication of training due to it not being automated…
Every business has its own way of doing things, its own inside knowledge and necessary skillsets for employees to acquire and or hone, its own ‘secret sauce’ and industry knowledge / trade secrets. And all of those are only as good as the training provided to the employees that need to use and or access it.
But most companies to this day, still do not have systematic, automated training systems that are engaging and have rich content (like short, concise training videos on key topics, which are relatively easy and cost-efficient to make). And most companies to this day rely on person-to-person training – rather than automating repeatable training (ie safety inductions, product training, policies training, customer support training etc) via having it recorded (text, audio and or video) and having it contained within a hosted platform (Learning Management System) that is both customised to their industry and business, and also includes a complete Tracking and Compliance Module that will measure and report on EVERY employee and prompt them (or alert their manager) to utilise every piece of training specific to their role. And reward them points (that may just translate to them keeping their job, or may translate to some kind of positive recognition) for getting through their training content – on time, and per their job requirements. RAW’s Online Training Hubs can address all of these issues, all of these inefficiencies, and get employees to do justice to the company’s knowledge base and industry advantages therein.
PRICING: fully hosted Online Training Hubs starting from $15 per employee, per month. Minimum user number or monthly subscription fee applies.
CUSTOMISATION: customisation pricing generally ranges from $35k to $250k, depending on how complex and how involved you want the customisation to be and or if you want RAW to have a 3rd party record the training content (eg videos or podcasts etc) as part of the set-up process. The full scope is outlined, quoted and agreed upon upfront for customisation before you spend a dollar.
ROI*: average minimum target ROI for a Online Training Hub is – 7 to 20 times the cost of implementation, per annum (including soft benefits like extra employee productivity, higher employee engagement and retention, faster onboarding or ramping-up times for employees etc). If we cannot help you to build a simple, plausible business case for this range of ROI upfront – we won’t take on your project.

If your company, like most of our clients, spends millions per year on suppliers for services, materials, utilities and everything in between – then procurement of the best quality products or services at the right price is in itself an involved and resource-hungry process. So we build customised Supplier Bidding Portals that enable faster and better procurement – and bigger savings…
Every single dollar your company spends – has to be justified. And every supplier – should value your business. So having a simple but feature-rich online Supplier Bidding Portal that you can get every potential supplier to your business, as well as every existing supplier who wants repeat business – to visit and bid on either auctions or reverse-auctions (lowest price or best offer wins) – can be invaluable. With multi-user support so that key staff and key divisions or locations within your company can post their own auctions or reverse auctions every time they need to procure – an online Supplier Bidding Portal is the way of the future for maximising your value on every purchase.
Settings that allow you to make certain procurement auctions / reverse auctions visible to staff and or other potential suppliers, or if required have blind bidding – or a mix of both – ensures that suppliers sharpen their pencils and are as competitive as they need to be – to win or continue to retain your business.
PRICING: fully hosted Supplier Bidding Portal starting from $55 per user, per month. Minimum user number or monthly subscription fee applies.
CUSTOMISATION: customisation pricing generally ranges from $35k to $200k, depending on how complex and how involved you want the customisation to be. The full scope is outlined, quoted and agreed upon upfront for customisation before you spend a dollar.
ROI*: average minimum target ROI for an online Supplier Bidding Portal is typically around 3 to 10 times the cost of implementation, per annum (including soft benefits like reducing time spent by Procurement Managers or purchasing staff as well as hard benefits like clear cost reductions with suppliers). If we cannot help you to build a simple, plausible business case for this range of ROI upfront – we won’t take on your project. So you know that if you are going to invest – you have a solid case for an impressive ROI before you start.

There are dozens (if not hundreds) of off-the-shelf customer support portals. How are our Employee / Supplier / Client (ESC) Feeback Hubs different? Vastly – they allow anonymous feedback and or non-anonymous feedback on your individual products, services, staff and any part of your business… they aren’t so much about supporting clients as they are about intercepting problems before they cause real harm and or recognising successes, so that they can be repeated.
Employees more often than not will NOT report certain things that are actually critical to your business’s productivity and bottom line:
Likewise, clients and suppliers will frequently not bother reporting issues that they have with:
if they can not do so in a quick, anonymous or 1-to-1 web based portal, as human nature is to not complain if it might be considered embarassing or just not worth the time.
The cracks that all of this mission-critical feedback falls through and is not captured by traditional customer support portals – can have a huge negative impact on your bottom line if not addressed. If you want the truth from employees, suppliers and or clients – and if you also want their best suggestions to recognise good performance or indeed to improve your products or services if they have those ideas – providing a private, if necessary anonymous Hub to do so that is web-based and doesn’t require emails or phone calls, is the absolute best way to do it.
And even just having a Hub of this nature available to employees, suppliers and clients – depending on how you want access to be configured – can in and of itself dramatically improve the perception of your company as open to constructive feedback and help with employee, supplier and client retention.
PRICING: fully hosted ESC Feedback Hub starting from $15 per user, per month. Minimum user number or monthly subscription fee applies.
CUSTOMISATION: customisation pricing generally ranges from $25k to $100k, depending on how complex and how involved you want the customisation to be. The full scope is outlined, quoted and agreed upon upfront for customisation before you spend a dollar.
ROI*: average minimum target ROI for an online ESC Feedback Hub is typically around 2 to 6 times the cost of implementation, per annum. If we cannot help you to build a simple, plausible business case for this range of ROI upfront – we won’t take on your project.

If your company has a multitude of staff, locations, divisions or combinations thereof, then having a one-size-fits-all web presence can be very reductive of your company’s scale, coverage and or diversity. Having a powerful, itemed and user-customisable online Company Directory Hub can ensure your web-based footprint is what it should be…
Company Directory Hubs or Multisites should not, in our humble opinion, be a single page with different addresses, phone numbers and email address representing (and marginalising) each of your branches, locations, divisions or staff. Company Directory Hubs should increase your footprint to your employees, your suppliers and your clients.
A customised Company Directory Hub or Multisite (multiple versions of a website, one complete site for each of your branches or locations or divisions) should be interactive, highly visual, and have solid but simple functionality so that all of your staff, all of your divisions and all of your products and services are individually represented as important enough to have their own web-based real estate. Whether it is just internal, or is also public-facing – both options are readily available in our Company Directory Hubs. Branches, locations and or divisions can also be set up (permission based access per your requirement) to self-maintain their own content, so that their pride in it and it’s relevance / currency, is kept high. Something more impressive than Facebook pages and something white labelled to be your own, company branded Directory / Hub, the way best practices for top shelf organisations demands.
PRICING: fully hosted Company Directory Hub starting from $15 per user, per month. Minimum user number or monthly subscription fee applies.
CUSTOMISATION: customisation pricing generally ranges from $25k to $150k, depending on how complex and how involved you want the customisation to be. The full scope is outlined, quoted and agreed upon upfront for customisation before you spend a dollar.
ROI*: average minimum target ROI for an online Company Directory Hub is typically around 2 to 4 times the cost of implementation, per annum (especially if it is public facing and sufficient SEO is added into this by your marketing agency and or team after it is built by us). If we cannot help you to build a simple, plausible business case for this range of ROI upfront – we won’t take on your project. So you know that if you are going to invest – you have a solid case for an impressive ROI before you start.

Most company intranets, unfortunately, cost more time and create more non-dollar-productive time spent on them – than they are worth. Which is why a RAW Intranet / Extranet is approached from a pure ROI perspective – if it isn’t going to add employee engagement and add to your bottom line, then it isn’t well designed…
Intranets / Extranets built by RAW for its clients are generally designed less around the ‘warm and fuzzy’ aspects that so many intranets have, and more about implementing practical, ROI-generating tools like:

ROI*: average minimum target ROI for an online Company Directory Hub is typically around 4 to 10 times the cost of implementation, per annum – with the main ROI objectives generally being (a) employee engagement (b) employee efficiency (c) employee accountability / reporting (d) employee retention.

Having commissioned, sourced and paid for custom software development ourselves over the years – we have 1st hand experience with some of the difficulties that come with it. The main issue we’ve discovered, the hard and expensive way, is that most software developers don’t know what they are NOT good at. So we have, over the years, learned to stick with what we know – and specialise only in those things. Those are the abovementioned platforms – ranging from Cost Reduction Hubs through to Customised Intranets / Extranets.
What we don’t do – and if you require we would prefer to refer you to other companies that will be better suited to help you with – includes:
We’ve invested thousand of hours and millions of development dollars in the handful of core platforms listed on this site – so to give you serious value, we know that we need to capitalise on what has already been invested – and customise one of those existing solutions / platforms to more closely fit with your needs. Not start projects or platforms from scratch which can be extremely costs, take a very long time, and be extremely hard to accurately quote. We know what we are good at – and what we are not – and we stick with the former and are as honest as possible about the latter.
Deliverables on site metrics including page loadspeed, readability, keywords & user-friendliness (UI/UX)
99.5% uptime guarantee, aside from previously agreed app overhauls or redeployments – as reliable as the world’s most reliable services (Amazon and Google) that are our hosting backbone, can provide
We build and give you a very simple, very clear road map based on (a) our pre-built platforms’ core functionality and (b) the customisation you want – and combine these to be our deliverables. Each bit of functionality is a deliverable that we commit to
We’ll give you the details of the tech stack we use, and the external / 3rd party apps / support we rely on to help deliver your app / platform
At least 1 round of pre-agreed updates to your app, every year, or more regularly if required (and agreed). So your app / platforms stays familiar enough to not throw your users, but has small but practical updates regularly enough to keep them engaged and keep them happy with functionality
Access to not just our in-app, Admin (or permission based) activity tracking and logs, but we’ll also set up Google Analytics as all of our apps / platforms are web-based, so you can get the most powerful analytics on the planet on top of very app specific stats – you choose
All build & update milestones are documented & uploaded to online folder for client records. Total transparency via collaborative tools including Google Drive and Trello – and a simple / clear document trail to keep you informed at key milestones
Content Management System (CMS) provided and customised to your brand / stylesheet, so that your Admins have a level of self-sufficiency and you can contain / limit any support costs by doing minor content updates (if you prefer) yourselves and not be 100% reliant on us – we know that limiting ongoing costs boosts your ROI, so everybody wins
We fact-find, we scope (the customisation components) and we agree on a deadline with you before we start. If we can’t meet your expectations – we will tell you. If we can – we will agree in writing, and commit to that deadline contractually
One of the most critical steps in ensuring real ROI – is ensuring employee buy-in. And if the app / platform is not intuitive and simple enough, they won’t buy into it. So aside from UI / UX, we also ensure easy, in-app tooltips are programmed in as well as basic training materials are available, in-app. So they can self-guide easily through using your app / platform
Guaranteed response time to any urgent requests to ensure mission critical support & or agreed changes are timely. Included dedicated monthly support (starting from 2 hours per month, increasing from there if agreed) as well as emergency response for any potential bugs, potential downtime and or user issues that cannot be addressed with provided in-app tools / documentation etc
Before we start any project, we agree on basic KPI’s – mainly around your users (employee) buy-in and adoption of what we are going to build for you. As long as you allow us to implement things like training materials, alerts, reminders and reward points systems in our apps / platforms – then we’ll agree to KPI’s and commit to them
Clients provide us with an overview of their industry and business as part of our initial Fact Find – your business objectives for improved ROI via employee-facing web apps / platforms are then crystallised. We then map our platforms, and the customisation thereof – to your goals and agree on KPI’s before we start
Undertaken for major pages to plan layout, UI, use of space & core features to optimise app / platform real estate.
Your logo, your brand, your stylesheet – we provide white-labelled apps / platforms because we aren’t nearly as interested in promoting your brand – as we are in promoting yours, to your employees
The world’s leading hosting providers with multi-billion dollar infrastructure and virtually limitless, cutting edge vertical scaling capacity – is where our apps / platforms live, and where your peace of mind comes from
Fillable forms are built, customised and placed strategically to maximise employee submission / conversion / uptake
Every login, every click, every user – it’s all tracked and recorded for you to access and view reports on – whenever you want
Smartphone / tablet /desktop – everywhere your employees work, so do our apps / platforms
XML app map, page title & description meta, permalinks, focus keywords, canonical settings, SEO breadcrumbs & more – the same way you need good UI for anything app or web based to win clients – you need the same to win over your employees
15 point guarantee of what milestones, inclusions and performance ReadyAimWeb provides to the client.
8 pages breaking down all major inclusions in each app / platform build, to demystify the work and the tools incorporated.
Full written, structured, and documented record of all critical app / platform information chosen for inclusion.
Basic support and training / user guide for your employees’ reference to have as a user manual specific to the platform
