Hinchman Racing Uniforms Point of Sales

This project is sponsored by:

The project aims to streamline and integrate Hinchman Racing Suits ordering, inventory control, and invoicing processes. Hinchman has been making racing suits since the 1920s and today outfits Indy 500 drivers and sells replica suits. The existing technology of the Hinchman ordering process starts with their generic website to display the racing suits. Once the customer has made their suit ordering decision, the customer must call Hinchman and manually place their order. Hinchman uses QuickBooks, which is an accounting software that manages finances, for invoicing and tracking order completion. This project is necessary because in this digital world, customers are expecting to place an order and be sent an electronic invoice instead of having to place the order manually. Customer satisfaction keeps companies in business, so making the interface user-friendly is a top priority. Hinchman will also benefit from this upgrade by saving time taking orders and more organized order management. The project will impact all users of the site, Hinchman, and the ordering process. This project is focused on creating a more efficient, streamlined ordering process for Hinchman Racing Suits.
