CUSTOMER CONFIGURED: HOW DELL COMPUTER CORPORATION CLICK WITH CUSTOMER


Dell is extremely responsive. Buyers go on Dell’s Web site and design their own computer. They give their payment authorization, which means that Dell receives the money in advance and can use the funds to pay for the supplies needed to build the computer. Because its computers are built to order, Dell carries an industry leading four days of inventory. It takes delivery of components just minutes before they are needed. At its Austin, Texas, factories, a Dell system can in some cases is built, have the software installed, be tested, and be packed in eight hours. Dell’s costs are lower, allowing it to price its computers lower than competitors’ prices if it wishes.

Yet speed is only one part of the Dell equation. Service is the other. In fact, it was through veering away from its successful business model that Dell discovered the importance of customer service. In 1993, the company began trying to sell to retailers, mainly because everyone else was. Customers were disgruntled because of poor retail service. Dell ultimately abandoned the retail channel.
Corporate customers make up about 80 percent of Dell’s business, and the company manages its corporate accounts with a top-notch sales team. Dell also installs custom software and keeps track of business customers’ inventory for them. Through the use of premier Dell.com, customized customer Web pages at the Dell site, the company has created a 24-hour order-entry system. Big customers can click on the site to see all kinds of information about their preferences and needs. The site can be accessed worldwide by any company subsidiary and employees, not just purchasing agents, can use the Premier Dell.com to purchase computers according to an automated policy, “And a fabulous way for us to interact with our customers.”
