Executive Summary
Introduction
myOrbit is an app that gives its clients their time back, offers them
the opportunity to increase efficiency, allows them to focus on reaching
their targets, to strive for excellence and to push the envelope. It is going
to launch businesses into the future. After analyzing the construction and
agriculture industries, two segments stood out to KnecTech: equipment
management and the seed industry. In this plan book you will meet the
myOrbit brand, be introduced to the equipment management and seed
industries, and learn how to market to these segments.
Executive Summary
myOrbit is a new company that must define its brand, select markets
to target, and appropriately position its product to become a leader in
industry-specialized data collection and reporting.
myOrbit will define its brand by identifying its values and instilling
those values into its industry-focused marketing package to seed genetics
and industrial construction decision makers. In addition, by knowing what
the target wants, myOrbit will be able to build long-term relationships
that enable engagement, leading to sales. Defining the brand will take time
and real thought as myOrbit identifies the companys values and simplifies
what it does, and what culture it wants.
myOrbit will focus on industrial construction and seed genetics companies in need of field-data analysis and reporting. These two industries
are large, lucrative, and generate a significant amount of field data. Leaders in these industries have expressed desires for more efficient ways to
On the horizon, myOrbit has the opportunity to provide the best in
security, customer care, and high quality, sub-industry specific apps. These
will be deciding factors for myOrbits clients.

Agriculture in the United States is doing well, according the American Farm Bureau Federation. A recent post stated that todays farmers
produce 262% more food with 2% fewer inputs (labor, seeds, feed, fertil-
13
izer, etc.), compared with the 1950s (American Farm Bureau Federation,
2011). In addition, $115 billion worth of American agricultural products
were exported around the world in 2011 (American Farm Bureau Federation, 2011).
The agricultural industry has seen large changes since the beginning
of the 20th century. The most important of these changes include a decreasing percentage of the U.S. population working in agriculture, a decrease in the number of farms as farm sizes increase, the specialization of
commodities in farms, an increase in exports, and an increase in production capabilities (USDA, 2005). These changes are caused by technological
development, the rise of consumer influence in agricultural production,
and the increasing integration of American farming into national and
global markets (USDA, 2005).
This rapid period of global growth and production and the consolidation of farms has led to more corporate control of agriculture. These
corporations are able to invest in newer technologies and have more resources in times of drought or market instability. Big agriculture corpora-

Company Analysis
myOrbit began with the mission to empower our clients to make better
decisions by providing real-time information from field operations, by
providing a platform that allows businesses to collect data on mobile devices, aggregate the data across forms, and report and analyze in real-time
from anywhere in the world. myOrbits culture includes a small, hard-hitting staff, who have experience in their craft and excel in collaborating
with different industries from their previous backgrounds, which enables
this small group to come together and take myOrbits challenges head on.
Although myOrbit has a lot to offer, the company faces several challenges. One obstacle it faces is identifying the best audience for its product. Several factors to consider when selecting an industry include the
need for more efficient field data collection and real-time data reports, the
will to learn how to use the app, the ability to invest in technology, and
size of the company.
16
Another major challenge is that the company is unknown in the marketplace. This fact presents a problem because potential customers have
no idea the company exists. myOrbit has not promoted its services, so
customers do not realize they need the product or that the product is offered. The only way people can learn about myOrbit is by referral from
employees or previous clients.
A third challenge is differentiating myOrbit from its numerous competitors that offer similar services. Even when weeding out mega corporations with their own apps and cheap data collection apps, there are still
many companies that offer real-time data reporting. The real differentiator
will be brand awareness, quality customer service, and sub-industry specific apps.
myOrbit has several advantages that may help make it a successful
start-up company. First, myOrbit is associated with a successful parent
company, EngageMobile, which may assist myOrbit in its beginning stages. Second, there is a huge demand for increased efficiency and real-time
reporting.
17
Competitor Analysis
The top three competitors for myOrbit are doForms, iFormBuilder,
and FlowFinity. These companies offer data collection applications over a
wide variety of industries ranging from oil and gas to construction. Application programming interface (API) calls represent tasks that are invoked
during runtime like add, update, query data, etc. This features presence
limits the amount of times a person can use for the app. In the end, this
cost may be another of myOrbits competitive advantages as it does not
limit the number of API calls. The chart below shows a side by side comparison of the three companies.

Overview
myOrbits goals are to define the myOrbit brand, to focus on industrial
construction and seed genetics industries, and to position the app in these
markets.
24
Objectives
Construction
Focus on 5,000 medium to upper-sized industrial companies in Missouri. These contractors are concerned with GPS tracking, ordering parts,
timesheets, the tracking of resources, and streamlining communications
among contractors, architectural, engineering, and construction teams.
Thus, real-time reporting is essential.
Agriculture
Target seed genetics labs, seed dealers, and research farms and universities in the Midwest and South. There are 113 potential seed companies
to targets thus far in the Midwest and South. These potential businesses
and organizations have a need for efficient data collection and reporting,
as they study their crops, test variables and collect samples.
25
Tagline
Giving you your time back.
Clients will love myOrbit because it analyzes, organizes and simplifies
data collection and reporting, enabling clients to focus their time on the
direction of their business.

Name
When coming up with the name the app needed to come full circle.
Data collection is all about flowing in a circle and to allowing a business to
build up and predict its future.
mOrbit and clients are all part of a system, a solar system. myOrbit
is the sun. Its clients revolve around it like planets around the sun. They
need myOrbit to function and make the rate at which they revolve more
efficient. Each client moves at its own rate of speed, internally to get
things done. The app that you create for your client will be personalized
to this rate of speed.
This idea stresses the importance of personalizing each app for each
client and understanding that each company works differently. The my
is tells clients that the app is specifically made to run their company at
their own rate, in their own orbit, to successfully collect and report data in
real time.

words myOrbit strives to be associated with.
Additional colors
myAgriculture and myConstruction
When designing items for separate industries, we wanted them to be distinct from each other. The agriculture industry is often associated with
outdoors and nature, so green was chosen. The construction industry is
often assoicated with caution and safety, so orange was chosen.

Construction
The name of the app for equipment management is myConstruction.
This app is orange because it symbolizes caution and safety. After logging
in a user will be directed to a screen with four main choices: the option to
build a new form, access active forms, view inventory, and see completed
forms and their reports.
Inventory was identified as a high demand in this industry and has close
ties with the GPS tracking of a companys equipment. The first screen,
after selecting inventory, takes a user to categories such as hand, lawn and
garden, or heavy equipment. By clicking on heavy equipment it takes the
user to a screen menu of all the different types of heavy equipment the
company has logged. For example, the Case Crawler Dozer 1650 M can
be evaluated for repairs, inspected, or tracked by clicking on its name, taking the app user to a previous form created, allowing multiple point of
entry, simplifying the process.

Agriculture
myAgriculture is the seed industry app. This app is green to symbolize nature represented by this type of data collection. There is a user login
page to secure the app, which is extremely important to any seed company.
From here users are directed to a screen with four main choices: the option
to build a new form, access active forms, view inventory, and see completed
forms and their reports.
Because labs test so many different variables, the type of test to be performed is the first choice when a user selects an active form or a new form.
When a user selects the category seed testing, they are taken to a page to select the crop type and experiment number, identifying the test they want to
access. The forms used as examples, were created from merging agriculture
questionnaires from 5 top universities in the Midwest.
Users may add photos and attachments to each form. Forms completed, go into the completed form section. Results and reports can be
accessed by clicking completed forms at the beginning page. These reports
can be created by simply selecting the variables a study wants to measure.
The app pulls all of the collected data from the field from the database and
instantly those results are visible.

Web Redesign
The website was designed to be simple to navigate and easy to read.
Downplaying the creativity and keeping the design simple makes it easier
for customers to tell where information is at. On the site there are 6 navigation bar items with a sub-navigation bar for 2 of them, which will pull
down for more information.
The homepage of the website contains a link to the free trial, which
myOrbit will be advertising, and will also have the sign-in link, enabling
them to access their companys user portal. This tactic will create website
traffic and help the website move up on the search engine list.
When companies login to the user portal they will be able to create,
see, and edit forms the same way they can in the app. They will be allowed
to export and print these forms and reports, allowing companies to make
copies for records.

Overview
myOrbit will implement a 3-phase marketing plan, taking into account target market characteristics, incorporating appropriate media and
personalizing it with the myOrbit brand. The phases are set up in chronological order, with the more basic elements of advertising and lead-generation first and moving to the more costly and time consuming phases.
54
Phase 1
Developing the new website, utilizing new social media accounts, and
beginning 30-day trials are the first steps in making myOrbits customers
aware of this business-changing service.
Web
Google Ad Words
Google Ad Words offer two options for advertising; search and display. Search ads are small ads that appear when a person types something
into Google. myOrbit should focus on search ads to promote myOrbit
on search engines. myOrbit should bid on keywords, like data collection,
form creator, and mobile forms to have its ads shown higher on searches
in Google. myOrbit has set aside $2,000 to market on search engines. The
costs:
Data collection $3.95CPC (cost per click) 2,400 searches
Form creator $4.31CPC 1,000 searches
Mobile forms $5.39CPC 320 searches
55
Google Analytics
Google Analytics should be used to find potential clients interested
in myOrbit. This tactic reveals information like unique visitors and what
pages people are looking at on the myOrbit website. Knowing these factors will allow myOrbit to better understand what its clients are trying to
learn about the brand and will help in making corrections to the content
of the myOrbit website to improve the user experience and better target
its marketing efforts (B2B Marketing, 2013).
Social Media
Today, nearly all reputable companies have a social media presence
in order to maintain credibility and to communicate with clients and potential clients. There is an overwhelming preference among business professionals to receive news, research, and support online: 67% of decision
makers check Facebook for case studies and detailed technology guides;
63% of business-to-business (B2B) companies use LinkedIn to aid in
finding employees; and 94% of B2B marketers use LinkedIn to distribute
content (Handley, 2015).
56
In addition, social media makes it easy to track who is viewing posts
and engaging with the company by observing integrated social media efforts on platforms like Hootsuite (Nanji, 2015). This integration of social
media means the same content can be recycled and tailored to multiple
account to make myOrbits media campains unified and to reduce the
amount of creativity needed to post relevant content.
LinkedIn
LinkedIn has become a key component in marketing B2B. LinkedIn
generates traffic from virtually all different kinds of businesses professionals in various industries, including construction and agriculture. An
individual browsing LinkedIn is most likely searching for something specific, and LinkedIn makes it easy to find people or businesses because it is
relatively free of clutter when comparing it to other social media vehicles.
LinkedIn will allow myOrbit to target people specific job titles and
companies. For example, if myOrbit is wanting to reach a decision maker
in a company, it can search CEO of company A or branch manager
of company B. It is perfect for generating leads and gaining new business.
57
58
When trying to find leads on Twitter, myOrbit can create Lead Generation Cards (LGCs) that are promoted to a targeted group of users.
LGCs are an effective advertising tool that contain a message from myOrbit, and some sort of offer, like a 30-day trial. Twitter users can simply
clike the offer to automatically share their email with myOrbit. Twitter
also allows companies to view the number of users that see it and click on
the LGCs.
Twitter, also, allows users to download apps directly from tweets.
This particular campaign is called an app card. Users can view the app
card on mobile devices and will only be shown to targeted users who have
a device that is compatible with the myOrbit app.
myOrbit has allocated $1,080.00 to Twitter advertising. On the cheapest ad plan Twitter offers, myOrbit will pay $1.35/click up to $10.00/day.
YouTube
YouTube is the final social media account that myOrbit will join.
YouTube is perfect for product demonstrations, app upgrades, and testi-
59
Offering potential clients a 30-day trial seems noncommittal, but by
investing time and effort and by increased communication with myOrbit,
clients will see how valuable the app is to their daily processes. This tactic
60
nurtures clients and enables myOrbit to get feedback as it perfects its app.
According to Marketing Experiments (2005) research shows that nearly
90% of free-trial members are successfully renewed as paying members.
myOrbit will spend $5,980.00 on advertising on social media. Another added expense is the time of employees that it takes to maintain and
produce the content for social media. While this may seem like a lot, it is
deceptive because it is hard to measure the confidence consumers have in
a credible brand. In addition, if myOrbit is spending the money and these
ads are being clicked on, this means they are being viewed by more than
500,000 people per year. In addition, these adds are specialized, which
means they are targeted to people who are most-likely interested in myOrbits product.
61
Phase 2
The second phase of the marketing plan gets more industry-specific,
targeting the trade shows and magazines of construction and agriculture
and using the testimonies of myConstruction and myAgriculture clients
to persuade their peers to use myOrbit.
Trade shows
Trade shows are an important part of B2B marketing because they
are designed for specific industries, making it easier to penetrate the target
market by building relationships with potential stakeholders, separating
myOrbit from the competition and developing leads based off of booth
visitors.
Trade shows attract companies from all over, so there is no limiting
where this app will go. While at the working a trade show booth it is important to build relationships, to provide promotional materials, and to
take contact information. These are good ways to build brand recognition
and generate leads. Research shows 70% people who attend a trade show

Trade Magazines
Another way to focus on an industry is by advertising in one of its
trade magazines.
This tactic allows myOrbit to focus on demographics to reach an audience that has the appropriate category-purchasing behavior. Trade and
B2B magazines are specific to a certain target market and deliver pertinent
information, goods, services, pricing, news and information directly to the
hands of customers, prospective customers, and investors. The primary
readers of trade publications are middle and senior-management who execute purchasing decisions (Three Marketiers).

Testimonials
Displaying client testimonials is another way to advertise. This tactic
allows potential clients to see friends and rivals use a product and see how
it affected their business. Because it comes from normal people, not people being paid, testimonials work. Testimonials are not strong sales pitches, coming across in a biased voice. This tactic establishes trust (PsPrint).
Testimonials do not have to be expensive and time consuming. Filming a customer answer questions about myOrbit as a company and as an
app and asking how has this app changed his or her business is as complicated as it needs to be. Emailing questions to the customer ahead of time
is courteous.
68
Phase 3
An in-house sales pitch invites potential customers to a social gathering to learn about myOrbit face-to-face. This allows prospective customers to meet the people behind the screen and provides an opportunity to
ask questions. This seminars and face-to-face meetings are an effective
way of speaking to prospective buyers in greater detail about a new product or service (Trade show Marketing Manual, 2006).
69
In-house pitch
Introduction:
(The pitch presenter should introduce himself or herself and tell why
pitch presenter has everyones attention.)
Attention:
A common problem these executives face is working harder not smarter. Although they recognize inefficiencies caused by outdated communications methods and slow data processing, they still use those methods,
which result in poor decisions made due to outdated information.
This chart explains how information is passed through an organization.
Each segment of the business is dependent upon the segment that precedes it. Information is only passed down the line and only reaches the
70
upper levels at the end of the process, taking months or years to get there.
After all of this time has passed, decision makers must make strategic
business decisions with outdated information and with no recent information. The result, poor choices based on old data.
Satisfaction:
But there is another option, myOrbit. My Orbit gives you your time back,
offers you the opportunity to increase efficiency, and allows you to focus
on reaching your targets, to strive for excellence and to push the envelope
without fear of uncertainty.
How does it work? myOrbit is an app takes data entered directly from the
field and stores it in a secure database. Decision makers simply select variables to be measured, and instant real-time reports are created with the
data, enabling them to view trends, share new information fast, and predict their futures.
