Our sole mission is to make sure that every buyer finds the Best-Fit provider designed for their specific situation (and not just a provider promoted by analysts or media). Use Case lets us achieve that by understanding the "context" for the usage of an application.
A use case consists of two parts:
The need (e.g. marketing software with email and CRM, agile project management software, ecommerce system for drop shipment etc) The target user (eg. freelancers, marketers, small businesses, retail industry or other)
In the use-case "Marketing software with email and CRM for freelancers", "Marketing software with email and CRM" is the need of "freelancers", the target user group.
"Use Case" is extremely effective in understanding the "case" for the "use" of a specific software or service. The needs and the target users can be as generic or as specialized as a client wishes. At VendorFit we try to cover all variations of needs and target users.
