They call it software development, some call it a license to print money. Software written uniquely for an individual business can cost tens of thousands of pounds by the time its finished. Software is only low priced when the software suits everyone and its not branded or changed for a businesses need.
The problem lies in the fact that most software to run your business may not be available off the shelf - so what about the rest of us. More often than not, an ideal program might be something than replicates your existing paper based system, so that in electronic form you can retrieve information more easily and save a bit of paper in the process. Some of the software we've written for people can pay for itself by merely the cost savings of not paying for postage stamps and emailing your customers instead.
Custom software comes in many forms and we can consult and advise to the best way forward if your planning on modifying your own software. Great businesses are grown from productive software. Its the one way of ensuring all staff really are 'singing from the same hymn sheet' (to coin a vastly overly used phrase' .We've written software for Accountants, Bridal Shops, Chemists etc and it doesn't cost anywhere near tens of thousands, generally a few hundred pounds invested is all that's needed. If you think your business could lower costs and stay on track better with a custom solution written and branded totally for you, have a chat with one of our team.
Quote: "If I only had a penny for every time I had to....{insert whinge here}..". There are not to many offices that are free from that little gem, but come to think about it, perhaps its a great starting point to automate those repetitive chores that your staff members have to endure on a daily basis, after all, its never a great use of their skills. But its a perfect chore for computers. Very often we find that business automation is a mixed bag trying to narrow down those points in your business systems that need automating. Its 30% discovery, 30% ingenious sometimes crafty thinking and the other 40% is the implementation. With our clever programming, scripting, template creation along side our highly successful and affordable training programs it instantly removes the need for the mundane routines. Staff happier, skills better used and more time to grow your business and not fight paperwork.
Three significant factors come from great software that's been tailored to a business.
1) a faster more streamlined and more agile business model that can respond to customers needs quicker and more effectively.
2) Greatly increased productivity for staff that's a pleasure to use and work with for them.
3) Lower business costs & greater profits due to the above. There's a reason why businesses use custom software - it works exceptionally well at keeping them more profitable than their competitors.
