1. Multi-User
It seems likely that you’ll have come up against the usual spreadsheet complaint of ‘Have you finished with it yet?’
If so, then it will come as good news that with Custom Business Software all the team can be working on it at the same time.
2. Task Automation
Sending out payment reminders and invoices can be a time-consuming task if you are doing it manually with spreadsheets.
However, Custom Business Software will do it all for you at the click of a button, or even just in the background while you get on with other things, if you’d rather.
3. Instant Reporting
When you want to be able to look at a Customer’s history with you, wouldn’t it be nice if all you had to do was select them from a list and then click a button?
Well, with Custom Business Software that’s exactly it. Just pick them from your list of customers and then press Go! A second later it will appear on-screen, in a print-out or in a PDF ready to email.
4. Business Intelligence
With your current setup do you think it would take a long time to compile the last month’s sales figures, or the last year’s?
Well, if you move your business to Custom Business Software you will have those numbers always just a click away. And from there you can drill down into as much or as little detail as you like. Look at the data in different ways. Which was the best month, the best product, the best customer postcodes?
5. No Cut 'n' Paste
Because Custom Business Software stores your data in an efficient manner, your staff won’t have to try to move data from one spreadsheet to the next, say as you start a new month.
So, no more cut ‘n’ paste errors moving data from one spreadsheet to the next.
6. Restrict Access By Login
It can be difficult to keep curious people away from spreadsheets that they may not exactly know how to use, or which contains sensitive information you may not want them to see.
You can restrict access to certain areas in Custom Business Software by virtue of the login priviledges which you assign to each of your team.
7. Users Cant Break The Formulas
In spreadsheets, the data is mixed in with the formulas and calculations so it is very easy for a user to accidentally, or intentionally, delete information or break the sequence of calculations on which you rely.
In Custom Business Software the code and formulas are kept away from the users who will only see the data they need, allowing them to get on with being productive, and you to relax that the system won’t break down because of a spreadsheet mistake.
8. Can Delegate Specific Tasks
Moving your business on to Custom Business Software means that you are giving structure to your business processes. This allows you to delegate more tasks to your team members.
Because the system is simple to use and automates many tasks, you can hand down much of your day-to-day routine and take advantage of the time it has freed up to look at your new business intelligence reporting and direct your business into the future.
