How Useful Can Prepackaged Software Be?

Packaged software options are available for almost all business processes. Today, there are package programs offered by different brands in areas such as accounting, inventory tracking, and ERP. A package program may work for you to start with, but on condition that you take into account the problems it has below;

Package Programs For Everyone

Package programs are products that are written once and sold over and over again due to their logic. For this, they stay away from being special to the customer. A software package that claims to see all the work of everyone, often causes you to lose yourself among unnecessary features.

Not Being Flexible Enough

The business world is faster than ever. You may have to make sudden decisions. Your package program will be insufficient to adapt to you. Your customers manage your business, not your industry. Every brand has to update its business model in line with customer demands. Delivery options, payment systems, warranty processes, customer relations… None of these are like five years ago. Just five years.

Not Compatible to Improve Your Business

The only way to improve your business is to understand your business. A package of software does just what it has to do. It does not produce meaningful reports for you. It confines you to the presuppositions of your industry. The software literally follows your business.

What a Software Product Specific to Your Business Will Bring You

Custom software products are prepared for your business after your business is understood by the software team. Your business is built on a data processing system where valuable inputs are valuable. You and your team can know the data that is valuable for your business.

In some industries, the price is really unimportant. The price of the products is so clear that no one can act on the price. Maturity and service in such sectors can bring you customers. Special software products produced even for such extraordinary situations will put you ahead of your competitors.

The business world is not as standard as package programs accept. Although the numbers do not change, the values ​​people give to those numbers may change. Everywhere, in every sector, in all cases, one is not equal to one. A thousand lira today is worth a thousand lira five months later. Therefore; Let's look at the benefits of a special software product that focuses on values, not numbers, offers you the meaningful reports you need to take your business a step forward, and you can control and set targets for processes to work at full efficiency.

Your Values ​​Your Decisions

According to the economic theory, businesses work with the goal of maximum profitability. Although all businesses have the same intentions, their business models are different. This difference is due to the values ​​attributed to the figures. Monthly new customer acquisition for some business models and sales amount determines profitability for some models. You can give your values ​​to the numbers with special software products.

Every business applies discounts to its customers depending on various conditions. One lira of a new customer who will be shopping with your business for the first time this month cannot be equal to one lira of an old customer who has brought in customers as a reference to your business. With a special software, you can ensure that your customers earn discounts from the turnover of new customers that they bring as reference. In custom software, everything is specific to your business model.

Full Efficiency

How much can your business produce when working at full capacity? What is the maximum order amount you can meet per month? Knowing this is the only way to know your fixed costs per product / service.

A special software monitors your exact productivity level for you, and arranges the lead times you need to give for product and service requests in the most efficient way. Thus, it allows you to run your business at full efficiency position for maximum time.

Alternative Costs

Calculate the cost of missing a job… Apart from the profitability you will get from the sale; storage cost of unsold product, cost of delivery personnel, financing cost of your capital lying in the product… A sale is always more than a sale.

Knowing these costs is the way to accurately price your products and services. The only reason for the famous saying "There is work but no money" in our country is not being able to manage the costs correctly. I know businesses that continue their business life thinking they have been making money for years because of their failure in cost management. When the costs were calculated correctly, it turned out that even the financial cost of the enterprise was not covered.

Meaningful Reporting

You decide what is valuable for your business. The meaningful values ​​that will grow your business are specific to your business and your business model. It is very simple, I will try to make the subject more understandable with an imaginary example from the two businesses we encounter every day; Imagine a barber and a pharmacy doing business on the same street, or even two neighboring shops. Let's imagine that they both use a ready-made accounting system for cash and sales tracking. The data that will grow the business for the barber will be "customers who have shaved more than x number in a year" and for the pharmacy the "turnover of over-the-counter products available without prescription". With a program written specifically for their business, both businesses will be able to follow this figure, which is precious to them, and plan for improvement. 

Growing With Your Business

When businesses grow, they change shape. Those who sell construction materials start to build, and those who sell women's clothing start selling baby products. As your business grows, your lines of business, revenue models and revenue items increase. When it comes to this point, you will need to follow each income item, performance and profitability separately. You will also want to have a top view that you can consider all together. If you do not do this, you can cover the loss of the other item with the profit from one item without realizing it like most companies.

Custom software has the potential to grow with a product business. Thus, it allows you to keep track of your changing revenue models and pens with the same clear vision.

Result

Not every firm that uses special software can be a world giant, but world giants do not use packaged software. Special software will not grow your business. It supports and keeps your business manageable as it grows. Packaged software is on your feet as it grows. If you have big goals, a special software designed specifically for your goals will be ready to walk you to your goals. If you say “Buralar Yetiyo Be Gülüm”, package programs can work for you.
