Believe it or not, the software we use to help run our businesses could be one of the main stumbling blocks in our company's financial growth.
If you're bouncing between Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, Quickbooks and a host of other applications designed to do just one thing, it can be very difficult to make sense of what's happening in your business.
If that describes you, it's time to look for an integrated solution to running your company.
Software developers have written specialized software for almost every industry imaginable, from POS systems for retailers to complete Accounting / Inventory / Customer Relationship / Sales / Service systems designed for specific industries that manages your entire business from just one application.
Some will be on-premise only and might require a server. Others might be cloud-based, which would require only an Internet connection to be accessed from anywhere. Some can be expensive. Some are surprisingly inexpensive. Almost all are developed by people with more in-depth knowledge of your industry than Microsoft or Quickbooks.
To find software designed specifically to run businesses in your industry, do a web search for your industry followed by phrases like "management software" or "management application".
