Custom Programming
Sometimes, a cookie-cutter solution just doesn’t fit your business. In those situations you want something that fits your exact needs with no room for interpretation. This allows for your business to be efficient, and reduce human error by the greatest margin possible.
When is custom software right for me?
Many times, a business will outgrow their software because they require more functionality, better security, or perhaps they just need something that is better maintained.
Custom software is best suited for businesses that utilize an in house or third party IT company to maintain their in-house software.
Usually, an ideal candidate for custom software solutions has a very unique business model or manufacturing method.
For example, businesses that handle manufacturing, wholesale, and retail all in-house can benefit from customized software, instead of utilizing multiple ERP/MRP/POS solutions to handle each step of their process.
For small businesses, custom software can sometimes be more affordable – as their needs may not be as complex in comparison to the solutions that are currently offered on the market.
What is the benefit to custom software?
Having a custom built solution for your business allows it to grow organically with your business.
You can be sure that you are capturing all the data you need, in a format that is best suited for you and your employees.
Custom software can span any industry, or multiple industries, and still be human-readable by employees.
These solutions are often easier to integrate with online interfaces with APIs.
The possibilities are virtually endless, but it is important to make sure that you have a precise goal in mind when commissioning custom software. It is also important to make sure you compare the pros and cons of current industry-standard software before discounting them.
