Custom Business Management Systems: From Solving Problems to Increasing Efficiency
Business owners, especially in non-technical offline industries, often face a range of challenges that require quick and accurate solutions: how to track sales, calculate profits, plan resources, and assess strategy effectiveness. Questions of balance management (inventory, assets) and cost control (employee payments, rent, regular expenses) become everyday issues.
Most companies already have an accounting department that handles taxes, employee payments, and procurement. However, accounting often only reflects the current state of affairs rather than providing real-time data. Planning may be done in Excel, warehouse data may be in another system, and this fragmentation of information makes decision-making difficult.
The situation becomes even more complex with long-term projects, where contracts may take months or even years to complete. In the end, the profit may not meet expectations, and it’s often too late to renegotiate terms with clients or contractors, resulting in financial losses.
Why Standard CRM/ERP Solutions Don’t Always Work
There are ready-made CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems available on the market that aim to address these challenges. They offer tools for tracking customers, resource planning, and optimizing business processes. However, these standard solutions are not always a good fit for your business for several reasons:
- Inflexibility: Off-the-shelf solutions may not adapt to the unique needs of your business. Implementing them often requires restructuring existing processes, leading to wasted time and resources.
- High Customization Costs: Adapting standard CRM/ERP systems to meet the specific needs of your company can be expensive. Providers are often unwilling to make adjustments for a single client, or if they are, the costs may exceed the budget.
- Integration Issues: Various programs for sales, accounting, and inventory often don’t synchronize with each other, making it difficult to collect and process data efficiently.
- Ineffectiveness for Long-Term Projects: When working with long-term contracts, it can be challenging to accurately forecast resources and revenues, often leading to overspending and lost profits.
