12 reasons to invest in business software
At OGL, we understand that making any change to the way your business is run is a significant decision and one that companies are, quite rightly, very diligent about making. We have helped hundreds of UK companies to overcome their reservations and are delighted to watch those companies go from strength to strength with the help of OGL Software.
We have compiled the top 12 reasons that companies choose to invest in business software. Whether this is investing in a full ERP system for the first time or upgrading their out-dated current system, the reasons below compel companies to make a change in order to ultimately improve efficiencies and boost profits. Usually companies are motivated to invest because their growth is being restricted (reason 1), but often it's coupled with 3 or 4 of the other reasons.
REASON 1
Your business growth is restricted by inefficiency and manual processes
REASON 2
You have financial goals which you are struggling to meet
REASON 3
Your customer service could be improved
REASON 4
Your staff show dissatisfaction with current processes
REASON 5
You would like to expand your customer base but many have strict requirements for systematic processes, traceability and an audit trail (e.g the NHS)
REASON 6
You would like to expand your product portfolio but your staff can’t handle the associated administration of new products
REASON 7
Dead stock is devaluing your business
REASON 8
You have a tendency to overstock meaning cash flow suffers and you are short of warehouse space
REASON 9
You would prefer to employ less people (whilst retaining your turnover)
REASON 10
You have an issue with too much IT downtime
REASON 11
The age of your IT equipment and / or your manual ways of working mean your business is exposed to loss of data, data corruption and the threat of cyber attacks
REASON 12
You have a need to ensure the saleability / future of the business (applies if retirement of key figures is likely)
If any of these issues strike a cord with you, it is very likely that implementing a comprehensive and reliable business software package is what’s needed to move your company forward.
