In this article, we'll explore these common pain points in detail and show you how custom software development can solve them, allowing you to focus on growing your business.

1. Inefficient processes leading to time and resource waste.

With costs at all time highs, businesses today need to operate at a high level of efficiency and productivity. One major pain point for many operators is the inefficiency of their processes, leading to the waste of valuable time and resources.?

It could be manual, time-consuming tasks, a lack of streamlining, or simply outdated systems, but the result is the same – decreased productivity, increased expenses, and frustrated employees.

2. Limited insights and poor decision-making due to inadequate reporting and analytics tools

Poor decision-making and limited insights can be a major roadblock for business, leading to missed opportunities and costly mistakes.

In our fast-paced operational environment, having access to real-time data and the ability to make informed decisions is crucial. However, many leaders are still relying on manual processes, spreadsheets, and outdated analytics tools that simply can't keep up.

3. Inconsistent customer experiences across multiple channels

The third major pain point businesses face is inconsistent customer experiences across multiple channels.?

With customers accessing your business through various touch points such as websites, social media, and brick-and-mortar locations, it can be challenging to maintain a consistent brand image and provide the same level of customer experience across all channels.?

This lack of consistency can lead to frustrated customers and reduced loyalty. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software tailored to the exact needs of your clientele is an effective solution to this problem. Our experienced technical leaders such as Vincent Trienpont and Justin MacCarthy have built dozens of CRM solutions for businesses around the world.?

A custom Omnichannel CRM solution can help you centralise customer information, manage customer interactions, and automate key processes to ensure a consistent experience across all channels. It will also give you the flexibility to create a single view of your customer, track their interactions, and provide relevant and timely responses to their inquiries.?

This data is invaluable for understanding your customers and your business, which in turn empowers faster decision making and the ability to focus on what really drives your revenue, and where you’re wasting your time.?

4. Integration issues between different systems and software.

Integration issues between different systems and software can be a significant hindrance for businesses. When your systems do not integrate together effectively, valuable data can be lost, and critical processes can become bogged down.?

This leads to inefficiencies, frustration, and ultimately, a negative impact on the bottom line. Custom integration software provides a solution to these problems by creating a seamless communication and data sharing process between different systems.?

With custom integration software, businesses can connect disparate systems and software, allowing for a smooth and efficient flow of information, which leads to increased productivity, improved data accuracy, and streamlined processes.?

If you want to learn more about how we bring everything together, read our article on APIs. For the short and sweet: most software applications have Application Programming Interfaces, or APIs for short. These allow different systems to share data.?

Some common examples of popular API integrations include:?

• Linking 3rd party stock management systems to common e-commerce platforms like Shopify, Magento or WooCommerce;?
• Integrating accounting tools like Xero or Quickbooks with payment platforms like Stripe or Wise;
• Using APIs from Google Maps to provide location data in a mobile application.???

Imagine the time you could save if all your applications play nicely together? That’s exactly what we can achieve for you!

5. Slow and outdated technology causing lag and frustration for employees

Business leaders and their teams need to be able to access information and complete tasks quickly and efficiently. Outdated tech often results in long wait times, crashes, and lost productivity, which ultimately affects your company's bottom line.?

How many times have you been stuck due to systems lagging or crashing, information suddenly missing or integrations that don’t… integrate?
