Then you can find out how Util360’s professional system could benefit you and organize your business activities.
Infrastructure of Business Incorporating Segregated Applications
A steadily expanding company can become entangled due to complex and multiple applications. When the business starts, company management installs software to manage their bookkeeping.
Lately, to expand the customer community, they have opted for management systems; along with these systems, they launch particular portals to deal with customer care problems. Multiple software and spreadsheets are utilized to address the issues of Inventory management, order management and fulfillment systems.
Furthermore, to maximize the top-line revenue, the company moves towards expanding the business to multiple locations and launching additional sales channels, prompting E-commerce integration, recurring billing, and financial consolidation. Companies opt for applications from various vendors and homegrown applications to support these channels and processes, thus making the system even more complex.
Businesses that evolve their systems over time in this manner can find themselves with a poorly planned infrastructure that handles short-term tactical needs sub-optimally while holding the company back from scaling efficiently over the long term. This tangled web of segregated business software systems, often called a “software hairball,” inhibits flexibility and productivity, ultimately slowing down the company’s ability to grow.
Challenges Paved due to Segregated Infrastructure
When expanding companies go for multiple applications, then multiple problems are caused. These problems grow gradually as the company keeps expanding. Here are the few top most complex challenges that companies might face:
Employee productivity wasted
Every employee operates optimally when the company starts its journey toward expansion and growth. This journey is often hindered when the employees face problems due to a disjoint and disconnected system which also paves the way for errors and consumes long enough time to keep employees from actual tasks. Operations such as order processing, invoicing, expense approvals, and fulfillment are time-consuming tasks, and miscommunication makes it complex and takes double the effort and time.
Lack of real-time visibility
When software systems are un-integrated, you have multiple overlapping databases and need help to easily get a view of business performance in a timely fashion. Reports showing performance across your finance, sales, marketing, service, and fulfillment departments are crucial to giving you an integrated view of your company’s operations.
Most companies simply give up on acquiring this information regularly because of the time it takes to source, extract and analyze this data. For those who do, countless hours are wasted trying to tie unrelated, error-prone, and outdated information together. Consequently, businesses either make critical decisions slowly based on inaccurate information or make hasty and risky decisions based on gut instinct.
Maintenance and excessive costing
When multiple applications are involved, IT wastes a lot of time and money to integrate, maintain and acquire the latest versions of applications. Sometimes, such a situation might occur when an IT team purchases an application's latest versions and still requires additional integration and maintenance to work with other software. Therefore, it wastes time and money, which is worth saving and utilizing for deserving operations.
Ineffective customer support
Customer support and acquisition and a healthy customer-employee relationship are the key fundamentals on which a company grows and makes its mark. Due to ferocious competition in the market, if the services slow down for even a moment, customers would simply shift their dimensions and move on to the next best company providing efficient services. If the customer has to get information, find the status of an order or Contact the company repeatedly, it will exasperate one automatically. Therefore, companies require a solution or software that works with integration and provides a system that is well connected and provides customer information portals that they can access anytime and anywhere.
