In today’s modern digital era, businesses must constantly adapt to innovations in order to gain a competitive edge. While many turn to software solutions, some rely solely on standard, off-the-shelf programs. However, companies that embrace custom software solutions can surpass those that fail to adapt to innovation.
We have compiled the 5 main problems businesses may face without custom software solutions:
Inefficient workflows - Many companies still rely on outdated systems, which leads to wasted time, increased errors, and poor resource utilization. Research shows that inefficient operations can result in a loss of 20–30% of annual revenue. Custom software streamlines workflows by automating repetitive tasks, enhancing overall efficiency.
Inefficient Integration – Standard software often struggles to integrate with existing systems and data. This brings us back to the core issue: such companies fail to adapt to innovation. Trying to combine multiple programs usually leads to data loss and user dissatisfaction.
Poor data management - Businesses today are drowning in data but barely tapping into its potential. According to Harvard Business Review, companies only analyze about 12% of the data they collect. Custom software, on the other hand, provides automated reports, analytical tools, and real-time dashboards, enabling businesses to effectively use data in decision-making.
Weak customer relationships - Off-the-shelf CRM systems often don't align with the team's workflow. According to research, around one-third of CRM projects fail due to difficulties in usability. Custom-built CRM systems, on the other hand, enable stronger customer relationships, automated response mechanisms, and personalized approaches for each client.
Cybersecurity risks - As companies grow, their security needs also increase. However, standard software often fails to meet these needs, creating potential risks. It’s well known that data breaches can severely damage a company’s reputation. In fact, according to IBM Security, data breaches cost companies an average of over $4 million. Custom software is built with the latest security protocols and is tailored to scale alongside your business.
How to get started with custom software development?
✔️ Defining requirements and objectives – First and foremost, it is important to clarify the main goals of the project or business and accurately define the requirements.
✔️ Assessing existing problems and needs – It is necessary to analyze the current situation to identify existing problems and evaluate specific needs.
✔️ Identifying infrastructure and system requirements – These needs may include areas such as CRM, HRM, financial systems, warehouse management, and monitoring and evaluation tools.
✔️ Collaborating with a professional team – Working with an experienced and professional team that aligns with the requirements and objectives is key to achieving successful results.
