When it comes to meeting your business’s software needs, you have several options to choose from. One of them is to use generic applications available on the market, while another, more powerful and tailor-made option is to create software specifically tailored to your needs. At PARTILHA ESMERADA, we are convinced that choosing tailor-made software presents a multitude of technical, financial and sustainable advantages compared to using generic applications. In this article, we’ll explore these benefits and show you why investing in custom software is the way to propel your business to success.
1. The limitations of “standard” software
Regular or subscription-based applications , whether for project management, accounting, or other needs, have their limitations. They are designed to serve a wide range of users, which means they may not perfectly meet the specific needs of your business . You often find yourself making compromises, adapting your internal processes to match the functionality of the application, rather than having a solution that fits your needs.
Cumulative subscription fees
Another major disadvantage of generic apps is the cost of monthly or annual subscriptions. These costs add up over time, and your business ends up spending a considerable amount of money in the long run on features that it may not need or only partially use. This can represent a significant financial burden, especially for small businesses.
Lack of flexibility, flexibility
Generic applications are often rigid and inflexible. They are not designed to grow with your business. When you need specific features or changes to better meet your changing needs, you depend on updates provided by the app publisher, which may not arrive as quickly as needed (or worse, be unresponsive to your needs).
2. The advantages of tailor-made software
We could say that tailor-made is a bit like premises for a factory which perfectly meet its production needs. Not everything will fit, which is why the construction must be designed according to:
- of its activities
- of the organization of its production
- of the professional profile of its employees
It’s exactly the same thing for software and mobile applications designed specifically for you!
Financial advantages of tailor-made
“ It’s going to cost me an arm and a leg ,” some will say. But be careful of preconceived ideas! Investing in tailor-made products can be more profitable in the long term.
- No hidden fees : No more monthly subscriptions that end up adding up. You pay once for your software and that’s it.
- Update according to YOUR needs : no need to pay for updates that don’t help you. You only invest in what is relevant to you.
- Saving time : Time is money. With a perfectly adapted tool, your team works faster and more efficiently.
Sustainability and the ability to evolve over time
The needs of a business change, it is inevitable. The market is evolving, new regulations are appearing, competition is intensifying. So how can your software keep up?
- Scalability Flexibility : You’re not stuck with outdated features. Your custom software evolves like your business.
- Integration with other tools : Are you using a new tool or third-party service? Integrate it into your software.
- Adapted maintenance and support : No generic support, but a team that knows your software and your needs like the palm of their hand!
3. Custom software vs. Ready-made application: The match!
To really weigh the pros and cons, let’s go head-to-head!
- Customization : Custom software: 100% | Ready-made application: ❓(often less than 60%).
- Long-term cost : Customization can cost less over time than multiple subscriptions.
- Scalability : The tailor-made product is designed to evolve with your needs. The app ready…well, keep your fingers crossed!
