Todays pain – tomorrows solution
Are you drowning in data? Can’t get the reports you need? If you are wading through spreadsheets and hoping there’s another way then we have good news. There is.
It’s possible to grow and even thrive without support from joined up business software, but eventually your lack of up to date technology will start to hold you back.
We spoke to a company the other day who were struggling. Their staff were tied up with needless manual processes, they were counting stock by hand, copying and pasting information over and over and endlessly seeking out the right managers for signatures and approvals.
If you think this might be you, then you could be missing a whole raft of quick wins – like actionable insights from reports, automating manual processes, or just having one central place for all your data.
Manage your business with a single cloud ERP
At InCloud Solutions we champion a cloud based solution designed for medium sized and growing companies that could help you streamline business processes at a stroke. Business ByDesign ERP will manage your business from end to end on a single intelligent cloud ERP suite. Get accurate stock levels in real time, swipe an app for approvals on the go.
Business ByDesign is an ERP software suite in a box – which means it has several modules, (eg finance, project management, customer relationship management) and it comes pre-configured – this allows you to scale up and compete without the complexity and cost of a bespoke system. This means implementation time is drastically reduced because you are working with best practices rather than trying to re-invent the wheel.
