Many small and midsize businesses still have a dilemma: whether or not to invest in integrated and customized software or choose a ready-made solution.

The fact is that commercially available software is often not sufficient to meet complex customer needs. There is no perfect solution that fits all realities and as such there are several limitations.

If you are considering custom software, here are some of the advantages of using custom software for your business.

1. Custom Solutions for Your Business

Custom software is exactly what the name implies, software tailored to your needs. The customer can specify their requirements and preferences during the software architecture and development process so that it exactly matches your company's production cycle. It can be as simple or as complex as you like, and it works for larger or smaller companies.

2. Higher efficiency

Some companies work with various programs for different functions, generating inefficiency. An integrated and customized software solution ignores these drawbacks, creating an ecosystem conducive to the smooth running of your business. This will allow you to have a comprehensive view of any part of your operations with minimal effort, allowing for more informed decision making.

3. Greater protection

Hacking attempts are much more effective when hackers exploit “off the shelf” software vulnerabilities because by hacking a company they could break into others using the same software.

Custom solutions create an extra layer of protection for your business, making it much harder to corrupt.

4. Smooth Integration

Technology is constantly evolving. As such, off-the-shelf software may not always adapt to the systems you already have. A custom solution will integrate into your various business processes much more smoothly.

The company that develops the software will also take into consideration the level of experience of its employees to make adaptation as easy as possible.

In addition to all these advantages, we can not fail to mention that a personalized solution will probably provide you with a more personalized after-sales service. Bet on an integrated software solution and make the best decision for your business.
