Custom Enterprise Software Development Services

WHAT IS ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE (ERP)?

In general, enterprise application software–also called Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software–is large-scale software that provides mission-critical solutions to an entire organization with a variety of user roles and actions. It increases the efficiency and productivity of the entire company, providing simultaneous information and access to data and allowing faster analysis and decision-making. Any software that handles a majority of tasks in an organization’s enterprise can be defined as enterprise software and can be custom created to fit an organization today and grow with it into the future.

Most businesses have multiple software solutions used by a variety of different teams for varying tasks. With no easy way to integrate these solutions across the entire enterprise, employees often become frustrated with having to log in and out of different systems and create entire workarounds to combine data.

Enterprise software solutions are all about integrating the various departments of an enterprise to share available resources and aid in maximum energy utilization, reducing waste. Enterprise software development is intended to help organizations execute and fulfill their business processes quickly, easily, and efficiently to increase profitability.

WHY CREATE CUSTOM ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE?

You need software that will support your business strategy for the future and provide confidence that you will meet or exceed your goals. With a custom enterprise software system tailored specifically for your organization’s unique business needs, you can connect the pieces of the software you have into an integrated system that will provide increased functionality and ensure data can be accessed and analyzed across the entirety of your business. A custom system will fit your organizational workflows perfectly, enabling employees to fulfill their daily tasks with less effort and less pain. You get exactly what you need with the ability to change and grow with your organization.

Custom ERP Development vs Ready-made Solutions: Pros and Cons

Choosing to build a custom ERP system allows you to start where you are and map out where you want to be for your business. You may begin by creating an entry portal for your employees that connects the various existing software solutions your teams are already using. Then, you might decide to build one or more modules to add functionality to your system. You will have a full spectrum of business applications integrated to accelerate enterprise activities while enabling your teams to work better, smarter, and faster. A few custom software development benefits include:

Customization

Move away from using ready-made software that is “one-size-fits-some” and create custom software with exactly the features you need to run your business without paying for unnecessary features that you never use. Your ERP software should enhance the work of your enterprise.

Scalability

As your business grows and changes, so can your custom software. With packaged software, you are at the mercy of others for updates, expansions, and feature additions. With your development partner, however, you can evolve and adapt your custom software to deliver the value your employees and customers need at any point in your business’ journey. As you add new revenue streams, you can add new modules to your custom system.

Visibility

Decisions are only as good as the data they are based on. You want to collect, analyze, and report on the data that is most important to the decisions you need to make. You need software that includes the exact reports you want to generate actionable information instead of the predetermined generic sets offered with ready-made software.

Cost

If you prefer capital expenditures to operating expenditures, custom enterprise software development is the way to go. You will own your code and avoid pricey licensing fees of packaged software. Your costs remain in control—no unexpected notification of increases.

REDUCE ERRORS

Manually moving, entering, and re-entering data into individual systems results in costly mistakes. Automation of appropriate tasks with custom software will result in your operational processes becoming much more accurate, saving money as a result.

IMPROVE REPORTING

Custom reports enable you to get a quick glance at the big picture and dive into the smallest detail without having to gather data from several other systems. Implementing custom reports is an optimal solution that can save you both time and money and can help reveal important actionable insights to keep you on top of your entire business.

STREAMLINE PROCESS

With custom ERP software, you can save your employees’ time and your money by removing time-wasting workarounds needed with many packaged solutions. Custom enterprise software development will help improve processes across your enterprise, increase contact rates, help you keep better track of your inventory, record employee performance, and more.

INCREASE TRANSPARENCY

By formally defining your business processes and connecting the departments across your enterprise with custom ERP development, you will have increased transparency into your company operations. With a mobile app component alongside your web applications, you can even put your business in your pocket.

REPURPOSE EMPLOYEES

Processes that are heavily dependent on repetitive manual activities, such as data entry, are a waste of time for your human employees. By letting ERP software handle these tasks, you can let your staff focus on higher-level strategic activities that will reap more benefits for your business in the long term.

WHAT SYSTEMS CAN BE INCLUDED IN A CUSTOM ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE SOLUTION?

You may have a variety of existing software systems that your teams already love, but you need the ability to connect them. Or perhaps you may be missing some functionality that you would like to build as part of your ERP system. These software systems may include:

CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (CRM)

Managing customer relationships is a prominent goal for every business. CRM systems provide integration for all customer-facing employees in areas such as sales, marketing, and customer support to make informed decisions easily and quickly. Effective CRM systems improve the quality of customer communication while providing insight into customer needs.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT/INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

These systems will focus on product management with software features such as management of purchase orders, distribution, regulatory compliance, manufacturing, and overall inventory management. Capabilities include everything from notification of low stock levels to tracking items from sourcing to final customer delivery.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Accounting and financial management tools are at the center of these systems. They provide easy ways to track accounts payable, receivable, and general ledgers. They also offer the ability to set and monitor budgets and provide accurate financial forecasting.

HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

From tracking sick leave and wage increases to completing performance reviews, these systems focus on the human capital side of a business. Many human resource systems will also include project management and team messaging capabilities.

HOW DO I GET STARTED WITH ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE?

Thinking about building ERP software to manage every aspect of your business can be daunting, especially since you already have a full-time job running your business. Our dedicated team supports you every step of the way and makes the project management process as painless as possible.

We start with a conversation and plenty of questions.  We want to understand what is working for your business today and what causes challenges. We listen to where you want to take your business and what worries you have. You know your business, and your gut is the best indicator of the risk you face. As an added bonus, we’ve found that just explaining your business plans and processes to another business leader can often help you to identify the root causes behind the complaints that your team brings to you.

Next, we help you analyze and plan for enterprise application development.  You won’t want to build everything all at once, so we start with the development of items that will bring you the most ROI, whether that’s operational efficiency for your employees or customer-facing features to delight your users. Together, we lay out your development roadmap to ensure we can successfully complete your project based on your desired internal applications, budget, and timeline. We help you coordinate project development with other important business planning like marketing, training, and implementation processes.

Finally, we begin to design and develop together. You will need to be involved in every step of the software development life cycle as we build your enterprise software system collaboratively, but we provide guidance throughout to help you make decisions, stay focused on your goals, and involve your stakeholders. As you progress through new phases of your project, we maintain the entire roadmap with what is in development for today and for the future. We can assist with collecting feedback from your users and updating plans to match expected experiences.
