It all sounds perfect until, over time, companies run into limitations that do not allow them to streamline specific processes or adapt tools or functions to perform repetitive tasks in an automated way.
Therefore, when you do not have a software that adapts to the needs of the company, you have inefficiency effects and low productivity which represents a problem in the short, medium, and long term.
The popular phrase “cheap is expensive” seems to be a good example to illustrate this type of situation.
More and more companies and entrepreneurs are opting for customized applications thanks to the option of having an application that is built under the business idea of the company as well as prepared for future changes or evolution of the application in parallel to the growth of the company, especially when this software oversees the heart of the business.
The development of a customized software that centralizes or allows the integration of information, facilitates the access to the different users of the system and allows the constant evolution and adaptation of new functionalities is the best investment that a company can make.
The main reasons why custom development has a positive impact on companies are:
- Adaptation to the needs of the company
- Exclusivity and intellectual property
- Evolution and growth of the tool in parallel to the growth of the company.
- Long-lasting and recoverable investment in the short or medium term.
- Material acquisition and differentiation within the company’s value.
In conclusion, custom software development is a trend that today is being acquired by small (start-up), medium and large companies as well as entrepreneurs who want to start or integrate to their business a solid base, at software level, with a platform that not only allows them to continue to grow and evolve but also to be part of the material value and differentiation of the company and an investment recoverable in the short term.
