Reduce hidden costs with efficient software

Inefficient software costs companies millions a year - are you one of them? Managers are often unaware of the possibilities that modern technology offers today, and unknowingly pay their employees to do work that could be significantly more efficient. Long loading times, cluttered workflows, or unnecessary clicking are just a few typical examples of how outdated software slows down entire teams, and ultimately costs you a lot of money.

If you’re reading this article, you’re probably wondering if your current IT solution is actually effective, and if there’s possibly room for improvement. We know from experience that many businesses, regardless of industry, still rely on boxed solutions or “outdated” programs. Boxed solutions may be universal, but that is why they cannot fully meet the specific needs of companies, which in direct proportion leads to lower efficiency. In addition, there are of course companies that own customised software, but it certainly no longer meets today’s technological capabilities and standards. 

Managers are often not even aware of the possibilities that modern technology offers today, and thus unknowingly pay their employees for work that could be significantly more efficient. Long loading times, cluttered workflows, or unnecessary clicking are just a few typical examples of how outdated software slows down entire teams, and ultimately costs you a lot of money. 

Inefficient software often doesn’t bother ordinary employees, but it should bother you 

Do you really know how efficiently your internal IT works? In our experience, when preparing analyses for clients, we often find that the weaknesses of company applications do not bother some employees too much – on the contrary, they can subtly use them to their advantage. They may cite complex operation as a reason for lower productivity, long system loading times as a reason for inactivity, and all of this often goes unnoticed by management. 

The problem is that these small efficiency losses, which accumulate daily, can cost a company thousands – if not millions – a year. Yet, companies often don’t have a clear picture of what their software’s weaknesses are, and how much savings the introduction of new technologies and optimized processes could bring. 

How is inefficiency being hidden? 

Hiding behind technical problems 

Employees may claim that their work takes longer because of a slow system, a non-intuitive interface or frequent outages. For management without access to detailed data, it is difficult to assess whether the problem is truly technical or more likely to be in the attitude of the employees. As a result, opportunities for optimisation are then overlooked. 

Manual work where automation could be applied 

Many companies are still using outdated processes where a large number of activities are performed manually when they could easily be automated. Employees who have become accustomed to these processes have no reason to suggest changes because they find the status quo a comfortable regime that is not subject to pressure for greater efficiency. 

Failure to use technology to its full potential 

Modern software offers a host of features that can fundamentally streamline work – from automating routine tasks to advanced data analytics. But if employees are not sufficiently trained or motivated to use these features, the technology remains untapped. This wasted potential then reduces the overall productivity of the team.  

The solution is often more simple than you think

Inefficiencies in business software can be easier to fix than you might expect. The key is to work with a quality, customized software partner who can design a solution that fits your specific processes and needs. Through in-depth analysis and prototyping, you can be confident that the final application will truly support your business, speed up workflow and increase efficiency. Instead of struggling with outdated systems, you get a tool that actually serves you and allows you to focus on what’s important to you.
