Seven signs you may need new accounting software

There are some common signs a business has outgrown its existing system. If your company is experiencing any of these give us a call.

1

Loss of control: A key growing pain is that nagging feeling you no longer have your finger on the pulse and don’t have good visibility of your day-to-day business processes.

2

No single source of truth: If you can’t trust what your reports are telling you about the state of your business, it’s difficult to make sensible tactical and strategic decisions.

3

Information overload: If you are relying on multiple spreadsheets to keep track of things, it’s difficult to get one, consolidated overview of the business.

4

Handling information more than once: Rekeying data all the time? This opens your business up to human error and prevents your workforce from undertaking higher value assignments.

5

Lack of functionality: It’s hard to run an efficient business and keep costs down if your system can’t perform key tasks.

6

Lack of integration: Communicating electronically with suppliers and customers is essential, so you need a system that can integrate seamlessly with third party applications.

7

Bottlenecks slowing you down: If you need to stop key processes, such as order-taking, because your system can’t cope with month end, you are losing valuable productivity.
