What is a Custom Business Solution?

Sometimes a business may require a database/system that doesn’t involve the typical functionality which is often associated with a CRM (leads, quotes, opportunities, etc); This is where a Custom Business Solution comes in, which is designed and developed specifically to meet your unique needs. As a Dynamics 365 Partner, we have the ability to leverage other applications within the Microsoft platform, such as Microsoft Power Apps, providing us with the tools to build solutions that often do not include any functionality relating to traditional CRM as we just mentioned. The system is fully flexible and just like all our bespoke solutions, can be extended further over time as your business grows and requirements change.

How to tell if your business requires a Custom Business Solution…

A common reoccurrence we see amongst many businesses is that their existing processes rely heavily on complex spreadsheets, old disparate systems and more than one piece of software. At times we see customers attempting to take these complex processes & data and fit them into an off-the-shelf solution. However, this causes challenges as the system is not designed in a way that suits individual business needs. A custom-built solution is able to mold itself around a business and its processes & requirements, as opposed to having to mold your processes & requirements, around a more rigid system. Once that system has been implemented successfully within a business, the overall impact and value will result in justifying any outlay in what the project costs. To give a few examples of the benefits:

• Increase efficiency
• Improve visibility of data
• Automate business processes
• Ability to work anywhere, at anytime
• Enhance employee productivity

Our team will work with you from a consultancy perspective to understand your requirements and what you need from the software, to then build a unique solution tailored accordingly to your needs.

How much does a Custom Business Solution cost?

It is often thought that a Custom Business Solution is going to cost tens of thousands of pounds, and whilst there are certainly clients that have a need to spend that amount (due to size, the complexity of the project, etc) there are lots of use cases to build and develop a solution which is bespoke, allows businesses to work more efficiently and in a more systemised way, but doesn’t have to cost the world.
