6 Reasons why you should implement business software now
A global health crisis, the recession, the macroeconomic turmoil - whatever it is that is impacting your business the most right now creates an atmosphere of uncertainty, that almost every business owner and manager has to deal with.
Even if you might not realize it right now, there are always opportunities to make the best out of a situation, you just need to reframe your perception.

Think of ways how you can come out of this crisis stronger, and how you can help your business thrive in the future.

Working hand in hand. Working at a team is efficient if every member can benefit from their teammates work. This not only speeds up the whole process but also increases the communication within your company. Odoo offers transparent documentation of all work steps within a project and enables every member to get in contact with their colleagues at any time. If expertise or help is needed, colleagues can be added to a specific project or work step even if they weren't included in the first place.
Communication is key. There are many ways customers can reach out for companies. In uncertain times it's extremely important to be available and provide short ways to contact you. Your customers might have questions and concerns you can resolve. Make sure that your company's communication with your customer is suiting the situation and your business. Odoo supports your ideas, offering many possibilities to enable and improve your communication with your customers. Due to its transperent interface, you'll see every message sent by your customer and can create ways to interact directly with them in only one click.
6. Centralize your data
Short distances enable short processing times. You're known for your good work, keep that up! In the big competition on the market not only quality is a crucial fact but time also! A growing business means growing data base, too. This brings with it the challenge of managing data efficiently. Make sure that your competitors don't leave you behind. A software like Odoo gives you exactly this overview and enables fast order processing. Create short paths for your data flow and accelerate your business processes.
Ready at anytime. Whenever, wherever an order comes in, you need to check your data: Is this client already one of yours or are they new? Do you already know the service or product he wants to buy? Do you have it in stock? When can you provide the ordered service? What about your supplier? The list of questions you'll have to answer is long. Odoo can cut these processes shorter. It is not only browser-based, it also offers a mobile iOs and Android application. Which makes working easy while avoiding a loss in efficiency: You have all you need well structured and with a click at hand - any where and at any time.
