How Web Applications Can Simplify Your Life and Boost Profits

Did you think the word Applications was just for those little square things you download onto your mobile phone from the App store?

The word ‘Application’ actually stretches far beyond the world of smartphones. Long before Cloud Computing and Cloud Solutions were buzz words, application developers in the website development industry were building customised software for businesses on the web before Google was invented. This customised software is designed to streamline business processes, freeing up staff from automated administration tasks and reducing errors in your business processes.

How can commissioning a web application development help simplify your business and save you money?

1. Automate repetitive administration tasks

If you’re still using excel to manage data in your organisation, it’s definitely time to get into website application development. Web applications are designed to make managing data really simple and intuitive. Repetitive administration tasks, like marking off invoices, ensuring emails have been replied to, tracking the progress of a customer and managing product distribution can all be automated, reducing errors and time wasted on meaningless administration tasks.

2. Simplify and speed up your customer interactions

Do you customers interact with you electronically? Are you reconciling your electronic payments with your cash and bank statements manually? Is your accountant still printing out invoices that were received in their inbox? Do customer support create physical files for each client and print off interactions? All of these tedious tasks waste paper and precious employee time. Providing an electronic portal that integrates with your backend systems for your customers to interact with you will reduce paperwork and unnecessary collation and tracking of data. Plus, your customers will think you are awesome!

3. Customise software to exactly how your business operates

If you’ve tried to incorporate an ‘off-the-shelf’ website application into your business, only to be frustrated by the way it doesn’t exactly match the way you do business, you’re not alone. Before you throw it away, take it to a web application development company such as Complete Cloud. Likely the software is open for other developers to customise it to meet your needs. You don’t have to put up with layouts developed for someone else. Utilise your current software to its full potential through customisation.

4. Create software that generates revenue for you

What software do your clients need? Are you managing a particular aspect of their life that would be made simpler with some automated programming? You could have a market opportunity on your hands to develop a ‘Software As A Service’ website application. Clients expect to be able to use software directly over the internet (without downloading and installing) and are used to the idea of monthly payment plans. You could develop a secondary source of income by solving your client’s problems both through offline methods and online methods. Discuss the potential for this with your web application developer.

The power of web application development to transform your business is limited only by your imagination. It used to be that only big companies could afford customised software but web applications are fast becoming an accepted part of everyday business and much more affordable.
