Below are a few ways that replacing paper-based systems and spreadsheets with a custom software solution will improve your hire business.
Build a Clearer Picture
With goods constantly moving in and out it can be hard to build a clear and accurate picture of a hire business. Without a clear picture of what is currently going on it’s impossible to make predictions and implement smart decisions to drive success. It’s great to collect data about your business, it's even better when you can collect the right data, data that will provide valuable insights. Off the shelf hire software often misses the mark because it lacks specificity and can’t meet the individual needs of a hire business.
Productivity
Automation and smart integration with accounting systems such as Xero and MYOB reduce processing time for staff which increases productivity and leaves more time to focus on other aspects of the job. Your team can be confident in the accuracy of the information and perform their tasks faster and more efficiently/.
Customer Satisfaction
The increasing pressure on all businesses to streamline services and improve efficiency is challenging, and the hire industry is no exception. Customers are demanding a higher level of service and if you can’t provide that your competitors will be more than happy to help your customers out. Ensuring your customers find the process simple and enjoyable is key to any successful hire business. That’s why maintaining strong relationships and the personal touch within your hire business are so important. However, contrary to belief utilising software won’t negatively impact your ability to spend time with customers. Instead, staff can spend more time with customers and less time on spreadsheets!
