How Flexible Is Your Software

Why Is This Important

We make a big deal about how Front Office Box is flexible so businesses can use it in ways which suit them.

Understandably some readers have trouble understanding why this is important. It sounds a lot easier if the software is built specifically for their business. They probably haven’t figured out that no two businesses work exactly the same.

When it comes to stuff in the back office – inventory, billing, accounting – most operations can change to suit the software. But not in the front office. That’s where the Value Proposition, the Unique Selling Points, the Customer Relationship are. Nobody wants to lose their competitive advantage, just to suit some software.

That’s precisely why so many small businesses mash together their own flavour of system. They use a combination of sticky notes, white boards, spreadsheets, email, and lots of stress and sweat. It’s better than being the same as the guys down the street.

And that’s why we made Front Office Box so flexible.

How Flexible?

Well this week we’ve signed up new users in these categories:

* Business development consultants
* Global sales management
* Area sales reps
* Systems Integration
* Web Site design
* Hospitality Management
* Courier service
* Wedding planner
* Dental chairs
* Theatre company.
It was this last one which motivated this post – a theatre company. How cool is that?

Finally Why is This Important to You

All businesses change as new doors open and older ones close. As your business changes will your software let you do what you need? Or do you need something more flexible?
