Every business is different and every business aspires to be different to succeed, so why use an off the shelf solution for software and transport management?
With technology getting better and better it is much more affordable to get a web driven database that is built to your own specification and business needs. You shouldn't have to pay for an out of the box software solution such as a transport management system that is the same as all of your competitors and may have more or less than what you actually need for your business.
Many off the shelf solutions are too generic for business they are developed to cover all bases without getting into too much detail. It is this lack of detail in some areas and waste of computer space in others that will prevent you having a lean process that will enable your business to excel.
A web driven database is an easy solution for your business, not matter what processes you want to manage, from accounts to transport management an online solution can be tailored to include as much as you want and will not clog up the system with services and tools that are not applicable to your business. Another great thing about a web driven database is it can be accessed from anywhere so you can manage your business in the office, at home or even in a Villa in the Mediterranean! It also means that you can look at the same data in too different places, ideal if you are on a conference call or your business partners are not in the same room as you.
Being online you will also be informed of any upgrades to the system to ensure that your transport management system is always up to date and your business doesn't fall behind the times. Having a bespoke software solution is a great way to stay ahead of your competitors as you can streamline your processes and make the software specific to the way you work, while they are fighting with a generic solution that is sold to hairdressers, printing companies and haulage companies alike.
