Pulse Business Software – The ideal solution for Growing Businesses.
Most businesses usually start small and test the water, the marketplace and how the product or service is selling. They usually start on a shoestring budget and buy the lowest cost software or use freeware, or worse still develop and run the business on self built data platforms to keep costs down.
If a business starts to perform, then departments form to deal with the activities within the business. These can be Accounts, Service, Projects, Sales and Marketing. Each department will have a leader who will choose or develop a standalone system to suit the needs of their department.
The problem starts when management information needs to be prepared. Most of these standalone systems will report in their own format and will need to be compiled to meet the businesses report requirements, taking time and effort. Also, sharing of data will be difficult, sales will not know what services have been delivered and so will miss further opportunities. Even simple things like changing a customer’s address will need to be done in several places – all taking time and allowing the possibility of errors.
At Pulse Business Software, we meet a lot of companies who have reached this point and now cannot easily move forward. We do however have the perfect solution to this situation.
The Pulse Business Software suite has been designed in various modules which all seamlessly integrate to form a expandable business software platform which scales to meet your business needs.
These modules are:
- eMarketing
- Sales
- Service
- Projects
- Inventory
- Financials
One issue faced by businesses in this situation, is the upheaval of changing systems. Our modular approach makes this a painless process. For example, if you are struggling with your service and support software, this is the one to do first. Pulse Business Software’s staff are experts in extracting the data you already have and importing it onto our platform.
Pulse Business Software has developed many standard export/import routines for common software products which make the data transfer simple and accurate in a software migration. We always run the systems in parallel ensuring the integrity of the data, before going live. Once this system is familiar to you, we move to the next problem area and implement and integrate the systems.
This approach has several advantages such as less disruption, graceful migration, lower cost of implementation, better staff acceptance and allows you to budget in phases.
Some of the other advantages of using a Pulse Business System is the operational benefits it will bring. As the system is hosted, access from anywhere via a web browser allows you to deploy remote working. You can also be sure that the system is always backed up and by its very nature you will have a Disaster Recovery Solution in place, giving your business protection from risk. Other cost savings include saving on multiple support contracts for servers and software, environmental and power cost savings – making real benefits for return on investments made.
The real power of Pulse Business Software comes when all the modules are fully integrated together. This allows any aspect of the business to be reported on in the formats you require, for each area of the business or the management team. For example, you could report on the profitability of each service contract, taking information for call reports and timesheets, spares used and repair costs of components.
By having a report delivered with meaningful and accurate information when you want it, and in the format you like, puts you in control. The system comes with a selection of standard report formats based on what clients have asked for, but each business is different and will require other formats. These reports can be scheduled for sending by a set time, i.e. daily, or when an event happens such as an order received over a certain value – the possibilities are endless.
So if you are facing the next big push or your current systems are not delivering what you need, it’s time to contact Pulse Business Software for a free consultation on how your business can benefit from our systems.
