It starts off small. You choose a well-known platform like Salesforce, HubSpot, or Monday because it seems affordable and promises to simplify your processes. But here’s the catch, every single user needs to pay a licence fee.
At first, it doesn’t seem too bad. A handful of licences is manageable. But as your team grows, those fees grow with it. Before long, what started as a “cost-effective solution” has snowballed into thousands of pounds every year, just to let your team log in!
And the cost isn’t the only problem. There’s functionality, or rather, the lack of it. Off-the-shelf software is designed to appeal to the “average business.” In reality no business is average, you are unique. That means you’re stuck with features you don’t use, paying extra for the ones you do need, and bending your processes to fit its limitations. It’s frustrating, inefficient, and far from what your business actually requires.
This is where bespoke software makes all the difference. Instead of renting access to a one-size-fits-all system, you invest in a solution that’s built around your workflows, your people, and your business goals. The software is yours! It’s completely licence-free, meaning every team member can use it without adding a single penny to your budget.
Off-the-shelf software tries to fit your business into a box. Bespoke software builds a box around your business. Simple as that.
