As your business has grown, it’s getting more difficult to generate timely reports on budgets and expenses and/or to align these categories with ongoing projects.
In the past, you’ve spent way too much time searching for and gathering much needed data and relevant information. Multiple open windows led you to more windows and separate programs like Excel and Word. Sometimes you have to open Outlook too, as you need to search your emails to find the latest information about the warranty, serial number, or other parts information for a broken piece of equipment.

Distribution and supply chains rely heavily on information to keep the conveyors moving, products flowing, and customer orders filled in a timely manner.
Sometimes, though, such information isn’t available when you need it – it can only be found after the fact: a line shuts down because a part must be searched for to see if it is in inventory or a custom order must be filled immediately.

Running a business requires managing a bewildering array of variables, regulations, problems, solutions, and customer requirements. Attempting to do so without the proper tools and expertise is, at best, a waste of the time and money that you should be using to improve and expand your business; at worst, working without the proper tools and expertise will cause your challenges to quickly spiral out of control and damage your company.

There were no mobile phones with data plans just a few years ago. Now mobile phones have more computing power than the technology that sent the first rocket into space. Wi-Fi hotspots, unlimited data plans, and phone networks with increasingly large areas of coverage make data not only easy to access, but easy to use. Some of the old mobile phones allowed you to view certain online pages, like Yahoo! Sports, but there was no way to interact with the internet like we see now. Employees can receive and send emails. Salespeople can place orders. Warehouse workers can control inventory. Purchasers can track stock levels. Managers can track employees. Customers can track their packages.
