The choice of a management software is a big decision for your company. It should help to optimize processes, make management more transparent, facilitate communication between sectors, distribute information in real time, increase your team's productivity, reduce costs, in short, be a great ally for company management.
As there is a strong marketing appeal, many companies end up opting for imported software, which has a great marketing strategy behind it and is sold all over the world as if it were a real canteen of water in the desert. But have you ever stopped to think that they are developed for an entrepreneurial mindset that is completely different from ours? And that they might not be the best for your company?
Considering national management software can be much more advantageous for your business, for several reasons. Take a look:
Language
A lot of imported software doesn't have its platforms translated or, when it does, the translation of the functionalities isn't always accurate, which can confuse your team when it comes to operating the system. A national solution doesn't have this problem, after all, it was developed here, with people who speak the same language defining how to call each tool.
Usability
If even the computer keyboard differs from one country to the next, surely the chain of ideas for organizing the functionalities of a piece of software will also be different, interfering with its usability. The more difficult it is for your team to operate, the more resistance there will be to implementation, as well as to maintaining activities over time.
Exchange rate variation
If the management software you hire is imported, the monthly fees will probably be in another currency, such as the dollar. As you know, these are difficult times in which it is impossible to predict currency fluctuations. This can have a considerable impact on your budget, creating financial problems for your company, because one month you pay one amount and the next you pay twice as much. On the other hand, with national management software, you know exactly how much you pay each month, when the contract will increase and by how much.
Support
Technology is like that, it brings many benefits, but when it starts giving you problems, it's best to call in an expert. What if the expert is miles away, on another continent, speaks another language and works at a different time to you? What then? Wait for support while your company loses productivity and profit? None of this happens with national software, since support is provided in the same language, the technician is close to your company and the speed of service can be much greater.
Best value for money
As well as paying a more competitive price for a national solution, you have advantages that are not seen in imported systems, such as usability, compatibility with our economic and social model and your employees' understanding of the tool, which increases their commitment to making the software a true ally in the entire company management process. In addition, the proximity to the supplier gives you greater security so that you can clear up any doubts about the software before you even purchase it, by means of a trial version.
When choosing your management software, take these questions into consideration. They will help you select the tool that is best suited to your company without weighing on your wallet and while guaranteeing total usability for your employees.
Now it's your turn to comment: which do you prefer, domestic or imported management software? Why do you prefer it?
