Small businesses need software for a variety of reasons.
Some of those reasons include:
Manage inventory
Manage equipment maintenance
Manage
prospects/leads
Manage sales
Manage payroll
Manage accounting
Creating better customer
experience
etc.
Your small
business may be operated in a unique way that cannot be
served by off-the-shelf software. Hence, you may have
to have software specifically developed to serve your needs.
You may also needs apps developed to provide a higher
lever of service to your customers or make it easier for
your employees to access data and get work done while
they're on the road.
Software development requires a
great deal of technical knowledge. This is an ideal
task to outsource because there are many highly skilled
individuals who can provide this service at a low cost.
When you outsource this task you pay for the development
of the software depending on the amount of work that is
required and the level of difficulty required to get you
what you want.
You also pay for any maintenance of
the software that is required.
You could
maintain an ongoing relationship with the software developer
in case there are future projects that you may want to call
on them for or you may want to make changes to the software
at some future date.
