Business expansions offer enterprises significant competitive advantages as well as challenges. Modern consumers’ mindsets shift so frequently that business software must be flexible enough to meet their requirements. If you are wondering about the benefit of custom software, this article will help you understand why you need custom software for your business as soon as possible.

Blog - 6 Reasons Why You Should Get Custom Software For Your Business Right Away - 1

There are more and more companies using custom software in most of their processes

So, what is custom software development?

Custom software development is a process of designing software to create, deploy, and maintain it for a specific business or a set of users, who aim to execute a specified purpose or unique technology solution. For example, a bank gets their own customized application for internet banking services.

This custom application will enable the bank to ensure the security, protect their transactions and provide better customer experiences. Meanwhile, it is impossible to accomplish with SaaS services. In other words, custom software can be considered as a representative of your business.

Top 6 reasons why you should invest in custom software for your business

Let’s dive into the following 6 reasons for getting custom software before making your final decision:

1. Custom software will meet the needs and requirements specific to your business.

When collaborating with a custom software development team, they will listen to your problem, understand your requirements, and design specifications according to your special demands. A custom program will allow you to integrate features that your competitors do not have, making your services more efficient and appealing to your target customers.

It will also make it easier to integrate your new software with your existing system. Even if you use various software to manage different departments within your organization, bespoke software can help you merge all of their procedures and APIs into one single platform, serving as a ‘home base’ for your entire company management.

As a result, your company’s productivity and efficiency will increase dramatically, and your users will have access to more features.

2. Custom solutions are more cost-effective

You can see it more clearly in the long term. For obvious reasons, off-the-shelf solutions appear to be less expensive than custom software. However, if you think about it a little further, you will see that the benefits of the extra investment make it worthwhile.

Firstly, when using a template, there will be some unnecessary functionalities for your business. But you still must pay for it. When creating custom software, you will only pay for the things you need or want. That’s it.

Secondly, the monthly or yearly licensing fee of a template may appear to be less expensive at first glance. However, if you intend to use it for several years, the total cost may be higher than what you need to pay all at once for custom software development. Furthermore, if you want to add new features in the future, you’ll have to pay even higher licensing fees each month.

Of course, the template’s owner has the right to raise licensing fees at any time. Building custom software for your company is a long-term investment, whereas using a ready-made template is only a short-term alternative.

One more thing. You may be able to sell your custom-built software to other organizations, even though custom software is not intended for sales in the first place. It means even more profit.

3. Custom software will allow you to create whatever solution you want

Digital tools are necessary in assisting businesses to obtain their vision. Custom software allows you to customize whatever solution or functions in accordance with your business goal. It means that custom software will help you deliver your brand identity more easily and make your business look & feel different from others in your industry

In contrast, it would be more difficult to fully show your brand identity with the template solutions. You may have to accept several compromises to make it work along with your vision. What you get at the end may be quite different from what you expected at the beginning. If you have a custom software program, you can customize each feature. You can create a website that represents your genuine vision for the company. In the digital world, it’ll be your brand’s public face! Bespoke software will stand out from the rest.

4. Custom software is more flexible and efficient

Custom software allows you to customize any feature. As a result, your website will always be up to date on both your preferences and the changing nature of your market. Moreover, they’re specifically designed to speed up and streamline your processes.

As a company grows, so do its software requirements. This necessitates the addition of new functionality. While an off-the-shelf solution may not offer that level of customization, a good development team will. As part of the requirement gathering process, they will evaluate your future needs and understand your changing needs to make the necessary adjustments. If you want to focus on your long-term goals and viability of your business, custom software is unquestionably the better option because it is an investment that will last almost a lifetime.

5. Custom software is safer

For a variety of reasons, custom software is significantly less likely to be hacked. The result is a stronger protection of your data and that of your clients’ data. Customers who use your website are required to provide data about themselves to you. And you certainly don’t want that information to be taken and exploited by someone else out of loyalty.

Off-the-shelf solutions are more likely to be hacked since hacking one solution will give hackers access to the data of many firms. Hacking a custom solution, on the other hand, is a difficult task. Because hackers don’t have any prior knowledge of how software is constructed from beginning. And it’s improbable that they’ll spend so much time and effort on a single company’s data.

6. Custom software development offers better maintenance and support

When you start from scratch, you’ll have a dedicated team working on your software project. You can rely on them to assist you with any technical issues or questions you may have during the entire design and development process. Furthermore, they may be able to help you with managing your website from the admin panel in some cases.

Premade solutions do not offer the same level of speedy and specialized support as custom solutions. And the support team has the right to terminate the service at any moment. Whereas with custom software development, you’ll have access to support for the long – term, which is much more convenient.

How to develop your custom software effectively?

Every company is unique. Even if custom software development is generally the better option, you should evaluate your costs and project your benefits before deciding whether to build custom software or perhaps just buy a ready-made one. There are numerous benefits and drawbacks to consider. But once you’ve decided to take the plunge, here are a few things to take into consideration:

  • Collaboration is crucial. To maintain high standards, you must ensure that sponsors, users, developers, and even consumers work together and contribute their feedback on the requirements, share information, and collaborate smoothly across teams.
  • Regarding custom software development, requirements play a crucial role. It’s important to clarify exactly what your program needs and doesn’t need. Your software will be created faster and better if your requirements are clear and consistent. Never be afraid of revising it several times before releasing it.
  • The next step is to invest in a mature and sophisticated development methodology. Agile, DevOps, Rapid Application Development, and Scaled Agile Framework are a few examples to consider. Consider the benefits and pitfalls of each method, and then choose the one that best fits your project.

It is understandable that it is better to have a solution made only for your business. We hope that this article is helpful in providing you a clear vision of benefits when having custom software. If you run into any difficulty during custom software development, please feel free to contact Groove Technology to help you: contact@groovetechnology.com
