Digital Success - Unique businesses need unique solutions


Businesses are going digital - do you have the software tools you need to stay competitive?


In the age of technology, more teams are seeing the value in a digital approach to work. Whether it’s 24/7 access to your information, business intelligence that drives decision making, or workflow and process automation to reduce admin efforts. Along our journey of bringing bespoke digital solutions to companies and teams, we have seen what works, what doesn’t, and what will only work in the short term.

If your business is niche, or doesn't operate like your competitors...

Carefully consider why. Differentiation is a major indicator for success, and helps you compete in a busy market- don’t give that up!  Leaders need to carefully consider how much their business will have to change for an out of-the-box solution, as well as ask some important questions:

  • What about support? Is support affordable?
  • What if I want to change things or add new features?
  • Are there any additional costs?
  • How will my solution adapt with me and my company as it grows?

In a market saturated with general solutions, many unique businesses are bending their operations to fit the template provided by digital products. While this can work in the early stages, businesses often hit a wall beyond basic operations solutions. Totally Tech have put together a great article about Bespoke VS Off-the-Shelf:

Gaining advantage over competitors becomes more difficult when an organisation’s core product or service is delivered by off-the-shelf solutions common in the marketplace.

How do I know if my business would benefit from a bespoke solution?  

The benefits of bespoke solutions are unquestionable- you gain a made to measure system that is designed to meet your needs, compliment your operations, and support your success. Take what you like and automate it; change what you don't like to fit your direction; and continue to update and advance your system so that you remain competitive and up-to-date. It sounds good because it really is that good.

Almost all industry leaders operate using their own bespoke digital systems because of the advantages it gives them. Previously, this has kept smaller growing businesses at a disadvantage, since the price for traditional bespoke software is exceptionally high.


Cost is no longer a barrier...

At Engin we recognised the need for digital transformation, and created a solutions platform that is affordable for all businesses that want to maintain their competitive advantage. By working smarter not harder, we have managed to drive down costs to offer more businesses a powerful competitive advantage.

For teams that recognize the need or opportunity for bespoke solutions, the cost barrier gets lower every day.

If you could save resources by making a change, then every moment you don't you are wasting resources.
