Do you have a comprehensive accounting software that brings all your accounting solutions in one central place, making you more efficient and in control, while giving you real-time visibility and insight across your entire organisation? Consider the following questions to identify the accounting software you need for your organisation.

Is your software more than just an accounting software?

Some solutions are more than just accounting software. They are actually enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, which connects all the complex, day-to-day processes of a business into one single, simple system. A really good ERP software solution will completely automate the back-office functions of your organisation including sales, inventory, financials and operations. It should also allow integration with other key organisation systems like HRMS/payroll so that you can get a holistic picture of your company’s performance. It will help make the organisation more productive and operations more efficient. Most importantly, you will have peace of mind knowing that the decisions you take are based on reporting that is 100% accurate.

If you are unable to have an ERP software solution, you might have to settle for a good accounting software. Things you should be able to easily accomplish with accounting software are:

• See what clients owe with accounts receivable
• Track supplier bills with account payable
• Allow your customers to pay you easily via online digital modes
• Understand business performance with reports and insights
• Create track of stocks and goods with inventory management
• Create sales invoices quickly and easily
• Enhance cash flow management and streamline business operations through e-invoicing

Is your software built to scale up?

Some software solutions do not offer room for scalability or growth. They do not grow with the business and the number of users. As if the software intended for you to stay small! You should ensure that you do not restrict your business with such a software system, but rather commit to one that understands your aspirations and grows with you.

How does your software system adapt to changes?

As global and local business landscapes are constantly changing, organisations demand a modular and flexible system that is not just reliable and efficient. But one that is also compliant to the regulations of LDHN, configurable, intuitive to use and able to handle ad-hoc and unexpected cases. Can the software adapt to changing demands and provide updates due to legislative changes?

What does customer support look like?

Does the software provider offer help and support in real time? Or does it expect you to email them your issues and wait for the reply indefinitely? Unfortunately, most software supporters require you to first email them and wait for a response, which can be a matter of days. This can become a frustrating wait and waste critical man hours. Choose a provider with a local support team that can respond and resolve your challenges quickly.
