Over 70% of all small and medium businesses (SMBs) indicate that using digital tools contributes to increased revenues. Digital technology is important to the bottom lines of enterprises, helping them to expand their customer base and accessibility, develop new products and services, create more jobs, and promote innovative practices. However, it is also vital to keep up with the constant changes in tech and leverage them to foster business growth, identifying new opportunities for increased revenues.
Productivity Software
Enhancing your company’s productivity is a critical part of your strategy to improve your bottom line. Using automated software helps in enhancing output. For example, keeping track of the hours worked by your staff, expenses, and project progress is time-consuming. Instead of putting in tedious hours monitoring your employees’ work and expenditures, resource management software can do it all, freeing up valuable time to craft strategies to nurture the business. Employees also save time when productivity software is used, letting them do activities that matter more to the company’s revenues, such as following up leads or troubleshooting client issues. Time-tracking software also manages calendars seamlessly and coordinates the schedules of everyone in the office. In addition to productivity software, automation tools assist in several areas from arranging schedules and paying bills to generating email responses and chatting with customers.
Analytical Tools
Time tracking and resource management software is great at saving time and increasing your company’s productivity. Information generated by your productivity software can also be fed to analytical programs that will interpret data for different applications. These will tell you what tasks are time-consuming and how many hours are devoted to productive tasks, enabling you to develop better schemes. Furthermore, analytical tools can help keep tabs on employees. An excellent example is strategy execution software, which allows you to track performance at every level, from individual employees to entire branches. By assigning KPIs and strategic objectives to individual people, teams, and departments, you can help build accountability across your organization.
Mobile Technology
An estimated 81% of Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) view mobile technologies as strategic for their business. Instant access to information and customers are critical elements in any business model. Mobile technology improves communication and access to data from anywhere, making it easy to continue operations no matter where you or your staff are. Furthermore, mobile communication technology will keep everyone informed of work progress, contacts made, expenses, and so on. It will also improve relations within the business, fostering a team spirit working for a common goal that can increase revenue and enhance growth.
On the other hand, devices and apps that allow you continuous connectivity with clients boost customer engagement. When you are reachable at any time to address issues and problems, client satisfaction, trust and loyalty are higher, translating to repeat visits and purchases. This also equates to effective use of resources and greater revenues. Another benefit of mobile tech is that it is also possible for staff to work from remote locations, which converts to higher efficiency and productivity.
Technology has an important role in scaling a business and in supporting its unimpeded growth. Integrating productivity software, analytical tools, and mobile technology are some ways to increase valuable output, reduce expenses, and intensify revenues.
