Many businesses start with off-the-shelf software and Excel files because they are quick and cheap to begin with. But as the business grows, processes get more complex until the old tools are "almost right" yet never quite fit.
01 Your team wastes time on repetitive manual work
If staff re-key the same data across systems or copy numbers between files, that is time and cost lost to work a system should automate.
02 Data is scattered across many files
