n the realm of business, having the right software can be the difference between success and failure. It not only saves precious time but also translates directly into monetary gains, as time is indeed money in this competitive arena. Selecting the perfect bespoke software can appear daunting. Every software company boasts a sales team ready to promise you the world before even fully understanding your needs.
Thomas O’Reilly, the Managing Director of Solubytes, reflects on his decade-long journey in crafting tailor-made software solutions for businesses, having founded Solubytes in 2020. “I’ve spent years witnessing the perception that bespoke software was out of reach for many businesses due to cost. I was determined to challenge that notion, and I believe Solubytes has successfully made custom software accessible, empowering retailers and businesses to operate with greater efficiency,” says Mr O’Reilly. He emphasises the importance of leveraging the latest technologies to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the software solution. Solubytes, for instance, bases its offerings on the cutting-edge Microsoft .NET framework
and harnesses cloud services to enhance reliability, security, and scalability. Solubytes adopts a streamlined approach by utlilising its pre-existing platform to host bespoke software tailored to each client’s specific needs. This approach eliminates the need to rewrite every line of code from scratch, focusing instead on customising the software to meet the client’s unique requirements, resulting in a more economical investment. Mr O’Reilly provides insights into the diverse solutions Solubytes has delivered, such as a stock management system that automates barcode generation for every part of an order. This system enables tracking of order progress through various departments, streamlining operations for clients. Moreover, Solubytes has developed ordering portals that integrate directly with clients’ stock data, enabling upfront payments and improving cash flow significantly.
The everyday advantages of using Solubytes software includes: - Access to real-time system data for informed decision-making.
- Automated stock alerts based on usage patterns.
- Real-time tracking of order progression.
- Customer-friendly order input portals with optional card payment integration.
- Seamless integration with accounting packages like Xero for automated invoice processing.
- Automated email notifications to customers regarding order status updates.
- Automatic generation of essential documents like delivery notes and certificates.
- Customised reporting tailored to each client’s specific needs.
Mr O’Reilly highlights Solubytes’ capability to develop custom reports based on client data and criteria, citing examples like a customer login platform for order tracking. Ultimately, the goal is to equip businesses with the best bespoke software solutions to maintain a competitive edge in the market.
