Do you struggle to choose software and then spend too much time making it work?
When starting my business, I struggled to understand what tools I needed to run efficiently and compliantly. I was surprised it was difficult to get a clear answer to simple questions like what receipts should I keep. It was even more challenging as I started to network with others. I asked other business owners what tools they were using and created a spreadsheet of all of those tools to learn which ones were common and which ones were giving business owners the best value. Believe me, it is a LONG list, with very little overlap. The resulting set of tools for a business are disjointed and no business owner really has the time to learn how to use everything. In addition, the costs add up each month as I signed up for more things. I continued my research into the tools and kept coming back to one package that offers everything I needed. The challenge - it is so flexible, it takes time and knowledge to set it up. Challenge accepted. I learned to do it for myself and for my own business. When I showed other business owners during networking meetings, soon I was doing it for others. I have developed this offering to help other owners skip the many hours I have spent learning this skill and share it with others. I have 3 subscriptions for my business TOTAL. I have a video editing tool, ChatGPT, and Zoho One for EVERYTHING else including my website and bookkeeping.
Why Multiple Tools are a Risk
Running a small business is challenging enough without the added complications of managing multiple software tools. Using disparate systems for different business functions—such as accounting, email, calendar, website hosting, social media scheduling, and more—can expose your business to significant security risks. Each tool requires its own login credentials and security protocols, creating multiple points of vulnerability. The more tools you use, the higher the risk of a security breach.
The Inconvenience of Multiple Tools
Managing multiple software tools is not just a security risk; it's also inconvenient and inefficient. Switching between different platforms can lead to fragmented workflows, data silos, and a lack of integration that hampers productivity. Small businesses need a streamlined solution that can bring all essential functions under one roof, simplifying operations and enhancing efficiency.
Success Story
Consider the story of Dawn, owner of Unique Connector and one of our clients. She has a growing small business that was struggling with the high costs and inefficiencies of managing multiple software tools. She had Calendly, a small business CRM, Zoom, Squarespace, and Quickbooks. This was a total of over $100/month. She was considering other tools to add electronic signature, project management, and email marketing, that was going to add more costs. It was beginning to add up, and she was spending too much time juggling these tools instead of focusing on core business activities.
