Among our clients in the business services sector, a common trend emerges: the initial success of proprietary workflows that set them apart in the market. However, as they grow, they are in need of a scaling solution and scaling this unique approach becomes the ultimate challenge.
Our clients start off with a proprietary workflow to serve their clients and dominate their marketplace. As they grow, this “special sauce” is the most difficult, yet most important item to scale.
SaaS tools don’t build for a customer of 1, so our clients are forced to modify their proprietary workflow or hobble together several tools to get work done. When technology forces our clients to change their most valuable workflows, that’s when we see the shift to wanting to build custom.
We recently completed a survey of private equity and venture capital investors, and we confirmed that for business services, a proprietary workflow supported by 3rd party tools equals a 5x multiple on EBITDA. A proprietary workflow supported by custom technology equals an 8x multiple on EBITDA. For product companies, those multiples are doubled.
Numerous clients seek our assistance after grappling with their proprietary workflow using spreadsheets, paper-based methods, a blend of disjointed technology tools, or a combination of these approaches.
This strategy proves inefficient and exceptionally risky due to its lack of security, making it susceptible to theft. Furthermore, it often results in potential data gaps or errors, compelling processes to conform to the limitations of the toolset rather than vice versa.
Leveraging the latest advancements in artificial intelligence, our clients are discovering ways to enhance data analytics, extracting valuable insights previously beyond reach. Developing a custom app empowers them to not only refine data collection and storage but also expand the scope of data gathered.
Once armed with a refined dataset, we collaborate to identify the insights crucial for efficient growth. This progression from information to insights to intelligence demands expertise in design, development, and data analytics.
It is important to craft an app that aligns with user preferences, ensuring usage translates to accurate, consistent, and streamlined data collection.
Strategize the efficient and meaningful collection, storage, and analysis of data through meticulous architecture and database design.
Integrate all data sources with a focus on necessary business decisions to guarantee that reporting actively supports decision-making rather than adding surplus information.
With the recent innovations in artificial intelligence, our clients are starting to find ways to improve their data analytics - gaining wisdom from their data that was previously inaccessible.
Building a custom app allows our clients to not only clean up their data (both from a collection and a storage standpoint), but also collect more volume and more varied data sets than before. Once our clients have a clean set of data to work with, we are able to help our clients think through what types of insights they want/need to gather in order to grow most efficiently. From that conversation, we help our clients build custom reports and apply artificial intelligence tools where appropriate.
This transition from information to insights to intelligence requires a blend of experts in design, development and data analytics. You first have to design an app that users want to use - usage of your application means accurate, consistent and streamlined data collection. Second, thinking through how you will collect, store and analyze your data so it’s efficient and meaningful requires thoughtful architecture and database design. Finally, combining all data sources with an eye toward what kind of business decisions need to be made helps to ensure reporting actually supports decisions rather than just piling on more information.
Understanding the difference between information and intelligence is the key element to successful design, as well as realizing that technology exists to serve the business (not the other way around).
