Spreadsheets and custom software
What should I do when my current software can't handle business growth?
First identify whether the problem is capacity, poor configuration, missing integrations, reporting limits, or a workflow the product was never designed to support. Fix or extend the current system if that solves the real constraint. Replace it only when the cost and risk of workarounds are becoming greater than moving to a better fit.
What to check
- What exactly breaks as volume grows?
- Can configuration or integration remove the constraint?
- What would migration cost compared with continuing the workaround?
