It goes without saying that organizations are dealing with unprecedented changes right now. Even as some states begin to open a large number of businesses, most aren’t doing so with a full return to “business as usual.” Precautions that have been lifted may be reinstated and new rules may be applied, so there’s simply no telling what the future may hold. In an environment like this one, businesses need tools that allow them to pivot at a moment’s notice, whether that pivot requires working remotely or changing how you interact with customers. AccountingSuite is proud to launch a Customization Selection Tool during this rapidly changing time, allowing accounting professionals and the businesses they serve to get all the functionality they need with none of the added clutter.
“AccountingSuite uses extensions to improve the functionality of the software,” explains Ted McRae, Director of Business Development at AccountingSuite. “So instead of supplying the user with all types of features that they don’t need like many of our competitors do, which can make your software clunky, we focused on a model that empowers the user to install extensions on an as-needed basis.” This update has been in development for a long time, but there’s no denying that it’s a boon at a time when nearly every aspect of business is on an as-needed basis.

Strategy subject to change
As much as we all want there to be a direct and unvarying course toward a return to normal, that’s unlikely to come to fruition anytime soon. Instead, businesses need to rely on agility in order to best succeed in a climate where nothing is certain or can be taken for granted. We still don’t know which social distancing measures are going to be in place and for how long, or what the winter has in store; all we can do is adapt quickly and efficiently to whatever the circumstances are at the present moment. That is a hard reality to come to terms with but is essential when devising a way forward.
A perfect example of this agility in industry, is retailers pushing their strategy online, even for those who don’t normally rely on ecommerce, selling on Amazon or Etsy etc. to retain a significant portion of revenue. We’ve been living in a multi-channel market for many years now, but leveraging those channels has never been more important. The retailers who can successfully transition operations online while still managing their books efficiently are those who stand to weather the storm. In a situation like this, when time is of the essence, having the right solutions at your disposal could be a sink-or-swim proposition.
The tools you need, when you need them
AccountingSuite understands that businesses have changing needs even under the best of conditions. Those needs are changing at an exponentially faster rate today than they were a year ago. You may think the most prudent strategy is to throw everything at the wall and see what sticks, but that approach can lead to unneeded bureaucracy and employee frustration. Rather than trying to solve discrete problems with individual solutions, it’s better to rely on tools that can meet an evolving set of needs.
Our Customization Selection Tool is designed with exactly such requirements in mind. Rather than putting every single tool on a user’s dashboard, AccountingSuite allows you to access the tools you need without having to wade through unnecessary clutter. If a specific functionality becomes relevant at a later date, you can simply add it when needed.
Coupled with AccountingSuite’s project management, reporting, and inventory management features, and you’ve got an accounting software well suited to a moment in history when businesses need as much actionable data and agility as possible. Streamlining operations have never been more critical. It’s no easy task, but we’re all in this together and while we understand that everyone’s strategy for the future will be a little different, it’s our goal to provide a customizable solution that supports those agile pivots.
