Running a business is never easy. But for small businesses in Africa, where resources are stretched and customers expect more, it’s a whole different challenge. You start up first, running things physically, you’re keeping inventory with pen and paper, you communicate with your customers locally, and you promote your services in any way possible.
Then, you decide to scale up, taking advantage of the digital age. You create a website and transition your operations online. Now, you track your inventory on your phone, more people can discover your business online, resulting in increased sales, and it seems like your business is streamlined. But the thing now is, running your business online doesn’t automatically make things easier, and so instead of one neat solution, you find yourself juggling three, four, or even five different tools just to keep the business running.
The Real Effect of Juggling Too Many Tools
So now, you have a website, an invoicing app to keep track of your invoices, a booking tool, and maybe even WhatsApp for customer chats. But then, these aren’t sustainable.
For one, you could miss bookings simply because you’re juggling too many things. There’s delayed invoice creation; hence payment comes in slowly, and WhatsApp might work for communication, but you still lose customers due to the lack of professionalism when communicating with them. And without a proper newsletter, your new products barely get the visibility they deserve.
All this is happening while you have your business online, which defeats the purpose of simplicity. You’re stressed, tired and can’t keep up with everything.
