FAQ
Business Software: common questions
- How much should a small business spend on software?
- Most small teams end up between a few tens and a few hundred currency units per month once CRM, accounting and communication are covered. The bigger risk is duplicate tools doing the same job in different corners of the company.
- Should I pick an all-in-one suite or separate tools?
- Suites reduce integration work and billing noise; separate tools usually win on depth. If one function is central to how you make money, choose the specialist for that and let the suite cover the rest.
- How long does migrating business software take?
- Budget more time than the vendor suggests. Exporting data is quick; cleaning it, rebuilding automations and retraining the people who use it daily is what actually takes the weeks.
