1 WORTHWHILE GUIDES SOFTWARE INTEGRATION

2 DOES YOUR BUSINESS OR STARTUP NEED A CUSTOM SOFTWARE INTEGRATION? If one of the following statements is true about your business, a software integration may help. Read on to see how software integrations have helped businesses in these situations. WORTHWHILE BUILDS CUSTOM WEB AND MOBILE APPLICATIONS AND DELIVERS THEM WITH NO REGRETS. LEARN MORE

3 1 MY SYSTEMS AREN T COMMUNICATING WITH EACH OTHER. If you have multiple software systems, your data might be in information silos. As a result, you may experience problems like having to enter data multiple times in multiple places. Custom software integrations can save your employees and your customers time by improving usability and efficiency. A NO REGRETS SOLUTION See how we helped CUI solve their problem with a software integration. SEE THE CASE STUDY

4 2 MY ERP IS 20 OR MORE YEARS OLD. Many distributors and manufactures rely on older ERPs. For these businesses, the cost of changing ERPs is too steep in terms of time and money. Custom software integrations can add features like e-commerce and reporting capabilities to these older ERPs, making them more user-friendly and versatile.

5 3 MY E-COMMERCE SYSTEM DOESN T SHOW LIVE INVENTORY STATUS. If your e-commerce and ERP systems are separate, it can be hard to accurately show customers inventory status on demand. A custom integration allows to provide up-to-date information and serve your customers better online.

6 4 I M TIRED OF PAYING FOR SO MANY SOFTWARE SEAT LICENSES. If you re paying for multiple seat licenses for users who only need access to parts of an ERP or other software system, custom software integration may help. By creating a web interface for data entry or reporting, you can limit your seat license expenses while improving system usability.

7 5 I NEED TO MOVE DATA FROM ONE SYSTEM TO ANOTHER. ETL (extract-transfer-load) integrations can require very different kinds of solutions. If solutions have available API, integrations come naturally. If not, your business may require a custom flat-file integration to keep data updated in all key systems. No matter the situation, though, a quality software partner like Worthwhile can help you create a solution.

8 6 I NEED TO USE DATA FROM AN OFF-THE-SHELF SOFTWARE PRODUCT IN A NEW WAY. Off-the-shelf software (sometimes called SaaS, or Software as a Service) is usually very good at what it s designed to do, but it s not always flexible when you need a new kind of solution. If you need to analyze the data in a new way, or produce a new kind of report, an integration with another software product or a custom web app can give you the functionality your business needs.

9 7 I NEED TO CONNECT SOFTWARE TO HARDWARE. As the internet of things expands, some companies have hardware products that they need to get data from and/ or send data to. Others need to network with hardware to complete transactions that serve users and accomplish business goals. Strategic software/hardware integrations can make your business run smoother or unlock new capabilities that save time and expand profit opportunities.

10 8 I DON T HAVE AN API, OR MY API ISN T WORKING. An API (application program interface) is a powerful tool for connecting software together. It can hamstring your business if you don t have an API, or if the one you have isn t working right. Worthwhile builds a read/write API standard with every Django project we build. (We focus on the Python language and the Django framework.) We can create an API solution by connecting to existing API or creating a new one that opens new business possibilities. API

11 9 MY BUSINESS IS TOO RELIANT ON ONE VENDOR S SOFTWARE. Vendors can serve your business well, but they can also create risk for your business. What if a specific vendor raises its rates, making it more expensive to run your business-critical software? What if a vendor goes out of business or stops supporting your software, leaving you without a way to fix bugs or make updates? Custom software integrations can provide flexibility that keep your business running no matter what happens to a thirdparty vendor giving you valuable vendor independence.

12 10 MY EMPLOYEES WANT TO ACCESS ALL THEIR SYSTEMS FROM ONE PLACE. Many businesses run multiple software systems to perform critical tasks, provide reporting, and create functionality. But switching between systems costs employees time and can make training and on-boarding new team members daunting. Custom software development can integrate the systems into one common facade, making employees s lives easier and their work more efficient.

13 11 I NEED MY SYSTEM TO BE AVAILABLE ON THE GO. Even if your ERP or supply chain software is working perfectly in your office, you need to ensure it works for employees in the field. By using integration tools, you can create custom mobile apps to give employees access to key documents, programs, and data no matter where they are.
