Why Industry Leaders Choose Kompass BMS: The Benefits of Using Industry Specific, Off-the-Shelf Software

SHARE

Are you in the surveying and geospatial industries? Have you considered developing software in-house to help you manage your business? While this may seem like a tempting option to overcome the issue of many different disjointed software apps, buying fully integrated off-the-shelf software like Kompass can provide a range of benefits for your business.   

First, let’s talk about Kompass. It was originally developed in-house and is still used at Murphy Geospatial supporting its growth into one of the largest surveying companies in Europe, so we’ve done all the leg work for you. We developed and used it in production over the last 8 years ensuring it provides exactly the features surveying companies required while being intuitive to use. We understand the challenges that come with developing business management software in-house – we’ve done it – and that’s why we’ve created a solution that can save you time, resources, and money. 

Why should you consider buying off-the-shelf software like Kompass ?  

      1. It can save you time and resources. Prebuilt software can be implemented faster and requires less internal resources for development and maintenance. This can lead to increased productivity and efficiency, allowing your business to focus on what you do best. Software developers are famous for struggling to give reliable estimates about the amount of work that is required leading to huge overruns, delays and functionality that isn’t quite right. 

        1. Buying off-the-shelf can be more cost-effective than developing software in-house. The costs and time of development, testing, and maintenance can be high for in-house software development. With off-the-shelf software, you can benefit from lower total cost of ownership (TCO), making it a cost-effective solution for your business. What starts out as a straightforward implementation often gets to a high level of complexity quickly. Check out how much you can save with our very own return on investment (ROI) calculator.
