      How To Grow Your Business When It’s Already Going Good

      Why Small Teams Get (Much) More Done


      Organisational wealth is a concept that is based on the premise that businesses can only achieve true wealth once all parts of the organisation are running optimally. It places an emphasis on business systems, internal processes, staff morale, job satisfaction and, of course, financial success.

      Having proper control and management of your finances is essential for every growing business. Keeping up with, and staying ahead of, competitors requires more than just a simple accounting system to try control financials. Luckily, modern technology and innovative business management platforms offer practical solutions to give you and your team members up to date information about every part of your business.

      This helps businesses better manage cash flow, stock holding, expenses and financial investments for increased control over profit margins as well as continued growth and long-term sustainability.

      Here are a few ways in which a good business management system can help you achieve greater profit margins and contribute to building greater organisational wealth.   

      Comparing budgets vs actual costs

      An integrated system allows different departments to quickly and easily share information on expenses budgeted for and actual payments made. This results in streamlined and seamless project planning and management through automatic distribution of information and project amendments based on accurate information.

      Managers can get customised financial reports depending on their requirements and set cash flow alerts as well as expense approvals to ensure that budgets are not exceeded.

      Better buying

      With the correct systems in place, your small or medium sized business can manage its entire procurement process systematically. Details of suppliers, requests and responses with cost estimates, purchase orders, returns and outstanding orders can all be recorded, centrally maintained and shared between departments. This will allow you to quickly compare suppliers, negotiate better deals and plan your purchases to maintain and improve profit margins. 

      Matching supply and demand

      Optimising procurement to expertly match supply and demand can lead to an increase in your business’s profit margins. For many small to medium sized businesses, managing supply and demand cycles can be a time-consuming and complicated task. The good news is that an integrated business system, such as SAP Business One, allows you to get real-time inventory insights and updates.

      It also allows you to manage and set up standard and special pricing to cater to seasonal trends, which are also readily available. Over and above that, an integrated system allows business owners to apply volume, cash, and customer discounts and run reports to track the impact these special offers had on overall profit margins. 

      Accurate insights to make strategic business decisions

      The adage “knowledge is power” is certainly true for businesses – no matter their size. Even in a small business, there is a massive amount of information which can be gathered about your operations within the supply chain and company financials. Having access to accurate information can empower your team members to make more informed decisions.

      Providing employees with comprehensive information facilitates strategic decision-making, which can lead to optimised stock holding and procurement, meaningful customer relationship management and more successful marketing campaigns. These benefits can contribute to a sustainable growth in profit margins.

      An investment in technology may initially seem costly, but when you invest in the right tools and platforms, you will soon start the process of building your organisational wealth through increased profit margins and excellent financial control.
