Sage Pastel Accounting General Manager, Daryl Blundell has noted that mobility is transforming smaller businesses. Blundell said an accounting solution with a good mobile app is a real boon for SMEs.
“Employees with mobile devices can be productive many more hours a week because they can work from anywhere in the world and can maximise what might otherwise have been wasted time waiting in airports and reception rooms,” he said.
According to him, sales people can take their tablets into meetings and give PowerPoint presentations, while MDs can quickly see the status of business KPIs on a real-time dashboard. And enterprise mobility can allow employees access to information on the fly, such as financial reports, stock orders, customer data and inventory lists.
“Customers can accept terms by physically signing the mobile device, so deals can be negotiated and closed in one meeting. Employees can keep up to date with work without returning to the office and stay up to date on relevant projects so deadlines aren’t missed. What’s more, it helps everyone achieve a healthy work-life balance,” he said.
