Anybody caught violating the social distancing rules could be sent to prison. This is because the city-state has committed an offense for a person to deliberately stand near to another person as part its coronavirus defence. Individuals and businesses can be subject to the rules up until April 30.
Most business owners are concerned about the loss of revenue and profits caused by the social distancing rules. Despite the fact that the coronavirus epidemic has affected the entire economy, this does not mean that business owners cannot keep their businesses running smoothly.
To overcome obstacles to business activities during the pandemic, you can use technology like web app development. Web apps allow everyone to communicate with each other in any situation, provided there is an internet connection. Let's first explain what a web application is.
What is a Web Application?
Web software or web applications are computer programs that use a website to provide an interface to users. You can access the program from any internet-connected device (desktop, tablet, or mobile) that has internet connectivity.
Web applications are customizable to meet your specific needs. This is a great way to improve business workflows, integrate multiple systems, and provide maximum value for your company. If your business has complex workflows, custom web applications can be useful. It may be that the solutions available on the market don't meet your needs.
Desktop applications, on the other hand, are stored locally on a machine. This can restrict access, security, and usability. Word, Excel and other essential desktop programs are probably familiar to you. They work well when used at an individual level. Once this becomes more complicated, such as when multiple departments or people need to access the file, it doesn't scale well. You end up with too many pages, locations, and spreadsheets that take up valuable time. You also increase the risk of human error if you forget to save or update a file.
These are internal systems. But what about products and services that customers purchase from businesses? If you don't have a website, eCommerce platforms may be a good option. Perhaps you want to see how much stock you have in your warehouse so you can look into stock management systems or order management systems. You may need Customer Relationship Management (CRM), which will allow you to manage all your sales and contacts.No matter what the task, web software is often the best option.
The Benefits of Custom Web Application Development
Web applications offer many advantages over desktop applications. Web applications are accessible from any computer via the internet. Instead of needing to be installed on every computer you want to access them, they can be accessed anywhere. Software as a Service (SaaS) is a web version of software. Apps run in a virtual cloud-based environment. For example, users can access email from their mobile devices without having to install a desktop client. SaaS apps offer tangible business benefits over traditional on premise software.
Increased Efficiency
Multiple versions of spreadsheets and shuffled papers can be time-consuming. It could also make your business more vulnerable to human mistakes that may not be easily detected until it is too late.
Furthermore, there is no way to integrate these data sources. This means that it may be necessary to perform tedious and time-consuming replications of data in order for a complete view of your business's performance.
Web applications can help streamline your business processes, allowing you to get more done in a shorter time and with greater accuracy. You can also have all of your data in one place, which gives you better visibility and allows you to run reports with current information.
Security Levels Higher
A stolen or damaged desktop-based software can lead to a costly and time-consuming situation. Your data could be at risk. You should contact your software provider to request that the software be reinstalled on a different device.
A web application, which stores data in the cloud, gives you the assurance that your computer equipment can be quickly restored to normal if it is stolen or damaged.
Web applications store information on remote services. This means that you can log in securely to any computer or mobile device with an internet connection to your URL (web address), username, and password and your business will be back up and running in no time.
In the event of a program or human error causing data loss, the data can be quickly restored using the cloud.
Simple Installation and Maintenance
You can avoid installing software on all devices and save memory. Web applications are also less burdensome on low-spec devices.
Because every computer has a browser, the installation process is very fast and can be run in the background while staff do other work. With updates and patches being rolled out remotely, maintenance requirements are typically much lower.
Accessible everywhere
Web systems, unlike traditional applications, can be accessed from any computer with an Internet connection. The user is in control of accessing the application and the time they are there.
This opens up new possibilities like global teams, home-working, and real-time collaboration. Web applications make it possible to work from anywhere, rather than sitting at a single computer.
Improved Interoperability
Interoperability between web applications is much easier than with desktop systems. It is easier to integrate a web shopping cart system with an accounting package via the web than it is to get them to talk to one another.
Web architecture allows for rapid integration of enterprise systems and improves work flow. You can adapt your business model to changing market needs by using internet technologies.
Customized Web Apps canIncrease Efficiency for Large Manufacturers
Consider the most time-consuming tasks you do every day. These are likely to be performed by multiple employees within your company. It would be wonderful if these repetitive and time-consuming tasks could be automated. It would also be wonderful if these tasks and tools could be easily accessed by anyone around the globe. Is it customized to your company's needs? A customized web application can be a great option for your business.
The way your partners and employees interact with your company can be transformed by customizing web applications. It can lead to significant cost savings and improved efficiency. Here are five key benefits that we have learned from our experience in building web applications for clients.
Competitive Advantage
It's very likely that your competition will use the same software if you're using standard software. Businesses need to be able to provide more customized digital capabilities in-house to enable employees to be more flexible and competitive. Because most of the workforce works remotely, this is even more critical. A custom web app is a great way to help employees perform better and respond faster to customer requests.
In summary, creating a web application is a great way to maintain a competitive edge.
Customized workflows: Allow your employees to work more efficiently and integrate standards and processes into the system.
Accessibility: Customized web applications can be accessed from anywhere in the world by taking advantage of GCP infrastructure such as GMP.
Security: With GC based IAM your application is protected and accessible only to GSuite users within your organization. You can also restrict access to the site based on IP or region, which further prevents external access.
Repetitive Tasks
Software that automates tasks can increase productivity and efficiency. This software is often built by custom-built developers to help you save time and improve accuracy. This is particularly useful for businesses that want to achieve maximum impact and deliver the best possible product.
Examples include:
UTM parameters are essential in digital marketing to monitor the success of digital marketing campaigns. There may be a simple routine with several spreadsheets that helps you create campaign URLs. A customized web application can make your campaign URLs more consistent and reliable and allow you to seamlessly automate your campaigns data to your Analytics or Advertising platforms.
GMP platforms can be automated with GSuite. This allows centrally managed permissions to be set up based on a GSuite login to common Google platforms like GA, DCM, and others. Manually editing user/properties used to take hours and consume valuable resources. Automated applications make the task simple, consistent, and easy to review by a dedicated admin.
Specific Features & Functionalities
Many of our clients use software that offers standard features or additional functionality. These tools often lack the ability or the scalability to support your business's growth and changes. These are some of the most common problems we have seen:
You may be able to upgrade some applications, but you might have to pay more for a complete suite of features if you only require one or two of them.
There are some applications that limit the number of tasks or events that can be run within an application's scope in a given time. This is because an application has a quota limit. If it exceeds this limit, all jobs in that scope of the application can be cancelled.
A custom web app is a great way to get the features and functionality you need for your business. You can easily modify or add features to your customized web app to meet your business needs. Automated applications that are deployed to the cloud address tedious quota limitations. CISIN has used cloud infrastructure to reduce the tedious quota limitations that users face. We leverage multiple service accounts to ensure that all events in the application run simultaneously, which saves valuable time.
A Better User Experience
With a focus on custom use cases, custom web applications provide simplicity and functionality. Clients may use several platforms and tools to accomplish specific tasks. It could be that they provide specific platform access to groups, monitor web and CRM data to make informed decisions or deploy online marketing campaigns and content to generate leads.
By consolidating similar tasks into one UI, a custom web app can guarantee that the app is tailored to your needs. This will make it easier to integrate multiple platforms and increase collaboration among users. This is achieved by combining the consolidated functionality in a platform that has your brand's look and feel. All of this is hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), for global success with the security infrastructure inherited form GCP.
Support and Better Maintenance
A custom web application allows you to choose the level of technical assistance you require based on your needs and your budget. Standard software is often limited in support and can be costly to fix. It also takes a lot of time to fix. CISIN will work with you to establish expected service levels for each type of support and the associated costs. You can be sure that your platform runs smoothly and that changes are made according to your schedule - all in order to ensure that your work processes are uninterrupted.
The Key Takeaway
Custom web applications can give you a competitive edge and improve employee productivity. They also allow for better governance and cost management. These are just a few of the many benefits I shared with you.
Web application development allows you to create collaborative environments where your staff can easily share data. Web applications allow you to monitor activity better and keep your staff up-to-date with the latest regulations and documents.
