What are the tools to manage your company more easily?

To manage you company you need a method

By now, the digital supports to manage companies more easily are of easy availability and many can be found at low cost. 

You yourself will, most probably, have adopted in your business sharing tools such as Google Drive or OneDrive, DropBox etc. If you have done so already, you will have noticed that having these tools is not enough to guarantee a real sharing of the information necessary to make your business really competitive. You will have understood that the new digital tools must be at the service of a new company culture. 

Beware, then, of people who offer the latest technology presenting it as a solution for all the activities and the problems you deal with daily. Before needing one or more software, you need a method that allows you to choose the best ones and to take full advantage of them. 

In other words, having a Ferrari is unnecessary if you don’t have enough money for fuel, if you live in a country where most of the routes are car roads or worse even, if you don’t have the qualifications to drive it. Then, what are the tools to manage your company more easily? 

How does a SweetHive Digital Hive work?

The digital solution is used to verify the quality of a method, and vice versa. Let’s consider for example one of the most important issue that your company has to solve to be able to compete on ever faster and more chaotic markets: the sharing of information to make strategic choices in the shortest possible time. You would need a Digital Hive with several functions:

In addition, you would need this platform to be fully integrated with business management systems like:

However, to be able to perform the above-mentioned function, the platform should aggregate and transit homogenous data, organised by their accessibility and shareability. One of the methods is that of the organisation by Context, to which is associated a Context Sharing Context, such as the Digital Hive of Sweethive.

But what is a Context?

A context is the set of a business process and the activities ascribable to it. Unlike the traditional classification in sectors or departments, in the structure by contexts information does not follow a rigid bidimensional scheme but it takes into account the variables that modify its meaning. In the first case, therefore the accountancy office is responsible only for the budget documents; the marketing only for the listings and Human Resources only for the payroll, and so on and so forth. 

In the second, on the other hand, if an agent has developed a consolidated relation with a certain client who, because of a temporary problem, becomes insolvent, it is the General Affairs, as well as the sales team, that should be aware of it in order to avoid the automatic dispatch of the standard reminder.  

A Digital Hive puts you, the management, and your collaborators in the position to know this and other thousands of situations, which, without a context, can only be understood partially, if at all. Instead, from a full and fast understanding of everything that pertains to the company, comes those ready and precise answers that help you manage it easily.
