Marketing
One size does not fit all when it comes to marketing software development, which is why our highly-trained experts create custom software, tailor-made for your marketing business.
Having software that is an exact match for your business’s requirements means you don’t have to compromise for software that doesn’t quite meet your needs. This can also save you money, as you won’t be required to pay for components you don’t use.
Any software you use should work well with your current working methods. Bespoke software can increase your productivity, enhance adaptability, and even reduce training times. It can help to improve efficiency across the board.
Likewise, as your marketing business grows, your software should be able to adapt to this - which is something our experts can help with at Blacklight Software.
Read on to learn all about bespoke software for the marketing sector, including customer relationship management systems and content management systems.
Bespoke CRM Software For Marketing
Customer relationship management is essential for many industries, and the marketing industry is no exception.
Whether you’re a small start-up marketing company looking to implement quality bespoke CRM software, or a large business looking to update existing software, our digital experts at Blacklight Software can accommodate your needs.
CRM is essential for businesses, large and small, to ensure customer satisfaction. It can often be more expensive to attract new customers than to maintain your existing customer base, which is just one of the many reasons it’s so important to keep your customers happy.
Likewise, in the digital age we live in, unhappy customer can easily share their dissatisfaction with the world - but this works both ways - they can also share their positive experiences with the internet too.
Whether you’re looking to effectively monitor your marketing campaigns, or keep track of your client base and customer base, a quality CRM system is the way forward.
At Digital ID, we can create and develop CRM software that can effectively do that and more - for example, aid you in identifying trends, handling customer service, and assisting with all things analytics.
Bespoke CMS For Marketing
As well as a customer relationship management system, your marketing business more than likely needs a quality content management system. At Blacklight Software, we can create a bespoke CMS for your marketing business.
A content management system is essentially a form of software that allows you to create and manage online content. Although different content management programs can have different features, the core functions remain the same - to index, manage the format, edit content, and publish content. WordPress, HubSpot and Squarespace are popular content management systems.
Our team of expert software developers can also help design a custom eCommerce platform. Some common e-commerce platforms include Shopify, Magento, and Bigcommerce.
These platforms offer a variety of packages that allow you to integrate an online store and sell your products or services online - however, if your business requires bespoke functions unique to your business operations, we can create a custom platform for you.
Bespoke Invoicing Software For Marketing
Invoicing can be a tiring task, especially without the right software. With automated invoicing software, your marketing business can process payments, pay invoices, and receive payments from clients without the hassle of physical invoices. This can save you time, energy, and money - giving you time to focus on your marketing efforts.
Whether you’re looking to streamline the invoicing process, enhance your branding on invoices, or simply speed things up, our experts at Blacklight Software can create bespoke software to meet your requirements and exceed your expectations.
