Small Business and SME Software

Small businesses are the engine room of a national economy.  The place where real work get done by the most inspired and hard-working people and teams.  So many small businesses are "punching above their weight" in terms of performance, competitiveness, quality, customer service and inventiveness.  However this can come at a cost.  Business owners often work hard and long, and much time is devoted to reporting and analysis and trying to determine who is working on what, and where can the business be improved, or refined.

Due to the financial pressure on small business, owners and workers often rely on manual systems, free-software, or "make-do" solutions for a range of business functions.  Spreadsheets, documents, post-it notes, home-grown solutions and the like are often seen in the small business environment.  While such tools, systems and process have their place, there are common aspects of any business that can really benefit from purpose-built software, which is where HelpMaster fits in.
