A manufacturing client of ours used to take two days to send a customer a price.
Not because anyone was slow.
The enquiry came in, someone looked up the rates, someone else checked whether that customer had a special price agreed last year, a senior person approved it, and somewhere in the middle of all that a factory visit happened.
Two days was normal. Everyone in their industry took about that long.
Today the same quotation takes minutes.
We have worked with Utech Waterproofing for over seven years now. That change is the one everybody remembers, and I want to explain why it mattered, because it is not the reason most people assume.
When a customer asks four suppliers for a price, they are usually deciding while they wait. The first sensible quote to arrive sets the shape of the conversation.
Everyone else is comparing themselves to it.
So a supplier who replies in minutes is not simply faster. He is in the discussion while it is still open, and the others are arriving to a decision already half made.
💡 That is what the speed bought.
Not saved admin hours. More work won.
The same system later grew to run their operations across multiple locations in the United States. Same platform.
Not a fresh project with a new company and a new round of explaining the business from scratch.
Which brings me to the thing I actually want to say, and it is a warning about buying software rather than a pitch.
💡 Most businesses use less than 30% of the software they pay for.
Read that again if you have ever signed a big software cheque.
It is not that the software was bad. It is that after the system went live, everyone went back to being busy, the company who built it moved on to their next customer, and within two months half the staff had quietly gone back to their old way of doing things.
Nobody reports this to the owner. It just happens, and a year later you are paying for something nobody opens.
So before you sign anything with any software company, including us, here are four questions worth asking. They take five minutes and they will tell you more than the proposal will.
1️⃣ One. What happens in the eight weeks after the system goes live?
If the answer is a support email address, you are buying software. You are not buying a change in how your business runs. Those are two different purchases.
2️⃣ Two. How long does your average client stay with you, and can I speak to one from more than five years ago?
Anybody can show you recent logos. Long relationships are the one thing that cannot be arranged for a meeting.
3️⃣ Three. Who from your team will still be reachable in month six, and what is that person's name?
Ask for a name, not a department.
4️⃣ Four. What will you do if my staff stop using it?
A good answer sounds like a plan. A bad answer sounds offended.
