Managing an SME requires mastering many aspects: from human resources to accounting, including relations with suppliers and even commercial strategy.
To automate certain tasks and gain an overview of the management of the company, it is possible to use management software, either a complete CRM or ERP software solution, or a more specific tool focused for example on accounting operations.
However, the software offered on the market is not always suitable for all types of companies, and in particular for SMEs, which face different challenges than those of large companies.
