Why outsource?

As a progressive business who wants to stay ahead of your competitors, you must offer your customers

Quick response to their needs
Best in breed service
Fantastic customer experience

It is often very difficult to focus on your customer when you have so many things to worry about. But as a business, your time is best spent in doing the tasks required to satisfy your customers rather than the mundane tasks, such as bookkeeping.

You will have to look at how bookkeeping is currently handled, how much it costs and whether it is a distraction to your day to day activity. If the answer is YES, then the best bet is to outsource them.

Does outsourcing work for everyone?

Until a few years ago, outsourcing was only done only by large corporations. With the advancement of technology and Internet, it is now a level playing field and even small start-up businesses have as much options as a global powerhouse such as IBM or GE.

In this competitive world, you will have to constantly re-think your strategies to stay on top of your competition. You will have to find out areas of your business that can be a distraction. You can plan to offload all the tasks that can be a distraction.

“My biggest fear was about communication”

Before we planned to outsource, our biggest fear was the ability to have good communication. However, Integra staff could grasp the instructions and begin processing so quickly that we didn’t see any back log in work. Whatever errors were made were due to the short fall in our instructions.

When the work was done in house, we had a huge backlog which caused reporting problems at the month end. The accuracy was also questionable when done in house. These problems are non-existent now.

I have also seen immediate savings in wages and employee overheads. I would definitely recommend Integra to others. They are customer driven and have the highest level of integrity and professionalism.

In order to begin using Integra, we were forced to tighten up our procedure and processes, and it was just a bonus.
