The technology you choose today





Not only can technology help you with logistics, it also helps you with keeping your financial records promptly, it can also help you with proximity, as well as minimizie the risk of fraud in your business. It can also help with all other business activities. 

How do we get the best set of technological facilities but I am sure it may be capital intensive but I am sure there will be some way around it. So let us find out, the best cost efficient technology is the internet which is mostly free, sites like facebook, google, linkedin and yahoo have made businesses easier and they are free except of-course you go for their premium services. You want to work with comfortable computers as well  as with software that will make your tasks easier. I can of course say google maps as made my journeys easier and I am sure you feel the same way, that is the type of technology you want to be working with , if you understand want I mean.

The best set of PCs are provided by Apple, Asus, Dell, Hp and Lenovo. It is best to buy them at once, but some outlets do allow you to pay for them in installments especially if you are buying them in bulk, however, I will only support this if the price you will pay if you are paying for it at once will be equal to the total sum of the payments made via installments. This is because you do not want to pay any form of interest on it, if they are not equal my dear you are paying a fee on a loan (that is what it is) and it is a sin.

Accounting software like Freshbooks (small businesses only), Quickbooks and Sage  are good and are not expensive while the Wave accounting is free and good but can only be used in a very small business (10 or below staff members). For human resource responsibilities, software like Zenefits (free),  the SumHr is another one are good and not expensive. For scheduling, software like ABC roaster which is free, Clockit (free if there will be only three users) should both be given a try. Booking software such as Bookers and Sagenda (free) can be given a try. 

There are obviously more sophisticated software that you can use but as your business gets bigger you can dabble into them I am assuming they will be more expensive. The better the software the more efficient and effective your business processes will be. Its good to note the most expensive does not necessarily mean the best in town. I will definitely be against any ridiculously priced product. You have to cut your clothes according to your size. That is all for today. Thank you for reading this article. Keep checking my blog regularly. Cheers!

The saverholic

Image courtesy of dan at FreeDigitalPhotos.net It involves minimal risk saving your money. I always say first save your money in an halal account, once it has reached a particular threshold start investing. The saverholic only saves and saves and saves and cannot afford to take well calculated risks. Because, all you do is to save money. Invest in other markets, the higher the risk the higher the return, diversify your investment portfolio.  All individuals that have achieved financial growth of great heights are risk takers, and they know that some risk might turn out negative but they know is all part of the process. They learn from it and apply it to the next risk they take and eventually they become experts at the risk they take (risk taken should not be excessive(too much uncertainty)). Then they end up having 80% success rates which I think is good enough. Make sure your business is halal.  Give charity regularly from your income, Allah loves charity an...

The need for constant power supply in developing nations

Hello readers, I will be writing about electricity today. I will be using Nigeria as a case study. Electricity is one of the factors that contributes to the success of an organisation. Developed countries have been able to maintain a  constant power supply. If they are able to have constant power then it is achievable. Constant electricity could attract good companies, thereby creating employment opportunities. This could alievate poverty in the developing countries. Thus, the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the economy will improve. The challenge here with having constant power supply is also not to pollute the environment as fossil fuel is mostly used for the supply of electricity. Greener alternatives could be used such as tidal energy and wind energy. In my opinion, electricity could be constant in Nigeria if the industry is privatised. The privitisation of the telephone industry made mobile phone easily accessible by individuals. Most people own a phone, both ...
