Hi again guys. It has been a while since my last post. If you could still remember, I created a thread almost a year ago where I introduced a business software whose objective is to easily manage the revenues, expenses, or financial records for small businesses. Unfortunately, it did not turn out the way I planned and the responses were very poor. It was a bit exciting at first, a number of users have registered, and 6 of my friends who owned small businesses did purchase subscriptions but was not sustained.


Common feedbacks are as follows:
- Though the application was marketed as a simple tool, it turned out it was complicated for casual users.
- There are a lot of features which are not relevant or are not useful and can be removed.
- With too much features, the system became too confusing.
- Many others.


This was my shortcoming, as I started developing the software without consulting people and gather ideas what really are the things needed. Do not get me wrong, I did not create the project blindfolded, but the features or ideas came from a Norwegian business software which I am currently working for in one of IT companies here in the Philippines. So most functionality are borrowed from it. However, the features from that inspiration software might not work in a Philippine platform, which I think is the reason why it failed.


So akong plano karon is to change strategy. I plan to create a NEW version from scratch for the business software, but this time, I will be gathering ideas from the forum if it is fine with you guys. So feel free to throw in your ideas, most especially if naa kay business karon and you are having a hard time managing and computing your financial records, revenues, expenses, net profit, etc.


I also have a few small businesses, and I myself kay naglibog unsaon pagmonitor sa akong cash flow. Currently using the first version of my software, as well as some Google Drive spreadsheets, which are still inconvenient for me. There are several business softwares available but are very expensive.


So post sa inyong mga ideas guys, and we can talk of the benefits later. Below are my initial plans for the first developments/features that I plan to work during my free weekends (or weekdays even):
- Sign-up and Login
- Create businesses
- Register contacts (customers and suppliers) records
- Register sales orders
- Register products
- Revenues and expenses chart


Thanks in advance guys!
