How hiring consultants can save your business

Nowadays it is very common to see new and settled companies running a business with high expectations and a few months later, you can see how they are forced to close and most of them do not know exactly why their strategy has failed.

Unfortunately, it is something that can happen to anyone in a competitive market but it’s also possible to avoid it. How? Having the proper tools and team to help you out when you most need it. You might think that a company should be able to solve their own problems — whether it’s cost management, payment transactions or a new market entry.

Well, the truth is, there are many reasons why companies really need help to grow. When an entrepreneur runs a business, he has to be in different places, taking decisions and his team might not be as complete as he wanted it to be. That’s when problems start to show up and with it comes the need to hire a consultant.

Consultants have the right expertise and experience in a specific field and can help you keep track of the progress. Among its different tasks, a consultant normally supports a brand on identifying problems, weaknesses, opportunities, helps you to implement changes and even saves you money by finding and giving you different options when searching for new services.

Having a team member with this profile, will not only allow you to see a fresh viewpoint from a qualified professional without worrying about if it’s the right decision or not for your business, but it will even bring new ideas and partnership with others brands.

So basically, we could say that a consultant’s main role is to coach, give expert advice, helps you as a mentor and helps you to make the right decisions.

How do we work at SWAPPT?

Our main goal is to: find the problem and weaknesses, create the best solution for your business and optimise the results.

Finding the problem: If your business is suffering from problematic “symptoms”, such as a decrease in sales, or cash-flow issues, internal management and payment frauds we can help you out. We will be ready to conduct some tests and research, and determine the root of the problem.

Creating the right solution: Is there any goal that you want to achieve internally but you don’t have the right expertise or because it is simply not within your company’s core competency? At SWAPPT we can save you time and money, and ultimately achieve a better result.

Optimizing: In some other cases, a company may have grown very quickly and know there are lots of things you could be doing better, but you do not even know where to start. By hiring the right team you’ll be able to bring in some fresh perspective, evaluate any or all areas of your business, and determine the processes and procedures to increase productivity levels.

Business Intelligence

We strongly believe that understanding online data is key to business success. In fact, nowadays information is power! But it can get difficult for some businesses to make sense of it without any user-friendly tool. That’s why we’ve worked so hard on SWAPPT B.I.

B.I. consolidates and aggregates transaction information from every channel into a centralised portal making data more accessible to merchants. A tool that helps our clients to take the right decisions about global expansion, transaction routing, and Omni-channel commerce in order to optimise the customer experience.

By identifying payment process inefficiencies and fraud patterns, merchants are able to implement solutions that reduce abandonment rates, card declines, downtime impact and self-protection. But as we were saying before, sometimes understanding every aspect of this information can be time-consuming, that’s why SWAPPT offers an exclusive consulting department ready to support businesses at any time.
