After several months of design, development and beta testing, the much awaited, web-based, business management software suite for SMEs, IBID, has been released.
Feature rich, simple-to-use, an elegant interface and user friendly language set IBID apart from similar systems often costing millions of shillings and out of reach for the thousands of SMEs that need such technology based tools.
IBID (Intelligent Business Internet Dashboard), developed by Ibid Labs, is an integrated toolset that enables SME owners and managers collect and share all operational data and information. IBID has 12 feature-rich modules that help business managers and their employees manage accounts, employees, customer service, sales, document management, project management and eCommerce and more!
Even with such a huge features list, IBID manages to use simple, every day business language so a first time user does not require much training. The interface is intuitive and if you can use email then using IBID will come naturally.
IBID runs off any web browser so users can access company data and all the features from a simple computer with an internet connection, or a mobile phone.
SMEs will find the recession friendly price of KShs 199,000/- affordable. The operational efficiencies and administrative cost savings of using IBID are massive. SMEs can expect a reduction of between 50% and 80% in adminstrative costs depending on how much use they put IBID to.
A company without the budget to hire specialised personnel for customer service, sales management, accounting and HR management will find IBID useful in managing those functions delivering high quality services to customers and employees.
Ibid Labs has also announced that to sweeten the deal for SMEs, they are throwing in free goodies such as, a free website, a free eNewsletter and mailing list management tool, free domain registration and free web hosting.
“This is the deal of the year,” quips Maina Kiarie, CEO, Ibid Labs. ‘Now all SMEs can take advantage of those higher, cheaper internet access speeds made possible by the fibre optic cables. At the same time SMEs will benefit from using cutting-edge business software, all at a price they can afford. Kenya can now leapfrog into the 21st century!”
