Why Accounting Firms Need to Have a Mobile App?

finance app development

The role of cell phones has changed dramatically. Introduced to streamline and facilitate long distance communication is now a go-to tool for grown-ups, professionals, millennials and people knowledgeable enough to comprehend its functionality for accomplishing tasks, which once looked bleak to accomplish while relaxing at home.

The society has transformed and businesses have been asked to switch ways, courtesy- disruption caused due to mobile technology. According to a stat from the Office for National Statistics, around 61% of adults access the internet away from office via the mobile device.

The increasing dependency and time spent on mobile devices indicate that if you as a business owner need to excel, then you got to adopt modern ways of doing things and going mobile is one of the new trends disrupting the entire technology space.

However, with mobile, we don’t refer to generating a mobile version of your existing website, but an entirely new piece of your business in form of a mobile app. Although, the mobile version has its own importance and is easily accessible on multiple devices, but a mobile app takes your business to an altogether new level. Precisely, we point out why you need to develop an accounting app in this digital era?

A Mobile App Uplifts Client Satisfaction

There is no factor as important as the client satisfaction. And believe me, making the client happy is the toughest job. Gone are the days when you used to fill a form on the website and wait for days to receive a response. It’s mobile age and customer satisfaction is on everyone’s mind. The mobile app can help achieve this feat as queries would be solved quickly with features available at their fingertips while they are on the move. This not only adds value to customers but also helps to foster relationships.

A Mobile App Extends Your Reach

According to a study, an average adult in America spends about two hours thirty minutes daily on a mobile device. This increases the probability of your business to reach a maximum number of users as they tend to flip through multiple screens, accessing, researching individual apps and the app store. The visibility of your app and chances of users opening your app increases, which isn’t the case with mobile-ready websites.

A Mobile App Offers Features on the Go

The interface of your app and the features it packs within hold the utmost importance. Loading your app with crucial features that users use often and the ones, which your rivals aren’t targeting can add value, but remember you don’t overdo things. Easy access to the interface with a financial calculator, tax tables, important dates and more can help you in grabbing a piece of the pie.

A Mobile App is an Ideal Tool for Marketing and Engagement

With modern devices taking over, you as a business owner, need to look out for modern methods of marketing. One such method that can help you is pushing notification. With mobile app analytics, you can figure out your target audience and optimize campaigns accordingly before you send them through to your customers. It has been discovered that push notifications have the better open rate than emails and text messages. Hence, you can push daily updates, industry news and more information for maximum engagement. However, you need to be careful while using this feature as it could backfire if done over ambitiously.

A Mobile App Helps You Build a Brand

Today’s market is all about staying ahead of the competition. Owning an accounting mobile app separates you from the rest as still there are very few mobile apps under the CPA umbrella. So, having one can position you as a thought leader whose footsteps needs to be followed.

Final Words

Accounting apps are rare to find, but not the mobile app development agencies. It’s the right time to invest in mobile technology, consulting a potent app development agency that can build a reliable product and grant you the success wings to fly higher than your competition.

How to Optimize Your Sunk Development Costs?


Software development domain is highly volatile. Notions tend to fluctuate with due course of time as nothing is for permanent. Technologies keep on upgrading while methodologies revamp accordingly.
The only predictable thing in the tech world is its unpredictability.

Every year new notions emerge, mode of operations and deployment techniques revamp asking organizations to switch ways. The firms, which decide to stick to outdated procedures and strategies get themselves stuck in a state of deadlock while others, which act accordingly rise to the occasion.

The most probable reason why companies stick to previously followed concepts is their belief in invested money, time and resources over the years. They wish to continue in the hope to excel and flourish the foundation set by them earlier. They keep ploughing ahead in the hope to achieve what’s desired. This emotional standpoint often asks businesses to stick to the plan despite all other indicators pointing to failure.

But, do they prosper despite challenging the flow? Probably, not. The revision in strategies and implementation demand the attention of every business owner. They need to have a critical eye regarding current market trends and possess the ability to adapt to the changes happening in the market. As there is no pointing lingering on things where chances of return are close to none.

Organizations should not be attached emotionally to the decisions taken or investment made prior to the project. Prior investments, which can’t be recovered refer to the sunk development cost. Firms should look forward with a positive attitude and mindset in making future decisions. They are advised to explore future growth opportunities and put aside the project if there aren’t any.

Unfortunately, business owners tend to indulge in activities, which are the stories of past. They often become overly committed to activities of past despite their poor performance and results. Their future decisions reflect past and they decide to move forward on the same track in the hopes of attaining successful turnaround.

Huge money is pushed to make a doomed project a success, which is not a wise move if you want to optimize your sunk development cost. Human psychology often holds back leaders in adopting change, which contribute heavily towards sunk development costs.

There are several ways sunk development costs can be avoided allowing businesses to take decisions, which will reap sweet fruits in the end. The Past has already gone, but your future is still in your hands. It’s time to make wise decisions, switch ways and invest smartly. Here are few ways to achieve the same.
  • Re-think future goals
After being trapped in sunk-cost you might go clueless of what’s the future? You also might panic because of resources, money and effort you had put in, which is normal. But, it’s time to stay calm and re-think your strategy. Without thinking too much about past you need to focus on growth opportunities and viable options for a long-term ROI.

Exploring and analyzing upcoming possibilities will dictate your success. No matter if you switch ways or stick to the root plan, what’s important is your next move. Hence, it’s important to explore deep, scrutinize every little titbit and challenges that might accompany you in future before taking a final call.

Plan accordingly, discuss with experts, consult your analysis team and perform an extensive research before any further move as you can’t afford to take a wrong foot forward this time around.

  • Reassess user’s needs and business objectives
A software or an app is built to cater user’s needs and overcome challenges faced by them. The end user holds utmost importance and businesses need to take care of that. The scope, ROI and growth are ultimately relating to how the user reacts to the final product. Establishment of business goals and objectives are thereby important keeping the end users in mind.

According to user’s perspective, prioritize goals and act accordingly to achieve the same. Consider the most important features needed to integrate first then following the list come to the least important ones. This will make the picture clear knowing where to spend and what can be eliminated.

  • Invest like a pro
One of the most important factors, which as a business owner you need to consider is investment. Investing more on the failed strategy or investing in a new model, is the puzzling choice you have to make here. You need to invest smartly after analyzing all the factors that include your app’s value, competition, scope and target audience.

Justify your analysis on the above-mentioned points before you start once again in building your dream product. Make sure your app stands out of the ordinary and you offer more than your competition, which would not only add value to your product but will also enhance your brand’s image.

Ensure you do a thorough research of your target audience and their needs. Plus, also analyze the scope of making money with the continued development as you already have invested heavily in the project in the past.

  • Routine meeting schedule
It has been observed that most of the projects fail due to lack of communication or irregular track of project’s development. This raises concerns for organizations to keep up the morale of the team as well as the project’s progress rate. To overcome such cases a regular meet-up and discussion sessions between teams is required, which ensures the project is on the right track and if there are any issues they can be counterfeit.

The discussion reveals interesting ideas while growth possibilities become vast, which ultimately helps in project’s improvement.

  • Selection of development company
Another crucial aspect is the selection of proficient development team. Until the team cannot deliver results nothing can turn in your favour. You must be cautious while handing over a project to the development team. Make sure you have done enough research of the market for a perfect development partner. Some important points, which you need to take note before you finalize include,
  
a. Prior experience in the same domain
b. Development process followed by the team to achieve targets
c. Past efficiency in delivering apps within time frame
d. Average budget in getting the task done
e. Customer satisfaction rate

If you can satisfy yourself on the above-listed points, then it’s probably the right time to team with a web development company, which can understand, analyze and transform your idea into reality.

How to Choose ideal Payment Gateway For Your Business


With startup balloon inflating at a high pace, businesses look to expand their reach by launching websites or mobile apps for showcasing their collection. Some look to conquer the digital arena by taking their brand from offline retail shop to modern digital store while some techies focus on building a marketplace for such business owners.

Whatever may be the case, each party looks to go online expanding business opportunities, growth prospects, an increase in revenue, wider reach and more happy customers. Building an e-commerce store isn’t an issue anymore. There are web and mobile app development companies who take care of the same from your project’s tender to maturity stage.

Launching an e-commerce store implies you’ll need a payment gateway for online transactions, which needs to be secure, easy to use, trustworthy and technically smart. People are apprehensive about the security of their personal details being leaked while performing an online transaction, which is right on their part.

There are numerous options available in the market but which one fits the bill? It isn’t as easy as stone skipping. Online stores need to try hard in order to find a perfect payment gateway provider. An in-depth research is required to find the best suit for your business needs.

There are large corporations which have ruled the market for more than 10 years while on other side of the court there lies a bunch of newbies who are innovative in their approach, technically sound and do things a different manner. So, the question is where to put your money on?

Before we move ahead in search of an ideal payment gateway, let’s first understand what does exactly a payment gateway means and how does it work?

Understanding payment gateway and its operations

For those who already know what a payment gateway is and why we require it, no need to ponder here and you can quickly move ahead to the following section, which takes you through the points to consider while choosing a payment gateway. Rest pay attention.

A payment gateway can be defined as a medium through which transactions are being processed between an online store and consumer. It enables a connection between the two allowing a secure and a direct transaction from consumer’s bank to service provider’s bank account.

How it actually works?

A connection is established by payment gateway between consumer’s bank and service provider’s website, which dictates the further terms that a transaction can be made or not. Following are the tasks performed by the gateway in real time to access if your credit/debit card is entitled to do an online transaction or not.

  • Fetches customer’s credit/debit card details
  • Seeks verification from the issuing bank (Accepted or declined)
  • Passes verification status to the customer visiting the website
  • If verification is positive and customer made a payment, then gateway accepts the payment from issuing bank and transfers to the acquiring bank
  • In the fund transfer process, gateways charge their cut and process the remaining from issuing bank to acquiring bank.

How to figure out which gateway fits the bill?

Here are certain points you need to consider before you seal the deal.

1. Integrated or hosted

There are basically two types of gateways- integrated and hosted. As the name suggests, integrated, it will be integrated into your store and visitor won’t be redirected to another platform for payment procedure. Unlike, in the case of hosted gateways where a website visitor is redirected to another platform for completing payment formalities.

Selecting a hosted gateway pops up several doubts related to its popularity, reliability and trustability. People would be reluctant in entering their account details on a platform which isn’t popular or seems unreliable to them, therefore impacting your conversion rates. Directing a customer off your website is always a risky affair.

Instead, integrating a gateway into your website is a smooth, seamless experience for you as well as your customers. If they make a purchase on your website, it means they trust you and they won’t give a second thought before sharing their account details on your website.

Both gateways have their pros and cons, it is advised to analyze the same before taking a final call.

2. Supports your business model

It is crucial to ensure at the start if your future payment gateway provider supports your business model. Go through their websites in the quest for finding a list of businesses they feel comfortable working with. It will save you a lot of time. There are providers, which don’t support businesses like dating, gambling, gaming, trade etc. while others might be up for an association. Also, check if they offer additional protection schemes as well like fraud detection, chargeback management etc.

3. Customer support

It is one of the important aspects if you run an online business. Your web visitors expect you to be available all the time for any query, doubt related to product’s size, color, availability or material. Similarly, you might also require support if in any rare case something goes wrong. Make sure gateway provider provides around-the-clock support.

4. Targeted audience (Local or Global)

Analyze what your targeted audience is? Do you want to reach global audience too? Do you ship internationally? There are local and global payment providers. Former can take care of all the transactions done via local banks, cards etc. while the latter comes with a plenty of new possibilities and support like multiple global cards support, multi-currency support, currency exchange settlements, alternative payments and much more.

5. Fees charged

There is a certain amount charged by providers in return for setting up the gateway and real-time transactions. This can vary from provider to provider, hence it is advised to research good before picking one. They generally charge on a percentage basis with every successful transaction done.

However, don’t get too excited by providers with low fees. They might entice clients with low pricing but can trouble in future due to lack of technology or expertise. Focus on the real cost of the system, considering technology involved, expertise and bank collaborations. You can definitely negotiate rates, but squeeze the lemon to a certain limit.

6. Security comes first

Security is crucial, not only for you as a business owner but also for your customers who’ll be sharing their personal details on your website. Hence, it is important to ensure that your gateway provider has everything covered and sorted around the same. Ensure maximum protection is achieved every time an online transaction is made on your website.

Effective online payments are one of the prime factors in determining the effectiveness of an online business. Don’t compromise on the same and ensure you have a reliable and safe payment gateway provider onboard.

Why WordPress Isn’t a Suitable E-Commerce Platform?


With the recent advances in information technology, even small and  medium sized firms are moving towards eCommerce.  There are over 500 platforms for eCommerce development that makes it difficult to choose the best one for your business. One of them is WordPress which is a leading  Content Management System. Almost all of you are familiar with Wordpress, or at least heard about how easy it is to learn and implement. Doesn’t it sound good to add an eCommerce plugin and manage everything under your WordPress dashboard? Definitely it seems to be a cake walk, but reality is very much different.

Don’t get me wrong, even I love Wordpress and use it in my various sites. But, Wordpress is only a blogging platform and suitable only for content based websites. It doesn’t matter whether it has 1000 of plugins and themes available or it is free, the basic fact remains same that it is unsuitable for eCommerce. I am not saying that you can’t do anything with Wordpress, in fact, if your product catalogue is limited and straightforward and you don’t have a large range of products to sell (not more than a couple of dozen), Wordpress is more than sufficient for you.  But if you have big dreams for your store, then dedicated eCommerce platforms are better choice  as they are built from scratch for eCommerce and online stores, and also have specific features that make them easy to use as an eCommerce Development Platform.

WordPress is basically a content management system with extra features to use it as eCommerce but a dedicated eCommerce platform is basically a store management system

It is best to use a tool for the purpose that it was intended. Here is a list of the some points that make Wordpress unfit for eCommerce development:
  • I t can’t be used for sites with a lot of sales due to the heaviness of database queries.
  • You only get what you pay for, so you can’t expect necessary features for professional online store from free WordPress plugins. And support is available only from the community of users not from the original developers.
  • Being an Opensource it is simply available to everyone so it is the easiest target for hackers. As an online store owner, the last thing you want is your customers' information being stolen.
  • Last but most important point is that they are not PA-DSS compliant. It means you can’t accept credit cards on your site.  Your customer can only pay through  third party services like PayPal or Google Wallet, which will hurt your conversion rate in the long run.
  • Even if, Wordpress plugins for eCommerce like WP e-Commerce or  WooCommerce claims that their platforms support thousands of products, but generally they do not perform as well as a platform which is dedicated to eCommerce.
  • Although we can add several themes and plugins to make it work for eCommerce, but problem arises during Wordpress upgradation. Maybe your installed theme and plugin does work well with the upgraded version.
What do you want content or online store - WordPress CMS are born for Content and eCommerce platforms are born for online stores.

Conclusion: No doubt that WordPress is a great Content Management System, and I always commend it as a ‘blogging’ platform. Although we can make it compatible for eCommerce by integrating various plugins, but the basic fact remains same that Wordpress is not developed to be an eCommerce Platform. However, you can’t deny the importance of using a true store management system for your online store.  Questions?  Feel free to ask in the comments.

Factors That Make Your Website Working Well Under Stress


People often wonder about the fast approaching deadline that can be usually achieved under more stress. But the fact is, stress makes it difficult to focus upon the task which is being performed. And hence, no one can achieve the quality target under the pressure, but can meet the time limit. Meeting the deadline is not our only aim, but achieving the quality should be the primary concern.

In the same scenario, business owners or entrepreneurs must focus on the website that works well under pressure. Website maintenance takes a lot of time and cost and one must ensure about its performance under stress also. Load and stress performance testing must be tested on a regular basis.

Here are some activities that can help you ensure that your website perform well under stressful conditions:
  1. Measure the effectiveness: First and foremost step is to establish a baseline for the effectiveness of the website after the modifications that have to be made. You can also take the help of some tools like speed test tool or page load test tools and also the uploading and downloading internet speeds.
  2. Reduce the Page load time with images: Reducing the resolution of images or compressing images will help you get better loading time. Images with better resolution may take more time as compared to compressed images. Reduced file size gives the better uploading speed.
  3. Always use Tag Manager: Most site owners integrate third-party applications for a better user experience and hence leads to the worst performance sometimes. The more relevancy sometimes leads to the worst performance. To improve the performance, these types of applications use tags to provide feedback for social media campaigns and internet advertising. A tag manger works like a traffic cop which reduces the page load time where tags are already installed. It is recommended that always use a tag manager for better speeds as slow pages are not good for business and better user experience.
  4. Enable Cache: Caching saves lots of downloading time and hence enable caching wherever you can. You can enable caching in the browser, at server side and also at network level with the help of content delivery network provider. The Thounb Rule: 80% of customer response time is spent in installing the components of a web page; reducing the distance to deliver a web page between the customer and the unique content can reduce web page loading time.
  5. Implementing Content Delivery Network (CDN): Implementing CDN lowers the bandwidth utilization and improves the latency issues. It is helpful in some cases where you have lots of static content and you want to reduce the content delivery time.
  6. Website Testing: Properly perform the system testing and identify the failure points within the application before your customers. Discover all small preventable faults on your web application before they become any major stability problem for customers during the revenue season.
  7. Optimizing Database Queries: Since web pages are generated dynamically from the online database directory stored on the website in most eCommerce online stores, it is recommended to optimize the database queries so as to give instant results and to reduce access time for long queries.
  8. Identify the Broken Links: “Page not Found Error” is not a good impression for any user as it leads to the lost of queries and hence it may take user away from our website to a competitor’s site. Using free tools like Broken Link Checker can help you to scan your website for broken links and reduce the 404 errors.
Hope these factors will help your website with no loss of customers during your peak revenue season. Not only these, other factors like your website design and easy navigation is also helpful for a better user experience.

Preview: iOS8 v/s Android L



The past month of June witnessed the unveiling of two of the most vibrant mobile operating systems developed by the two technical giants of the Silicon Valley, namely Apple Inc. and Google. While Apple set ablaze the proceedings at the WWDC 2014 with its latest version iOS8, Google followed up with the new, improved and revamped version of Android, the Android L. Instead of precisely comparing both mobile operating systems with each other, we are generalising a verdict according to the levels of productivity they provide in the given sections.

Before going further at the feature comparison let's have a quick look at the Availability:
As per sources of the companies, both iOS8 and Android L will be released for the users this autumn, i.e. in September or October. Currently, these mobile operating systems are available in beta; while Apple’s iOS8 beta version can be downloaded by joining the Apple’s developer program at a cost of 99$ , Android L on the other hand, as per its open source nature, can be downloaded for free.

Since there have been numerous amendments and introduction of various new tweaks in both Android L and iOS8, it’s time to compare the Features.

Notifications
The Android L comes with the feature of enhanced notifications that will be visible over the locked screen. Although you can manage the content shown according to your privacy measures, the phone will also prioritize the order of notifications according to the accuracy of actions towards a particular app.
The notifications in iOS8 have also been made more interactive; you can reply to a text, re-tweet, like Facebook statuses, snooze your alarm, all without even leaving the current application you’re working on.
Lock Screen
Android L brings about a new lock screen to the devices through which you would be able to see the notification. You can access the camera by swiping left, swipe right to launch the dialler and swipe up to unlock.
The lock screen in iOS8 remains unchanged and looks similar to the one in iOS7.
Developer Features
Google has added several new tools that would lead to the enhancement of the overall credibility of Android L. Apple Inc. which is known for maintaining its privacy when it comes to developing tools has also opened up a bit, giving iOS developers some scope for development. The Extensibility feature will provide iOS apps with the ability to intermingle with each other. That would facilitate user like never before. Now, by using ‘Action Extensions’, the Bing Translate feature can be incorporated into Safari so that the users can use the capabilities of both apps simultaneously. Google has introduced new features in Android L such as direct links to apps from Google Search; this feature was available for limited Android developers but is now available for the entire lot.
Beta versions of both these mobile operating systems are available for developers, which can lead to the creation of immense possibilities for the development of new tools.
Widgets
Apple has finally introduced widgets which are termed as ‘Todays Extensions’ that can be placed in the ‘Today’ view in iOS8’s Notification Centre. iOS users seem to be quite excited about this addition as the inclusion of widgets similar to those in Android had always been a hot topic.
Handoff
Handoff is another new feature in iOS8 that is going to facilitate the iDevice users at the next level. Under this feature each and every device will be interconnected to each other in order to enhance ease of functionality. If you’re taking a call over your iPhone and have a sudden urge to use the OS X (Yosemite) on your Mac, you can easily switch your call over to it and even back to the iPhone. This is not limited to just calls, when typing mails you get options to continue over various devices; you can see all your iPhone Messages as well.
Such features are available in Android L too, although third-party apps are required for the execution, which is not as seamless as Apples’s Handoff feature. If you happen to own a Chromebook then there can be a performance boost as Android L will automatically unlock your laptop if your smartphone or tablet is in the vicinity, the notifications will appear on both, the laptop and your mobile device.
Battery Life
The exact boost that both Android L and iOS8 will provide to the battery life is not known yet. Although there is one major factor that Google had discussed at the I/O 2014, the Project Volta. It is being claimed that Project Volta will lead to an increase in thebattery backup of the Nexus 5 by 90 minutes. As for iOS8 there hasn’t been any modification that enhances battery saving.
Both Android L and iOS8 have employed a series of changes in their respective platforms but without any doubts it can be said that the features introduced in iOS8 will prove to be a game changer in terms of user experience.
