TOP mistakes of entrepreneurs at the start of development and automation of processes

mobile and web development

As practice shows, many entrepreneurs make the same mistakes.

The result? Prolonged deadlines, budget overruns, and a product that doesn't solve problems. At Sailet, we understand our clients perfectly well, who strive for maximum efficiency in their processes. For more than 7 years, we've been developing software solutions for businesses. We optimize processes and create customer services.

1. Unclear goals and objectives of the project

One of the main mistakes is the lack of clearly defined goals. Many start a project with the words: "I want something cool." Without specifics, the contractor will have to guess what you need, and you'll end up with a product that doesn't solve your problems.

2. Underestimating time and budget

Many entrepreneurs believe that it’s possible to quickly and inexpensively develop a high-quality solution. In reality, this isn't true: rushing and minimal budgets often lead to poor quality and rework.

3. Trying to automate everything at once

Often, entrepreneurs want to automate all processes at once. But this leads to overloading the team, increasing the cost of the project, and reducing efficiency.

4. Ignoring the opinions of employees

Employees are those who will work with the automated system. However, if they are not involved in the process, implementing new technology may face resistance.

5. Wrong choice of contractor

Too often, entrepreneurs choose a contractor based solely on price. But a cheap solution can end up being more expensive if it doesn’t function properly. Pay attention to the company’s portfolio and reviews from its clients.

6. Lack of integration planning

If automation requires interaction with existing systems but integration isn’t thought through, it will lead to duplicated tasks and data loss.

7. Ignoring testing

Skipping the testing phase guarantees problems. Implementing an unfinished system can lead to crashes, data loss, and user dissatisfaction.

8. Lack of a support plan and updates

After launching a project, it's crucial to ensure its smooth operation. However, many forget about this and encounter issues within the first few months.

9. Waiting for an instant result

Automation and the development of an IT product are long-term investments. However, many entrepreneurs expect immediate returns and become disappointed if the results aren't visible right away.

Development and automation can give your business a powerful boost. But only if you approach the process thoughtfully. Clear goals, a high-quality specification, the right contractor, and attention to detail are key to success.

Sailet's team knows how to avoid these mistakes. We'll help you formulate your objectives, develop a plan, and launch a project that truly delivers value. Want to discuss a project? Get in touch with us!
