Best of breed

The mythical do-it-all solution does not exist.

According to the renowned market research firm Gartner Group, the demands on enterprise software have become increasingly complex and individual in recent years. Users in different areas and departments require tailor-made solutions that are precisely adapted to their needs. Integrated systems cannot meet these requirements, as they are generally designed for a broad mass of users and are therefore not specific enough.

We rely on Best of Breed – what is it?

The Best of Breed philosophy is a modern approach to achieving the individually appropriate software for one's own company. One selects the best available solutions for their area of application and combines them. This does not involve an all-in-one solution, but rather individual software modules that are specifically optimized for their purpose. This could include payroll, invoicing, and a planning tool.

An important aspect is the integration of the individual systems. Modern interfaces allow the various solutions to be linked together, enabling seamless data exchange. This eliminates time-consuming manual data entry and evaluation. According to the consulting firm Accenture, companies are increasingly relying on Best of Breed solutions. Currently, 71% of surveyed companies are using a mix of integrated solutions and Best of Breed systems.

Our suggestion: Supplement your software system with SMARTCHILLI

As early as 2020, in workshops with prominent representatives of the event industry, we identified where existing systems in the industry still fall short. Specifically, the areas of (a) cross-company event and personnel deployment planning, (b) scheduling of external employees and temporary staff, (c) communication, (d) time recording, and (e) documentation cannot be satisfactorily solved by established solutions. That's why we designed SMARTCHILLI to excel in these areas – and to prove it with key performance indicators. Daily.

In this context, Best of Breed for us means that proven software modules remain, and SMARTCHILLI is integrated for its area of application. By combining different systems, it is always possible to react to changes. New requirements can be implemented quickly without having to replace the entire system. We don't want to reinvent the wheel. Proven functions that are satisfactorily provided by established systems should continue to be used.

So, instead of developing yet another invoicing system, another employee administration system, and another payroll program, we connect with these – usually already existing programs. This keeps us fast and cost-effective. Employees responsible for invoicing and billing can continue to work in their familiar programs – and we focus on what we are already leading in: The unique planning and coordination of many employees. We offer to integrate SMARTCHILLI as a plug-in into the existing structure. This can be implemented very easily, as systems typically offer the option to integrate time recording terminals.
