Most business owners start by wearing many hats and running several parts of their business. They have be the accountant, warehouse manager, marketing manager, and so on.

They can get confused or frustrated when they try to switch gears and get into different mindsets to accomplish disparate tasks. The easier things are, the better. Technology can be intimidating, especially software with all of its nuances and intricacies. A business owner doesn’t need the hassle of having to learn how to use another complex system. It is nice to keep things as simple as possible.
