The right software has many incredible benefits for your eCommerce business, but how do you know if you are spending your money wisely? Investing in Saas solutions can alleviate many pain points of running your business, but only if you choose the right service provider. Choosing the wrong service provider is a waste of both money and time. 

Evaluating your service provider is tricky. Sometimes, it may seem like they are doing fine, but are you really getting the value you deserve?

In this post, we will outline the best ways to assess the value of your software service provider. Assess your service provider based on the qualities outlined below, so that you know if it is time to make the switch. 

Customer Service

The response time and problem resolution capabilities of your service provider are essential to your eCommerce business. To effectively use the service, you need a provider that is willing to help you out quickly and efficiently. 

The best vendors do not cost more for priority-level support. Your provider should respond promptly to your questions and concerns and dedicate the appropriate time and effort to help you. The last thing you want is to have great software that you cannot use effectively because you do not receive the proper support from your vendor. 

Scalable

To grow your eCommerce business, you need software and a provider that can scale with you. As a developing eCommerce business, your needs will change rapidly. Some managed service providers are unable to keep up with your changing demands and growth. Only top managed service providers will be able to adjust your agreement to meet your need as you grow your eCommerce business. 

Proactive Approach

A high-quality service provider will implement measures to solve your Saas issues ahead of time and ensure your software operates smoothly. Avoid providers that work on a break/fit model and only address and issue once it happens. For example, a top provider will offer training, education, frequent updates, high levels of security, and around-the-clock support. 

A Valuable Product 

Your provider is only part of the equation. You also need eCommerce software that offers incredible value. Cost and value are different concepts. Choosing a Saas provider based on price alone will not give you the value you are looking for. Evaluate the overall quality of the software and the service to assess if you are getting the best overall value for your eCommerce business. Examine the true scope of features and services that are included to determine the value. 

They Show You the Value of Your Software

While you should be able to determine the value of your software and provider on your own, the provider should also help you understand the value they offer for your eCommerce business. The top providers will be able to clearly articulate the ways they are working to support your business. Additionally, your service provider should be able to answer any questions you may have about the software or services so that you can fully see the value they offer.
