In today’s business world, companies are increasingly becoming dependent upon the right software solutions.

With Thailand’s SME sector growing strongly, the development of smart and responsive software to support back-office systems is becoming ever more important. This is where EWORKS comes in.

Established in 2010, EWORKS started as a boutique Bangkok software development company. It develops business management solutions for SMEs.

“Our expertise is providing fully integrated software system in all possible areas,” Gautam Ganguly, managing director of EWORKS Consultants, says. One such area is developing management systems, such as Tour Plus, for amusement parks.

“Tour Plus is the solution to the challenges of amusement park management,” he says. “It started as a guest management tool and now includes booking management, guest management, B2B sales contract management with tour agents, front desk handling and F&B management. It also integrates purchase order devices such as barcode readers and scanners, receipt printers and a lot more.” He adds that the software could be adapted for multi-facility entertainment centres, golf courses, spas, bowling alleys or smaller entertainment centres.

Gautam believes that Thais have a strong sense of entrepreneurship. “They like having financial freedom and seem not to fear the risk when they see the opportunity, whether this is a very small business like a coffee shop or a bigger business, such as an import-export company or entertainment complex,” he says. EWORKS products enable Thai entrepreneurs to become successful.

Another EWORKS product is Billing Lite, a software designed for SMEs. “It’s a web-based enterprise resource planning software … designed to integrate purchases, sales, inventory, accounting and payment processes into the existing business workflows and allowing additional customised integration,” he says.

The company has clients in both public and private sectors, including Dream World and Siam Niramit in Thailand and Ancol Dreamland in Indonesia.

Gautam believes the nature of the IT industry is changing very fast, so people need to keep learning and developing themselves.

“Personal development is even more important than innovation or technology,” he says. “Even if you have a five-star software but do not understand how to communicate or offer products to match the needs of your clients, your business negotiations will not be successful.”
