Five reasons to do a Proof of Concept (POC) with Gung
It can overwhelming to determine if a software solution is going to meet your specific needs or deliver the desired outcomes. This is where the concept of a "Proof of Concept" (PoC) comes into play. In this blog, we will explore what a proof of concept is and delve into the reasons why you should embrace this approach when it comes to Gung.
What is a POC?
A proof of concept is a preliminary implementation or demonstration of a software solution's core functionalities to validate its feasibility, effectiveness, and compatibility with the your requirements. It serves as a tangible representation of the software's potential, showcasing how it can address the your pain points and deliver the anticipated benefits. The PoC focuses on showcasing the key features, workflows, and integrations that are vital to the your business objectives, providing you with a glimpse of what the final product could achieve.
A POC is easy with Gung

This means that we can easily connect Gung to your ERP system and quickly get a clear visualization of what Gung could mean for you and your business. As they say, pictures are worth a thousand words, and that's how we feel about the POC, too.

Five reasons to use a POC
Assessing Fit and Feasibility: Running a POC will help you to evaluate how well Gung aligns with your unique business requirements. It allows you to test-drive the solution and assess whether or not it can seamlessly integrate into your existing infrastructure, workflows, and processes.
Validating Performance and Functionality: A POC provides an opportunity to evaluate the Gung’s performance, functionalities, and user experience. You can get a first-hand taste for Gung’s user interface and usability, and you’ll also be able to experience the speed at which it handles your data.
Mitigating Risks and Reducing Costs: A POC mitigates the risks associated with investing in the full software implementation without prior validation. By testing the solution in a controlled environment, you can identify any potential shortcomings or limitations early on, allowing you to make an informed decisions before proceeding with the project.
Facilitating Stakeholder Alignment: A POC can become part of the evaluation process, giving your team a chance to provide valuable feedback, voice their concerns, and align their expectations. This collaborative approach increases the likelihood of achieving buy-in and adoption—which in turn increases your likelihood for success.
Showcasing ROI and Business Value: A well-executed POC can help you better visualize and quantify the return on your investment (ROI) in Gung. Sure, a sales rep can help you identify common ways companies save time and money, but every business is unique.
