What is an internal platform?

An internal platform is an application or website that is used only by the employees of a company. It is usually designed to improve employee efficiency and productivity by providing access to company-specific tools and information.

There are several reasons why a company might decide to develop an internal platform:

- To improve efficiency and productivity: an internal platform can help employees access the data and tools they need faster and easier, which can improve their productivity.

- To have better control over data and processes: by developing an internal platform, the company can have better control over data and processes, which can be especially important if it handles sensitive data or has strict security requirements.

- To adapt to specific business needs: an internal platform can be custom-developed to meet the specific needs of the business, which can be difficult with a pre-existing solution.

- To improve collaboration and communication: an internal platform can help employees collaborate and communicate more effectively, which can improve the quality of work and decision-making.

In general, developing an internal platform can be an attractive strategy for companies that want to improve their efficiency, control over data and processes, and ability to adapt to their specific needs. However, it is important to weigh the cost and benefits of developing an in-house platform against the pre-existing solution options available in the market.

What is the difference between an internal platform and a B to B platform?

An internal platform is an application used by a company to manage its internal business and operations, while a B-to-B (business-to-business) platform is an online platform used for business transactions between two companies.

Here are some key differences between an internal platform and a B-to-B platform:

- Users: an internal platform is used by a company's employees, while a B-to-B platform is used by companies to communicate and transact with other companies.

- Features: an internal platform has features designed to help a company manage its internal operations, such as project, documentation, and human resource management. A B-to-B platform has features designed to help companies communicate and conduct business transactions, such as order and payment management.

- Purpose: the purpose of an internal platform is to facilitate the management of internal company activities, while the purpose of a B-to-B platform is to facilitate business transactions between two companies.

In short, an internal platform is an application used by a company to manage its internal activities, while a B to B platform is an online platform used for commercial transactions between two companies.

Here are some important features that can be found on an internal platform:

- User management: it allows you to manage the users and roles of the application, define access rights and create new users.

- Project management: it allows to track the progress of the company's projects, define tasks and responsibilities of each team member and monitor the progress of projects.

- Documentation management: it allows to store and share the company's documentation, such as user manuals, procedures and policies.

- Internal communication: it allows employees to communicate with each other and exchange information, whether it is through instant messaging or discussion forums.

- Time Management: it tracks employee hours and generates timesheets.
- Human Resource Management: it manages employee information, such as contact information, skills, and work history.

- Financial Management: it tracks company expenses and revenues, creates budgets, and generates financial reports.

What is a back office?

A back office, on the other hand, is a part of a company that handles administrative and support tasks, such as accounting, human resources management, and supply chain management. The back office is usually separate from the front office, which is in charge of customer interaction.

It is important to note that the internal platform and the back office are not necessarily related. An internal platform can be used by all employees of the company, including those working in the back office, but it can also be used by employees of the front office or other departments. Similarly, the back office may use different tools and applications than the internal company platform.

When to use a back-office, for which type of functionalities?

The back office is usually integrated with an internal platform, such as an intranet, web application or desktop application. This allows company employees to access the data and tools they need to do their jobs efficiently and securely. The back office can include tools for data management, project management, internal communication, human resources management, etc. Generally, the back office is for employees and is not accessible to the general public.
A back office is a management interface that allows a company to manage its day-to-day business and internal operations.

Here are some of the important features that can be found in a back office:

- User management: it allows you to manage the users and roles of the application, define access rights and create new users.
- Data management: it allows you to manage the data of the application, import and export them, as well as backup and restore them.
- Order Management: Allows you to track orders placed by customers, process them and ship them.
- Inventory Management: Allows you to manage the company's inventory, track the entry and exit of products and update the inventory accordingly.
- Finance Management: Manage the company's bank accounts, track expenses and revenues, create budgets and generate financial reports.
- Customer Management: Manage customer information, track order history and send marketing communications.
