Sustainable Digital Solutions Driving SMEs Transformation

However, despite the significant contribution to the GDP, many SMMEs often fall victim to poor macroeconomic conditions.

SMMEs and entrepreneurs face many challenges; financial constraints due to rising inflation rates, competition posed by large corporations, unskilled labourers, and lack of digitalisation are just a few difficulties. 

The World Economic Forum – The Future of Jobs May Report 2023 highlights the pandemic fast-tracked the Fourth Industrial Revolution, noting that the skills required to survive this digital age are digital adeptness, soft skills, entrepreneurial skills, and technical skills.

Small business owners and entrepreneurs have managed to make this transition have greatly benefited from digital innovation, which has created new industries and markets, and presented new employment opportunities for knowledge workers. In addition, digital tools and cloud computing have revolutionised business operational capabilities, allowing small organisations to engage larger target markets. 

Along with the revolution in engagement and connectivity, technology has taken huge strides in workflow automation and information flow. As a result, it is now possible for small businesses to cost – efficiently transform into digitally native operations. 

Innovation, however, comes at a price, and many of the data and security applications required to enable digitisation are costly and require up-front cash investment. As a result, this model is difficult for our local SMMEs to achieve, especially in challenging economic times.
