City of Merida, Yucatan, Mexico.

Microsip Sureste celebrates 17 years of helping thousands of SMEs in southeastern Mexico through its #RedMicrosip. Meet Carlos Ceballos y Ceballos "The Software Lord".

The Mexican company Microsip celebrates 17 years in the southeast of the country. In an interview with Regional Director Carlos Ceballos y Ceballos, founder of the company, he shares with us how it has survived in the market for so many years and what it has contributed to thousands of SMEs in the southeast region.

“Since my time at university, I always wanted to have my own company and I started several businesses in which I sometimes did well and sometimes badly. Additionally, I worked for a few years in a bank, an activity that introduced me to the corporate world. Both experiences allowed me to acquire a great deal of knowledge to face the challenges that came to me as an entrepreneur.

I started the company in 1999. At first we only distributed the software in Mérida, but little by little, we began to venture into other cities in the southeast of the country, until we established regional coverage in Yucatán, Campeche, Quintana Roo, Chiapas and Tabasco.”

How long have they been on the market?

“On November 20th of this month, Microsip celebrates 17 years in the market of the Southeast region, a very important date for us as it reflects the effort and trust that SMEs in the region have placed in our system to streamline their companies' processes.

In these 17 years, have companies changed in terms of technology adoption?

Although some business owners classify investment in technology as an expense, in recent years more and more companies are adopting administrative software solutions, both to comply with tax obligations and to make their companies more efficient. Selling software today is relatively easier than it was 17 years ago.”

Tell us, how does Microsip work?

“Our products are aimed at four main areas of business: distribution, point of sale, administration, and mobile computing.

The distribution area includes five Microsip solutions: Sales, Inventory, Purchasing, Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable systems.

The second area is Point of Sale, which can be linked to the Inventory and Accounts Receivable system.

The administrative area is made up of the Accounting, Banking and Payroll systems.

And finally we have the mobile computing area, which has become very important in the market, as technology has become a part of our daily lives. This area includes the Microsip en Ruta systems, which collect orders and payments via mobile, CEO Móvil, which allows you to see reports and the status of your company from any mobile device, and finally we have Zinc E-commerce, which synchronizes the products of an online store with our systems.

It is important to mention that Microsip systems are constantly updated to comply with the fiscal and legal requirements issued by the authorities.”

What type of companies does Microsip serve?

“Being a modular system, it offers the opportunity to work with micro, small and medium-sized companies, mainly in the industrial, commercial and service sectors. From employee-owners to corporations with 250 employees. The flexibility of our modular scheme allows us to adapt precisely to the needs of our clients and support them in their growth.”

How does the software work?

“The systems can be installed individually, according to the needs of each company, with the option of interconnecting them to form an integrated ERP. First, we detect the specific needs of the company, then we carry out the implementation according to our proven methodology, thus guaranteeing the success of the project and the results for the client.”

What is the importance of Microsip distributors?

“We consider our distributors as business partners and as protagonists of the commercial network, since we provide them with the training, capacity building and support necessary for them to help their clients increase their productivity and therefore also grow their own companies. We have a successful business model and a very efficient start-up program, which allows new distributors to close sales in the short term and, over time, consolidate their companies, creating long-term assets.”

Will Microsoft have any news for 2017?

“In January we will launch the Microsip as a service scheme, which consists of the entrepreneur having the option of paying a monthly “rent” for the systems. This modality is attractive both for entrepreneurs who do not have the resources to make an initial investment, as well as for companies that prefer to partly invest in the software. Additionally, the scheme of purchasing licenses in full ownership will continue to be marketed.

We will continue to promote e-commerce among our clients by providing them with the service of designing, creating and launching virtual stores, with online payments, shipping logistics and linking with our systems for inventory control and billing, thus providing a comprehensive service that is unique in the market.

And finally, I would like to tell you that we will begin marketing a CRM, which is a tool that allows you to manage a company's sales processes, follow up on and maintain customers; the main characteristic is that the CRM will be integrated with other systems.

What would you like to say to the entrepreneurs who read this article?

I would like to invite entrepreneurs, small and medium-sized companies to approach us because through systems and a professional consulting service, we can help them increase the productivity of their companies, at very affordable prices. As I always say, “we are the doctors of companies.”

I also invite those interested to join our network of distributors, which offers them the support of a consolidated brand and a successful business model that provides them with security, stability and the impetus to improve their income and quality of life.
