"At its simplest, the decision to use standard commercial software versus developing custom software depends on the people in your business.

It includes the use of software to automate portions of the work and keep appropriate records - spreadsheets, word processors, accounting systems and other databases. An important feature of organizations like this is a culture that communicates "how things are done" to new hires. If you have an organization that has shown capability and willingness to "do things differently than they have in the past," and there are commercial software packages that automate the relevant operations, then your business may well be a candidate for a standard product.
