How Kim Batina Built a 50-Person ERP Software Business Across Five Countries
“You can’t effectively listen unless you understand the customers’ environment and you can speak their language.”
The story of Kim Batina and Precise Business Solutions began when Kim met her husband, Mark, at work in 1992, at an accounting firm in the computer services division. Their small team provided business management software and implementation services.
They fell in love and got married in 1995. Around the same time, Kim and Mark had the opportunity to take over the business from their ‘boss’ and lifelong friend and mentor. It was a wonderful opportunity and with nothing to lose, they jumped into the deep end, very green behind the ears! Kim and Mark began their journey as business owners with a handful of employees and a small customer list.
Fast forward more than 30 years and Kim is still a passionate business owner, but the landscape looks a little different these days, with over 50 staff, spanning five countries. The landscape at home is quite different these days too, with two gorgeous children blessing their lives and adding to the chaos!
At Precise Business Solutions, Kim offers a variety of products and services centred around Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software solutions, and she brings a huge amount of consulting and development expertise to the table across her dedicated team of experts. “This means we listen to our customers – we believe you can’t effectively listen unless you understand the customers’ environment and you can speak their language.”
“I love the support and accountability inside HerBusiness.”
Kim has been a member of the HerBusiness Network since 2015, and in that time, has built her knowledge, confidence and expertise in her business through Retreats, masterminds and the high-level HerBusiness Boardroom program. Kim shares, “I love the support and accountability. I also love sharing more about my business, and learning more about my fellow members’ businesses.”.
