Bespoke software built around how a business actually works

Problem this solves

Off-the-shelf software that doesn't fit how a business works

Initforthe builds custom software for small and medium-sized businesses, designing systems around a company's real workflows so teams stop working around off-the-shelf tools. Engagements cover development, process automation, systems integration and CRM, typically replacing spreadsheets or withdrawn vendor platforms with a single source of truth.

About this solution

Approach

Initforthe begins by learning how the business runs and involving the whole team rather than only management, then delivers in small, quick, agile stages with visible progress.

In practice

When HardSoft Computers' off-the-shelf lease management system was being withdrawn by its vendor, Initforthe built a bespoke platform that automates the order process, calculates finance figures, generates paperwork and submits it for funding approval, plus an interface around the old database to retain all historic data. The result was a single source of truth for lease and order information, faster dispatch and higher productivity.

Scope and fit

Suited to small and medium-sized businesses in finance, education and training, manufacturing and logistics, and legal. Scope spans bespoke development, business process automation, systems integration, CRM development and ongoing support, including replacing spreadsheet-based or withdrawn vendor systems.
