Do your systems talk to each other?
Find out how we get your IT communicating
…and all that information that should be making money for you is just making more work as you try to get it into some sort of order?
Are you fed up with having a business where nothing talks to anything else?
Get Your Data Working
If your accounts package and your contacts are not on speaking terms. We can produce systems that get information out of one silo and shared (safely and securely) with your other systems.
A fantastic example is our Event Bridge product. Developed for a client, all the Eventbrite bookings were in Eventbrite. All the contacts were in Salesforce. Event Bridge brings the data out of Eventbrite, cleans it up and safely brings it into Salesforce.
Why clean the data? Have you noticed how people type things like ‘None of your business’, or ‘****’ instead of writing their job title or company name. We trap that and put in something sensible. Our flagship produce can be seen at: event-bridge.com

Growing the Business in Interesting Times
Did you notice that the last 12 months has been interesting? Rather like that curse, may you live in 'interesting times'. For me, it has been a time of re-engaging with my lovely, lovely customers. A year ago, I gave up my staff, gave up the office, started working...

A heart to heart – what I learned from Lunch and Learn
One of the mind-games that I play as a business owner is that I am not good enough. That in many ways I have failed each and every client at some point in time. So, asking for a testimonial is only asking for trouble. This week, I held a ‘Lunch and Learn’. My...
