Our values
Authenticity
We believe in building great software that works out of the box and doesn't cost the earth.
Collaboration
The best way to build software is to work with people who use it. This means we're always open to great ideas.
Supporting growth
We don't user per user charging as it penalises growth. We charge a flat fee for unlimited users so growing doesn't hurt.
Transparency
We believe in being transparent with our customers about what we're doing and why we're doing it.
Inspiration
We love standing on the shoulders of giants and learning from the best software on the market.
