We’re delighted to have won our second award in eight months as 'Wealth & Finance International' named us the 'Best Digital Transformation Specialists in North-West England'!
The competition was close in this year’s FinTech Awards, which have been taking place annually for seven years now, but the Initforthe team came out on top-and deservedly so.
It’s been a busy time at Initforthe HQ as we continue on our mission to design and develop technology for happier, more productive teams. We’ve been hard at work helping our clients increase efficiency and agility, so it was a wonderful and unexpected surprise to receive the news of our award win.
Founder Tomislav said: “We’re delighted to have been awarded this coveted title in 'Wealth & Finance International’s' FinTech Awards which celebrate the most talented individuals and firms working within the field. “Being up there with the very best is a real honour and we couldn’t be prouder of our success - it’s a true testament to the value we deliver for our clients.” J
Just eight months ago, we were also named 'Software Development Company of the Year' in the 'Global Corporate LiveWire Awards 2022/23' for building software that delivers excellent results for our clients. Don’t just take our word for it - read some of our case studies here.

Your Software Holds the Data. But Does It Know How Your Business Works?
Your software might hold all the data about your business, but does it actually know how your business works? In two recent conversations, I challenged business leaders to question something they'd always taken for granted: whether the work their people were doing needed a person to do it at all.
From unnecessary CRM administration to an entire department dependent on one employee's knowledge, both conversations revealed opportunities that went far beyond making existing tasks easier. What if our systems could understand how work happens, learn from our best people and eventually take responsibility for much of the routine work themselves?

AI can write the code. Your business still needs an engineer
AI can now write a lot of the code we used to pay developers to write. That doesn’t make software engineering irrelevant. It makes the bit that was always more important much harder to ignore: understanding what should be built in the first place.
Vibe coding can turn your assumptions into working software incredibly quickly. But if the assumption is wrong, you’ve simply built the wrong thing faster. Good engineering starts before the app, CRM or automation. It starts by understanding how the business actually works, where people add judgement, and which parts of the process shouldn’t exist at all.

Four interruptions, two lost hours and the process your people shouldn’t be driving
Four interruptions can wipe nearly two hours from the useful part of a working day, and that’s before you count the interruption itself. Add long manual processes, routine human error, rework and stress, and you get a working environment where good people spend too much time recovering, correcting and chasing.
The answer isn’t to tell people to focus harder. It’s to design a better system, one that drives the process, preserves context, moves routine work automatically and only interrupts people when their judgement is genuinely needed.
