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.

The approval takes five minutes. The waiting costs far more.

The approval takes five minutes. The waiting costs far more.

A five-minute approval can leave work waiting for days. Once a quote, purchase, job or invoice misses its slot, the delay spreads into the rest of the process.

People switch tasks, schedules move, customers wait and cash arrives later. The decision itself may be quick, but the queue around it can cost far more than anyone realises.

You probably don’t need a CRM; you need the work to flow properly.

You probably don’t need a CRM; you need the work to flow properly.

Most growing businesses think they need a CRM, but the real problem usually sits between departments.

When sales, operations and finance all rely on different systems, spreadsheets and good people end up holding the process together by hand.

You Don’t Have an AI Strategy. You Have a Dependency

Many businesses are moving quickly with AI, but speed can hide fragility. When a workflow quietly becomes dependent on one model, one provider, and one set of behaviours nobody controls, useful experimentation can turn into operational risk.

In this post, we explore why AI strategy is not about picking today’s best model, but building the architecture, context, and control to adapt when models change.
