Ed: Funny how things get screwed up, I nearly didn’t feature this pitch, the details as submitted were a little incoherent and I thought that perhaps someone had let the intern do PR for their company.
But I went and had a look at Pipefy and blow me down but it’s actually excellent, both in idea and execution.
Business processes are one of the toughest things to get right in a new business and if you happen to find yourself in charge of a fast growing business you almost always end up writing custom software to make those processes work properly.
This usually happens when you are stretched for both resources and cash. So if Pipfy can live up to their great looking app this promises to be an excellent way to help startups and businesses keep track of a lot of processes that are currently manually done, kept on spreadsheets or spread between numerous systems.
Good luck guys, great idea.

Beyond license costs, It was required to spend thousands of dollars with IT consultants to customize and implement the available solutions. We know the problem like the back of our hand and know the pain points of our competitors. All of us worked in the field for years modeling processes, with management consulting, ERP implementations and BPM implementations. |
