A local business has grown 30% and an expanded its team.

Established in 2016, Clever Software Group, Ringwood, is a bespoke software development company which aims to revolutionise the way clients do business.

It has created individual software solutions from new and existing specifications and developed software for leading brands for a range of clients, from charities to surveying firms. With 18 years of development experience, managing director Andrew Matthews says he leads a team of bright and dynamic custom software developers.

At the beginning of 2020, Clever Software Group had five staff, including three highly-talented software developers. “Although 2020 was a difficult year, we took the rapidly-changing circumstances in our stride and quickly adapted to continue producing high-quality bespoke software solutions, while working from home offices.

“There has been a massive collaborative effort from the team,” Andrew said. “Everyone in the team has carried on full of positivity and are still as productive as ever, despite working from home. We have been very fortunate and have been able to continue working with pre-existing clients, whilst also acquiring new clientele and further exciting software projects to work on. Now, more than ever, our clients are appreciating the value of effective software to aid running their business, be that remotely or with a skeleton staff. We are thankful to not only have a stable business but to have increased our revenue by 30%. Our success has been down to the team and due to their endeavours, we have been able to adapt to our clients’ needs.

“Unfortunately, some of the industries we work with have been hit hard by the pandemic, but we have provided key support and software adaptations to help their business operate in the new landscape. We have made adjustments to on-going projects that will allow these industries to continue trading, and in time, continue to perform as best as they can. Clever Software Group has really flourished since June 2020 and that’s really down to the people I have within my team – I’m very proud of them all and am excited to see what happens in 2021. We relocated to a new office premises, located in Ringwood last summer and I can’t wait to have the team back together as a full unit again in this space.”

Towards the latter end of 2020, Andrew expanded the team by adding four members, including a User Interface Designer, Project Manager and Digital Marketing Executive.

Looking into 2021, Clever Software Group is hoping to expand its skill-base even more, by taking on three more staff.

“We strive to deliver excellence in quality and innovation, keeping customers ahead of the curve. When it comes to software development, Clever Software Group believes anything is possible,” Andrew stressed.
