Company at a glance

We are a mobile-first software company, designing brilliant mobile applications for professional users in industries with wider societal benefits.

We build, sell and support our products ourselves – we’re not a design agency, we don’t do custom development for other people and we’re not a consultancy. We believe, as a software product company, we can support and grow a smaller stable of products from initial idea to world-beating, mature platforms.

Why Tefogo?

Tefogo stands for Technology For Good. We know we’re not the first people who want to use technology for good (or indeed who don’t want to use it for evil). But we believe that it’s unusual enough that we wanted to put it at the heart of our company.

Working on problems with a wider societal benefit means that the team working each day knowing the products they are building and servicing can help people and make the world a better place. This motivates us to build the very best products we can, knowing that our users will use them to help other people.

Company core values

We make the world a better place.

  • Teamwork

    No great companies are built alone; the best products and the best times come from working together as a high-performing team. We are together in celebrating our success, taking collective responsibility, and moving forwards.

  • Friendship

    No man is an island, and no product stands alone. We build communities around our products and see our users and customers as integral to those communities. Ultimately, if those communities start to feel like a group of friends, we’re doing it right.

  • Growth

    We believe that satisfying work comes from challenging yourself and being challenged by others. We value people who are always eager to learn and grow with the company, who seek out new opportunities. We love it when our customers challenge us to grow. And we make sure we never become too busy sawing to take time to sharpen the saw.

  • Elegance

    Great products and processes should look and feel elegant. We apply this to the products we make, our own internal processes and interaction with others. Our products elegantly solve our customers problems.

  • Openness

    We know the value that candour can bring to creative endeavours, and we know it isn’t always easy. We help to share feedback our users, customers and colleagues and treat them with the respect. We treat everyone as an equal, and do not tolerate prejudice.

  • Objective

    People should be treated fairly and based on merit. To do this we set clear objectives and key results for the company, teams and individuals. Objectives should be objective, and whilst not everything that can be counted counts (and not everything that counts can be counted), using data and evidence-based decisions helps us navigate a true path.

Approach

We work hard to understand our customers’ industries and to speak their language, but we know that we will never know their world as well as they do.

We work closely in partnership with the people who know those industries best. This creates a winning combination of our love for technology with their deep industry insight, and that perfect fit can be seen in the work we do. We think the best ideas often come from the people who know the problems first-hand, who are closest to the action. We are always listening for where there are pain points, and looking to see if technology could help. If you work in the front line in healthcare or education and think you have an idea where a great mobile application could be a game-changer for the way you and your colleagues work then please contact us – we’d love to talk further.

There is only so far you can take things from the comfort of your computer. So we get working prototypes into the hands of front-line staff as quickly as possible, and then polish and refine ruthlessly based on their feedback.

We’re geeks at heart, we love technology and everything it can do. But we don’t expect our users to be. We see our job as understanding everything that technology can do through the eyes of the user who just wants the technology to get out the way and help them do their job. This often involves being pragmatic and choosing the most sensible technology for the job – we’re fine with skipping the bleeding edge and choosing something that is proven to work if that gets the best results for our users. But it can also involve making the latest technology simple and accessible for everyone too.

Customers and Industries

As part of our mission to use technology for societal good, our aim is to serve industries that have the greatest benefit to people and society as a whole. Therefore, we focus on solutions the following industries:

Healthcare

Doctors, nurses and other carers look after us at our sickest. We build the technology to make their lives simpler and easier, so they can focus on their patients.

Education

Teachers and those supporting them can help shape the next generation, but need great technology to help those children thrive.

Charity / third sector

Charities across the world take on some of the toughest challenges in society, and deserve the technology to support this work.

Rehabilitation and reform

We believe that people deserve a second chance, and that prison should be for rehabilitation, not just punishment.

In the longer term, we aim to work on products that can offer societal good across any and all industries.

Our Products

We build, sell and support our products ourselves.

We’ve been excited about the possibility of smartphones and tablets since the first iPhone burst on to the scene over a decade ago (one of us might even have gone to New York just to get one early), and still believe that for the right problems, mobile applications can stand head and shoulders above desktop or pure web equivalents.

Inherently mobile, where being able to use technology on the go is vital.

Live, where instant access to information (including instant notifications) are valuable.

Visual, benefiting from users being able to take pictures and videos.

Spread across locations, where geolocation can help (including as a data source).

Complicated, but capable of being broken down into simple, focussed steps for users.

Require interaction with physical assets, through technology like NFC, QR codes or Bluetooth.

Involve a wide variety of users, who are not necessarily technology experts but need to adopt the technology quickly and easily.

Generally requiring access to data or simple data entry, rather than heavy data entry from the user (a keyboard and mouse still wins out for those problems).

Mobile-first doesn’t mean exclusively mobile, and we make the best use of web-based software where that makes sense for our users. We can’t see ourselves doing desktop applications any time soon, but never say never.
