The government is offering funding of up to £5000 to UK based small and medium enterprises to buy software that will help their digital transformation journeys and make them fit for the future.

The Help to Grow website allows companies to compare approved business software and understand what technology is best suited to them and most helpful to their growth.

Livepoint, based at Whitfield Business Hub on Pensby Road, Heswall, and the company behind the CRM [Customer Relationship Management] and automated workflow platform, SwiftCase, has been chosen as one of a handful of software suppliers whose tools can make a real difference to SMEs.

Livepoint's cloud-based software allows businesses to digitise themselves swiftly and simply.

It connects to common applications such as Sage, Xero, Google, Mailchimp, Dropbox, and industry-specific software.

Business owners can customise and build workflows to suit what they do, without the need for any coding or technical knowledge. Automated workflows give businesses greater capacity, more time, efficiency and information crucial to management.

Livepoint director, Dr Adam Sykes, said, "We're really pleased to be able to help UK SMEs take advantage of technology to power up their businesses through the Help to Grow: Digital initiative.

"We are looking forward to working with companies across the country to help them get the most from the available funding."

Adam's co-director, Nik Ellis, added, "With significant staff shortages in the UK right now, SwiftCase's automation not only provides a solution, but also levels up the way a business is run, helping them to scale up efficiently."
