We Get Sold Bells and Whistles

Whether you are buying or building software, chasing shiny tools and forgetting core business needs is easy.

We’ve all been there—starting with good intentions but veering off course, overwhelmed by the sea of possibilities.

At Peoplevox, we built bespoke solutions for big-name clients who didn’t fit our ideal customer profile. One custom bulk-picking method project was a technical success but a business flop—months of effort for no long-term value.

You pay for 100% of the software but you only need 20%

The real lesson? Align with vendors who share your vision and focus on scalable, universal solutions that solve problems you share with other businesses.

The Power of Focused Innovation

When we introduced single-item batch picking for Surfdome, it revolutionised despatch operations. A single scan triggered hands-free printing for both despatch notes and shipping labels.

The result? A 1,000X return on investment. That’s the kind of solution we love—simple, scalable, and transformative.

Your Tech Stack Shouldn’t Be a Lamborghini

Founders often think they need the "best" tools. But does your team need a Lamborghini when a bicycle (or Airtable) would do? The right fit beats overengineering every time.
