Impact Applications

University spin-out makes successful presentation

Impact Applications, an e-business and mobile software solutions provider, was founded in 2001 as a spin-out from Wolverhampton University and is based at the Wolverhampton Science Park. The company designs, develops and supports enterprise software applications for business with an emphasis on mobile data solutions. The company’s aim is to provide services in complex areas that ensure users can focus upon their core business rather than the “back-office” systems that are so necessary to complete a task.

It presented to an audience of investors at Venturefest in June 2007 and, less than three months later, successfully raised £150,000. The funding provided the opportunity for the company to develop its offering in five key areas:

• impactRESPONSE – efficient handling of social housing repairs and maintenance
• impactMANAGEMENT – a fully-managed service for repairs and maintenance
• impactCOMMERCE – an “out of the box” e-commerce turnkey solution for any business
• impactRECRUITER – a recruitment agency management application
• syncwiseMOBILE – aimed at small companies without IT infrastructure to help them share vital business information in real time using everyday technology.

As Managing Director Martin Taylor says: “Venturefest was an extremely well-organised and well-run event that proved to be of vast importance for our future development.”
