Upmind originally began development as in-house software for a large web hosting group run by one of our founders, Seb. It was imagined as internal software to co-ordinate billing and management throughout a number of different brands and support teams.In 2017, shortly after development work started, the hosting group was sold. Unwilling to let the work so far be abandoned, Seb bought back the foundations of the Upmind software and took on the development team himself. The scope was widened, not least in turning Upmind into a SAAS platform for others to use. However the fundamental idea - an all-in-one scalable business automation platform for online service businesses - remained.
