A cloud-based accountancy platform trusted by over 50,000 businesses.

TAP discovered that some of the simplest of bookkeeping tasks were being made highly complex and time-consuming, rife with mistakes brought about by onerous accounting software. They also found that the financial records submitted by their clients were of a basic format, often resulting in exhausting periods of administration, and subsequently costing their clients a lot of money.

Yozu was commissioned to build a redesigned bookkeeping product that was geared solely towards small business owners who were typically inexperienced bookkeepers. The deliverables requested were challenging:

• A clean yet innovative application that made bookkeeping simple
• A web-based application hosted in the cloud
• A firm emphasis on maintaining a clear and concise interface

The application would be developed using the Ruby on Rails framework and be both scalable and portable across different cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services and Rackspace.

The entire product was designed, developed, and tested in less than a year and is now deployed and marketed online as Pandle. With over 50,000 users across the world, the overwhelmingly positive feedback from customers has been the motivation to build bigger and better features within the product.

TAP now benefits from having a unique selling point within their accountancy services proposition – a cloud-based bookkeeping package tailored to their customer’s needs. Accessible as free and premium account plans, Pandle helps businesses to annually save hundreds of hours of work processing client records.

Whilst the product was intended to be solely for TAP client use only, thanks to the modular and flexible product design adding in multi-company support was added in a matter of days to enhance the overall offering.
