We're pleased to announce that Capsule is an approved CRM vendor in the UK government’s Help to Grow: Digital Scheme. The UK-wide scheme aims to help small and medium size businesses (SMEs) to grow by giving up to 50% discount on approved software products as well as free, impartial advice.
Duncan Stockdill, Founder & CEO at Capsule, said: "We’re pleased to make Capsule available through the Help to Grow: Digital scheme. The last few years have significantly changed working practices. Businesses now have to be flexible across home and office while still having clear visibility into what’s happening on a day-to-day basis. The software that’s available through the Help to Grow: Digital Scheme, such as Capsule can help businesses achieve this, whilst also providing the tools to increase productivity and growth."
By incentivising the adoption of digital technology, the government hopes to help businesses adopt digital technology that’s proven to increase productivity and profits, and help businesses become more resilient in the future.
The scheme will also offer SMEs advice on how technology can help their business. A new online hub will help businesses identify their technology needs, assess purchasing options and advise on how to implement new technology in their operations.
For eligible UK-based businesses who are interested in trying out Capsule, the Help to Grow: Digital scheme will give you a voucher to cover 50% of the costs.
