Why we started.
Plenty of everyday work still runs on paper, notebooks and workarounds.
Some of it has never been given proper software. Some of it has, but the software was built by people who've never done the job, so it ends up slower than the paper it was meant to replace.
We started Avela to fix those simple, dated problems properly, with software built around how the work is actually done.
Why Avela
Healthy things grow without being held back.
We chose a name that feels alive because that's what we do: clear away the paperwork and old habits that slow a business down, so it has room to grow.
How we work.
Built for a busy day.
If it's slower than the paper it replaces, nobody will use it. So everything we make has to be quick to pick up.
Tried in real venues.
Our apps are used in real venues before they are released more widely.
Cut the paper and the waste.
Every paper process we replace is one less pile to print, file and throw away.
Fair prices, no long contracts.
Independent businesses don't have chain budgets, and we price with that in mind. Our apps don't tie you into long contracts, and custom builds start from £899.
Your build is yours.
When we build something for your business, you own it.
We stay on after launch.
Once a custom build goes live, we're still there to fix and improve it.
Where we're going.
Hospitality first, then other industries. Our own apps that any business can start using, and custom builds for businesses with their own brief.
