This is how we started

Back in 2017, we recognized a growing need to integrate various enterprise applications within business messengers to automate processes on platforms where colleagues already collaborate. At that time, our scattered team, working on both common and individual projects, united with a shared vision: to focus our efforts on automating workflows for teams. This common goal brought us together, sparking our passion for developing solutions that streamline collaboration and enhance productivity across organizations.

When the iPaaS solutions market was still emerging, we envisioned creating a prototype app that seamlessly combined workflow automation with team collaboration. This vision laid the groundwork for what would become the first iteration of GroupLotse. As integration platforms gained traction, we harnessed our expertise in iPaaS and development to expand our services beyond the prototype, empowering other companies with personalized automation solutions that significantly boost their productivity.
