PXtech

Workforce software for hospitality businesses and a tablet tool for charities are the two areas this company describes. PXtech is a software business making digital products for hospitality, retail and charity organisations. The firm says it is now fully owned by its employees, and its focus lies in web-based systems and business intelligence, largely built on Microsoft technologies, including the .NET stack.

Workforce engagement for hospitality

The firm's hospitality product gives restaurant and hotel operators real-time data on their workforce. Managers can monitor staff productivity, plan more productive schedules and keep track of what is happening in the restaurant. The firm says organisations with engaged workforces are more profitable than those without, and it presents its tools as a way to get more from employees.

Wil-U for charities

Wil-U is a tablet-based solution for charities. The firm says it makes it easier for charity retailers to sell items, raise Gift Aid revenue and stay in contact with the people who support them and give their time, at a cost it describes as more affordable than alternatives.

Business intelligence and reporting

The firm builds business intelligence systems that give operators reporting and data tools. It describes its technical approach as pushing the boundaries of what the available technologies can do for customers, with a focus on web-based systems and the Microsoft stack.

Scale of operation

According to the firm, its software is in use at well over 40,000 trading sites on six continents, handling more than eight million transactions each day. It describes its operation as a fast-growing IT solutions business whose customers include some well-known brands in the hospitality, retail and charity sectors.

Support and people

The firm offers onsite and help desk services, along with project management and staff training in customer empathy. It says its people are central to its success, and that it invests in supporting employees to develop their skills.
