NearPad

NearPad is a developer of IDO platforms. The job it does: building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

The natural audience is companies with a specific process to automate. As a small company team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

NearPad is based in San Francisco, California. Their site is nearpad.io.

If you have worked with NearPad, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
