We started because payment systems were failing small businesses
In 2019, our founder walked into a bakery in Leeds and watched the owner manually reconcile three different payment systems at closing time. Each system had its own dashboard, its own fee structure, and its own way of reporting transactions. The entire process took ninety minutes.
That bakery owner wasn't alone. Across the UK, thousands of business owners were spending hours each week wrestling with payment infrastructure that should have been invisible. We built Ember-quartz to fix that specific problem.
