WHY WE CREATED PODDLE
Empowering Local Businesses to Compete and Grow
We’re a team that has spent years confronting the challenges high street and town centre businesses face firsthand. That’s why we created poddle—to give local shops, cafes, salons, and all high street businesses the tools they need to build stronger customer relationships, grow sales, and stay competitive—all without the complexity or high costs of big-business systems.

OUR STORY
Why We Built poddle
poddle was born from a frustration shared by thousands of local businesses: the lack of an easy, affordable way to collect customer details, keep them engaged, and drive sales when customers aren’t there in-store. As former high street workers, we saw firsthand how small shops, cafes, salons, and other high street businesses were losing out simply because they didn’t have the tools big businesses use. We knew something had to change—so we set out to build a simple, yet powerful CRM system that would level the playing field for local businesses, empowering them to succeed without the complexity or cost.
OUR MISSON

With poddle, we bring the same tools that big businesses use to your fingertips, helping you succeed—one tap at a time..
