Fintrano wins first award at SME MK and Buckinghamshire business awards

Last week, the SME MK and Buckinghamshire Business Awards recognised the achievements of a host of small to medium enterprises from across the region. Amongst them was Fintrano, based in Milton Keynes. 

Founded a little over a year ago, Fintrano was a finalist in the ‘Innovation’ category and was ultimately awarded the Silver Award for their app that helps trades and mobile service businesses to elevate their customer services with no extra work. 

Fintrano helps mobile businesses by automatically keeping their customers in the loop, with appointment confirmations and automatic reminders by SMS. It also alerts the customer when their company is on the way, providing an Uber-style link to track the company to the door.  

The Innovation category is for ‘those creating a brand-new product’ or for ‘those doing something new, different, smarter or better to make positive difference’, so it’s easy to see how Fintrano qualified. 

Iain Row, the entrepreneur behind Fintrano says: “I’m very proud we managed to get to ‘award winning’ status after just one year of operation. It’s really a reflection of the way our users treat their customers. Fintrano only works for good companies and I’m proud that it is an important part of the way those companies deliver excellent customer service.” 

“The product is a great alternative to existing software that is built for mobile service businesses and tradespeople. Competing software just doesn’t have the same focus on customer service, and this award highlights where we are different.” 

As a UK based business, with the technical expertise of the established software company Prominent Media Ltd, Fintrano’s simple software and app solution is well placed for growth in B2B tech for trades and mobile service business.
