New Wythenshawe base for growing software developer fissara

Software development firm fissara has relocated to a new office in Wythenshawe as it looks to accommodate its growing business.

The company moved its 10-strong team into The Millbrook Business Centre to support the continuing rollout of its field force management software platform – a cloud-based system allowing businesses to manage people, processes, schedules and stocks.

Since its launch, fissara has secured contracts with telecoms giants Motorola and O2, contractor AMCO Engineering and property management firm Scanlans.

Now, fissara is preparing to expand its services in the civil engineering, telecoms, utilities and facilities management markets.

The company was established in 2013 by Jon Holttum and Nick Lawford, who previously worked together developing software for the emergency services at Airwave Solutions.

Jon commented: “We decided to plant our roots firmly in Manchester because it is the UK’s hub for digital technology development.

“We need access to great people who have the right skills and experience to help us achieve the rapid growth we anticipate as we roll out our product nationwide and we believe that those people are to be found right here in Manchester.”

He continued: “fissara is creating real disruption in the operations management market by totally changing the way companies run and buy this type of software.

“It has had a strong early uptake because it is entirely adaptable to the unique needs of each individual company.”
