Tahola was formed in February 2000 by myself and three colleagues, Mick Deol, Simon Blackbourne and Geoff McClure. We had all held senior financial and IT positions and met whilst working for our previous employer.  Individually, we had all been providing Business Intelligence solutions for our customers or business managers in different companies for some years.  The time seemed right for Business Intelligence and so we pooled our skills and set up Tahola!

Initially, we targeted retail and hospitality companies because it was a market we all knew well.  Our customers buy from us because we understand the market in which they operate and can offer practical solutions and advice to help them increase their profits.  This is a philosophy which we all still believe in today and have applied to other industry sectors.

Mick and I believed it might be possible to develop a solution for the retail and hospitality market to reduce the time taken to implement a Business Intelligence system.  So we developed EposMart and although some fine tuning is required to meet the exact needs of each customer and the nuances of some systems, it's proved enormously successful.

EposMart was the first of many solutions we developed for markets where we have industry knowledge.  Today we also have pre-built solutions for media companies, wholesalers and motor dealers.

The business has grown steadily.  We now have two offices; a sales office in Letchworth, Hertfordshire and a support office in Long Buckby, Northamptonshire.  The team has grown too, to 10 people, most of whom are involved in implementation and support. We now offer full performance management solutions that include budgeting, forecasting and planning as well as Business Intelligence.
