Background & Challenges

Background:

Buckinghamshire Business First (BBF) is an organisation that supports new, established, and growing businesses across Buckinghamshire.

  • Survey Management: Complexities in survey creation and integration with existing systems (ClickDimensions) hindered efficient data collection and analysis.
  • COVID-19 Grant Management: Overwhelming response to COVID-19 grants necessitated enhanced system functionality for managing grant applications and allocations.

Pragmatiq conducted a detailed analysis of BBF’s needs, consulting with key stakeholders to ensure the solutions would address all of their challenges effectively for optimal operation efficiency.
