Your Guide to Navigating Business Software
The Cambridge Software Guide helps small and medium-sized businesses understand their operational challenges and discover practical solutions that actually work.
Our Mission
Every day, thousands of businesses struggle with the same challenges: spreadsheets that have grown out of control, information scattered across disconnected systems, and processes that rely too heavily on individual knowledge rather than proper documentation.
These aren't just inconveniences—they're genuine barriers to growth. They cost time, create errors, and prevent businesses from operating as efficiently as they could.
We created The Cambridge Software Guide to help businesses recognise these challenges and understand what's possible. Our diagnostic tools provide honest assessments and practical recommendations, drawing on real-world experience of what works for SMEs.
The Cambridge Software Guide is a project of Kinabase, a technology company founded in Cambridge, specialising on helping businesses improve systems and adopt AI. Today, we operate from offices in Cambridge, UK and New York, USA.
Having supported over 300 businesses globally, our team combines deep technical expertise with practical business experience, allowing us to build tools that are both sophisticated and genuinely useful.
