Hi there 👋 We're Stotles.
Our mission is to unlock the potential of business and government working better, together. We'd love for you to join us on our journey.

Our SaaS platform gives businesses a clear view of opportunities to work with the public sector, and the tools needed to manage them. We’re bringing together a massive amount of messy government data to bring clarity and transparency to a space that desperately needs it.
We've seen fantastic traction from industry leading customers such as Salesforce, Vodafone, Microsoft, Civica and others.
