About GatherCRM

GatherCRM is an all-in-one business operating system built for small teams and SMEs who are tired of juggling disconnected tools. It brings clients, projects, invoicing, HR, reporting and more into a single, simple platform – powerful enough to run a whole business, simple enough that teams actually use it every day.

Founded by Joe Gilbert, who spent over a decade running a certified B Corp digital agency, GatherCRM was born from first-hand frustration with the sprawl of software most small businesses rely on. The result is a genuine alternative to both bloated enterprise systems and basic single-purpose tools – comprehensive, but refreshingly easy to use.

Built in the UK and hosted on 100% renewable energy, GatherCRM is on a mission to help small businesses run everything from one place, work smarter, and get their time back.
