App/tech business of the week ~ ImpRes People

What? ~ ImpRes People is a cloud-based platform that connects businesses with operational and project talent.

Rather than engaging with multiple professional service providers, the platform aims to bring all small-medium professional services providers together and ensure clients get the best possible resource at the best possible rate.

Where? ~ Mobile responsive website at www.imprespeople.net

Who? ~ Founders Sarah Coleman, Wes Austerberry, Duncan Munro, Matt Daley and Kate Price.

Quotation ~ “There are a lot of top professionals in Perth working independently and within small-medium consultancies. We wanted to provide a more seamless, transparent platform so clients could find the best people for the job, across WA and beyond,” Sarah Coleman said.

News/market ~ The only investment to date has been monthly subscriptions to Caspio and Wordpress and the founders’ time. The next stage of the platform is to build functionality for managing jobs once they’ve started and continue to improve the user experience.

ImpRes People are targeting a pipeline that will sustain 50 active jobs within six months. The next steps are to start funneling existing clients/jobs through the platform and to then secure a preferred supplier agreement with one of the big players in Perth. 

ImPres launched on December 5 2016 and is ranked #1 by launch date in the BNiQ Startups List.
