About AppIntent

At AppIntent, we make buying software all about "You" the buyer. Unlike other websites that try and match any buyer with any seller for a commission fee, we strive to match the right buyer with the right seller - or the seller who can best service the buyer's needs at the best price.

This is defined by our company's mission statement:

Finding You the best software at the best price.

Why AppIntent?

At AppIntent, we know that software isn’t a "One Size Fits All" model.

That is, the "best" software for one company, is not always the best fit for You and Your business.

 

Here’s an analogy that we like to use to explain:

 

Imagine you are having a dinner party with some colleagues from work, and we ask you "what is the best dish to serve for dinner?"

Sure, you might say "steak" or "pizza" or even "chicken".

However, we would argue that for a truly great dinner host, the answer depends on your guests and their food preferences.

What we mean is: if most of your guests are vegetarian, steak may not be an option, and you could waste a lot of money on expensive meat that goes uneaten.

 

The same is true for software.

 

If you choose the wrong software, you might pay a lot of money for something you or your employees never use, and isn't right for your business.

Think of AppIntent as a free consultant, to help find you the best software for your business, at the best price.

 

What is the idea behind AppIntent?

Our founder spent 5 years leading Global Growth Marketing at what is now the world's largest POS (point of sale) software provider.

This meant it was his and his team's responsibility to find retailers and restaurateurs as potential buyers or "leads" to pass over to the sales team.

At the time however, there were many reason's why a lead would not want, or not be able, to buy this company's product.

For example, at the time, the company:

• Could not sell to flower shops or pizza shops because the POS couldn't handle delivery.
• Could not sell to pet shops, or nutrition shops, as the POS didn't track expiry dates on food items.
• Could not sell to stores doing consignment (from artwork to clothing and everything in between).
• Could not sell to anyone needing weight scale (for weighing fruits and vegetables or bulk items).
• Could not sell to hardware or candy stores as they didn't support fractional quantities.
• Could not sell to gas stations as there was no gas pump integration.
• Could not sell to corner stores as there was no lottery integration.
• Could not sell to mobile sellers, like markets, fairs, or food trucks, as they needed a static IP address.
• Could not sell to Adult, Smoke, or Wine Shops that had online stores as they didn't have age verification.
• Could not sell to Massachusetts or Tennessee as they didn't support "Luxury Tax" rules.
  The list went on and on...

Now in the best case scenario, any buyer who fell into the delivery, expiry, consignment, weight scale, or other unservicable bucket - simply wasted their time on a call with a salesperson.

So all they really lost was time on the phone, or watching demos.

But in the worst case scenario, the buyer bought the product, bought the supporting hardware, installed and integrated it, trained their staff, etc. - only to find out it wasn't right for them; sometimes weeks or months later.

In this case, they potentially lost countless hours, and hundreds or even thousands of dollars, because they chose the wrong system.

 

How Does AppIntent Work?

AppIntent takes the risk and guesswork out of the software buying process.

For a potential software buyer, AppIntent does most of the legwork for you, all you need to do is:

1) search for the software you are looking to buy,
2) answer a few simple questions about how you intend to use the software,
3) provide some contact information so AppIntent can connect you with the company that fits your use case best.

 

What Does AppIntent Do?

AppIntent saves software buyers time and money by matching those buyers with the products that best suit their needs at the lowest price available.
