Sandbox: A Pint-Sized Powerhouse

|

Born out of need, driven by real-world customer demands and innovation, Sandbox understands that every client has an individual approach to business that makes them uniquely competitive. The Sandbox platform is a collection of tools that allow them to build each client their own custom technology environment. Canvas, Templates, Event Workflow, Sequences and Reports are configured to match the precise daily operations of each unique team. Sandbox has become a disruptor of traditional ERP and custom development, with its business model of “no implementation fees or long-term commitments”. They believe it’s essential for companies to start developing a digital strategy and understanding how they can digitize and automate, so they removed barriers that were stopping them.

With Sandbox, the team offers the best of both worlds. The majority of Sandbox customers have an underlying understanding of what they need, but find traditional software cumbersome and inflated for their purposes. They give their customers what they want and only what they want. Knowing that every environment is unique, and every customer is unique, no matter the industry. The Sandbox team is a pint-sized powerhouse. Leveraging their own principles and technology to create a fun, stress-free environment for the team to conduct business. The name Sandbox is playful and embraces creativity. If you can picture a sandbox with a shovel, rakes and some moulds, the outcome of what could be created is based on the passion, energy and creativity of the people within the sandbox. This is the working environment and culture their employees enjoy and recreate with their customers. Everything the team does has a playful side to it, making business more exciting and welcoming to all. In true Sandbox style, they created a mock video game trailer to capture a typical customer journey - solving business challenges with creativity, unexpected, and elegant solutions. https://youtu.be/-o0tshJMHRU
