Etellect – described as a pioneer in “autobot” technology – counts companies including Babcock Rail and law firm Pinsent Masons among its clients and said the move marked the first phase of a national expansion strategy.
The company’s software can bring together functions such as inventory management, sales order processing, payments, account management and communications in a single “dashboard”. Its east coast office will focus on developing mobile suites to support its EAutomate product.

Russell – a graduate in IT from the University of Edinburgh – said: “This is a great opportunity to establish a physical presence in the east of the country and particularly in proximity to Edinburgh University, which produces a wealth of software development talent each year.
“We will be concentrating on developing mobile suites to support Etellect’s EAutomate product and customising client apps based on Etellect’s core technology.”
