About Us

We weren't born with a passion to create great software, that's not a thing you're born with. What we love is simplifying things and letting people do their everyday tasks in the most effective way possible. We love life. We're explorers and adventurers and believe in a career that enables personal freedom and relationships.

 

We care about UI/UX design and aesthetics. We care about our buttons being in the right place, at the right time for the right person. We're motivated by the challenge of delivering an exceptional product that helps small businesses manage their resources and serve their customers. We work hard to make things right based on customer feedback, and we know it might take time to get it right.

We've created a stable and profitable business that serves as a lifetime solution for our customers.

We've been at it for a couple of decades, and we aren't going anywhere but up.

 


 

Our Team

A Word From Our CEO

Jon and I met at the University of Georgia where we launched our first IT and Managed Service Provider shop while still in school. That experience informed our decision to found bigWebApps, a tech firm developing custom apps.

As we faced the usual startup challenges, we stumbled upon a significant opportunity: The need to deal with all of our clients more effectively.

After realizing that other startups and small business were facing the same challenge, we pivoted into a full-service Professional Service Automation (PSA) solution, launched in 2013.

The name of our PSA solution? SherpaDesk.

Patrick Clements, SherpaDesk Founder & CEO.
