A BELFAST-based software firm is expecting to take on more staff in the city this year in response to turnover growth of 60 per cent.

Market-leading digital surveying software company, GoReport has seen revenue increase above £1 million for the first time in the year to March 31, according to its latest accounts, while turnover has more than doubled in the past two years.

Looking ahead the Heron Road-based firm, which employs 22 staff in the north and Britain is aiming for 100 per cent revenue growth in the current financial year as demand for its services increases.

Growth in the business is also set to directly correspond with new jobs, with GoReport "actively recruiting more talent".

GoReport CEO Anthony Walker said the business is on an upward trajectory.

“We’re enjoying a combination of growing market awareness, an increasing adoption of technology across the property sector, interest from related sectors and industries, and a drive by clients to capture more data to inform their business operations,” he said.

GoReport chairman, David Bell said expects to increase staff numbers significantly this year.

“The company is currently actively recruiting more talent and we expect to continue to add more staff in Northern Ireland and Great Britain throughout 2019."

“We’re aiming to positively disrupt the sector with tools that bring the profession in line with other data-enabled business functions, as well as delivering efficiencies to property consultancies, and the growth in new users this year demonstrates the growing demand," Mr Bell added.

GoReport software is used by building surveyors and engineers, project managers, fire safety consultants, insurance loss adjusters and many other professions who have a need to capture data easily, flexibly and generate consistent outputs quickly.
