About
Built by someone who lived this problem from the inside.
askSOPia didn't come from a market gap analysis. It came from 30 years in business and the same frustration, over and over.

Founder & CEO, askSOPia
30 years in business · 20+ years professional services
I've been in business since 1996. For over 20 of those years, I built and scaled a professional services firm. We were good at winning work and delivering it. What we were terrible at was keeping what we learned.
Every time someone senior left, we rediscovered the same problems. Decisions were re-debated. Processes had to be re-explained. New people learned by trial and error instead of from a system.
I tried every solution available — wikis, SOP tools, knowledge management platforms. None of them worked because they all assume the same thing: that busy people will stop working and start documenting.
askSOPia is the system I needed and didn't have. It captures knowledge from real work — meetings, documents, conversations — without anyone having to stop what they're doing.
We built it in partnership with real organisations — tax advisory firms, manufacturers, healthcare providers — solving real knowledge challenges in real environments. Not in a lab.
Built with industry leaders
askSOPia wasn't built for a generic market. It was co-developed with organisations that had the problem most acutely — tax advisory firms with decades of partner-level knowledge, manufacturers with critical process know-how on the factory floor, and healthcare providers who depend on consistent operations regardless of staffing.
