25 YEARS OF GOLD-VISION

Thank you.
Really.

Twenty-five years is a long time in any industry.

We wouldn't still be here without the businesses who trusted us — many of you from the very early days.

See how far we’ve come
2001
DAY ONE

Esteiro opens its doors

September 2001. A handful of people with big consultancy experience decide to do something different, bringing that expertise to businesses who need it, at a price that actually makes sense, with a team you can actually call.

2004

Gold-Vision CRM is born

We build our own CRM because we know exactly what businesses actually need from one. Version one goes live. It's on premises, it works, and customers love it. The Gold-Vision name sticks.

2005

Gold-Vision CRM .NET

We rewrite Gold-Vision from the ground up in .NET, giving the product a modern, stable foundation to build on. It's the platform that everything since has grown from.

2008

Dashboarding that beats Excel

We build proper dashboards straight into Gold-Vision, giving teams live charts and numbers at a glance. No more exporting to spreadsheets and wrestling with pivot tables to see how things are going.

2009

Native events management in CRM

Event management arrives built right into the CRM, not bolted on. Seminars, bookings and attendees all live alongside your customer data, so nothing falls through the cracks.

2010

We move into the cloud

Gold-Vision goes SaaS. E-marketing, lead management and better dashboards arrive as we move online, giving smaller teams the kind of capability once reserved for big enterprises.

2012
GROWING UP

The team grows up

Real departments, more customers and proper structure take shape as we grow. Still the same people you can ring up and talk to, though, which was always the point.

2015
MORE FEATURES

Events and marketing automation mature

Gold-Vision 7 grows fast, with Eventbrite integration, smarter follow-up campaign stages and richer dashboards. The event and marketing tools become properly powerful for busy teams.

2018

Gold-Vision version 8

This one's a proper milestone. Version 8 means you can configure Gold-Vision to work the way your business works, not the other way round. Deep integrations, real flexibility. This is when the product really comes of age.

2020
ADAPTING FAST

We go hybrid and head to Canada

COVID changes everything, and we adapt quickly for ourselves and for our customers. We also open our Toronto office, meaning Gold-Vision is now properly serving businesses on both sides of the Atlantic.

2021
NEW FEATURE

Time tracking built in as standard

Gold-Vision gains fully integrated time tracking as standard, so teams can log and report on time against their work without bolting on yet another separate tool.

2021
NEW FEATURE

Your day at a glance

Our brand-new Home Page gives every user a single view of their day, with activities, appointments and notices all available from one central location.

2022
NEW FEATURE

Loqate email validation arrives

A new Loqate integration improves email delivery rates and sender reputation, and Modern Authentication (OAuth 2.0) for Office 365 and Gmail keeps everyone secure and connected.

2022
RECOGNITION

Recognised on Capterra's Shortlist

Gold-Vision is named an 'Emerging Favourite' on Capterra's Online CRM Shortlist and picks up four new Gartner badges, independent proof that customers rate what we do.

2023
NEW FEATURE

Dashboard Management lands

We launch Dashboard Management so teams can edit, duplicate and share dashboards, giving everyone a clearer, more flexible view of the numbers that matter to them.

2023
NEW PLATFORM

The Knowledge Hub opens

Our brand-new learning platform launches through the Help Site, packed with courses that help new and existing users get to grips with Gold-Vision modules and features.

2024
NEW INTERFACE

A fresh new interface

Every CRM screen gets a modern refresh, with a new App Switcher for quick access to your apps and updated menus, keeping Gold-Vision feeling current and easy to use.

2024
NEW INTEGRATION

ZoomInfo and engagement scoring

A ZoomInfo integration lets you build accounts, contacts and leads in a couple of clicks, while engagement scoring helps sales know exactly when to pick up the phone.

2024

We join the Volaris Software Group

Gold-Vision is acquired by Volaris, a multinational, buy and hold software group based in Canada. We stay independent. We still make our own decisions. But now you know we're not going anywhere. That peace of mind matters.

2025

Fuse: one engine, endless integrations

We unveil Fuse, connecting Gold-Vision to tools like Asana, Mailchimp and Jira. It kills data silos, cuts manual work and helps teams collaborate without switching between systems.

2025

A new partner referral program

We launch a Partner Referral Program that rewards consultants, customers and tech pros for sharing Gold-Vision, with easy onboarding and real opportunities to grow their network.

2025

Awards across the board

Capterra, GetApp and Software Advice all recognise Gold-Vision in 2025 for usability, customisation and standout support, five years running as a Frontrunner and Category Leader.

2026
RIGHT NOW

Northampton and living with AI

We move to central Northampton's Vulcan Works, and after eighteen months using AI inside our own business, we start helping customers get real, practical value from it.

2026

25 years, new look, looking forward

Twenty-five years in, we refresh the brand to match how much we've grown. Same expertise, same team you can call, new capabilities and a clear eye on where CRM heads next.

Nothing about the way we work with customers is changing. You’ll still have a dedicated account manager. You’ll still be able to reach someone who knows your business. That’s not a brand promise — it’s just how we work.

Over 25 years of CRM implementation, automation and process work. We know what makes these projects succeed (and what makes them fail). That kind of experience isn’t something you can buy off a shelf.

A lot of businesses want to move on AI but aren’t sure where to start — or how to do it without blowing the budget. We’ve built something that helps with exactly that, and we know how to make it work in practice, not just in theory.

Being part of Volaris means you don’t have to worry about us getting acquired by someone who doesn’t understand the product, or disappearing overnight. They buy businesses and keep them. We like that.

1

Faster delivery of integrations and custom work

We're using AI in our own engineering work to deliver integrations, portals and custom applications much faster than we used to. That's a real benefit to you — less waiting, lower cost, same quality of thinking behind it.

2

Broader product — built around what you actually need

We're working on more focused capabilities in areas like field services, quoting and event management. But we want to get this right, which means we want to hear from you before we build, not after.

If your business has needs in these areas, please talk to us. These are exactly the conversations that shape our roadmap.

3

Helping you get real results from AI — not just the hype

There's a lot of noise around AI right now. We're focused on the practical side — helping you automate the right things, integrate sensibly, and actually see the return. We've done this work ourselves, so we know what good looks like.

Predictable costs. Real outcomes. No surprises.

4

Protecting your data to a proven, independently audited standard

Everything we build and store is backed by ISO 27001 certification — an independently audited standard for information security management. It means your data is handled to a proven, accountable standard, not just a policy on paper.

5

Keeping you up and running, with no exceptions and no excuses

Everything we deliver runs on 100% redundant data centre infrastructure — so there's no single point of failure behind your integrations, portals or custom applications.

Built by people who've been doing this for 25 years, it's reliability you don't have to think about, because we already have.

The people behind the expertise

One of the things our customers tell us they value most is knowing they can pick up the phone and reach the right person.
Here's who that is, depending on what's on your mind.

We're always happy to talk. Got a question, or just want to say hello? We're one call or email away.
