Our Story,Status
From small beginnings to building trusted digital systems, our journey has always been driven by people, purpose, and a commitment to creating technology that makes life easier.
Established 2017
Status didn’t start as a company we started as a response to real frustration. Systems that didn’t work. Services that didn’t scale. Technology that felt too distant from the people it was meant to help.
Our story began with a simple belief: technology should make life easier, not harder. It should support humans, strengthen organisations, and open possibilities, not create new problems.
From small ideas built late at night, to larger platforms now used across organisations, our journey has been shaped by people:
the clients who trusted us early, the teams who rely on our systems daily, and the partners who challenged us to grow.
Every milestone we’ve reached comes from understanding one thing
technology only matters when it improves how people live and work.
That is the heart of our history, and the reason we continue to evolve.
