Who we are and what is important to us:
Beyond unifies three technology-driven brands, Wonde, Evouchers and Secure Schools.
Each brand shares a vision to reduce the friction of adapting technology, to help customers navigate an often overwhelming area and provide powerful solutions that make their everyday life easier.
The three brands run independently with the autonomy to continue to prosper although as part of the Beyond team, you’ll join a wider, supportive environment where you’ll be able to pull on the expertise and capabilities of the group.
We do not limit ourselves to standing still. We look ahead and strive to disrupt the sector we operate in. We believe technology should not be complicated or overwhelming. It should do what it says - quickly, safely and efficiently.
Who Evouchers is:
At Evouchers, we're passionate about making it easier for organisations to deliver financial support to the people who need it most. We work with local authorities, housing associations, schools, charities and other organisations to simplify the way support is managed and distributed.
Our products are designed to remove administrative complexity, improve efficiency and provide a better experience for both organisations and the people they support.
Evouchers is our digital voucher platform, enabling organisations to securely distribute support for free school meals, Household Support Fund schemes, energy support, household essentials and a wide range of other welfare programmes.
FundingConnect is our end-to-end grant management platform, helping organisations manage every stage of a funding programme—from applications and eligibility assessments through to award management, reporting and insight—all within one secure, configurable system.
Together, our platforms help organisations deliver support more efficiently, make informed decisions and maximise their impact in the communities they serve. As we continue to grow, we're committed to developing technology that solves real-world challenges and makes a meaningful difference.
