Business planning is simpler than ever using Empiraa. As a business planning and execution tool, you will feel secure in knowing your plans are on the way to turning your goals into reality. Too often business plans are kept to the Founders, CEO and Executive teams and often don’t come off static documents or shared with the rest of the business. Now there is a dynamic tool that engages the whole team and has your people backing the journey to help reach your business goals. Empiraa uses real-time data, enhanced by API technology to streamline live data into your plan. You can see at any point how people are progressing towards their objectives, contributing to your company’s pillars. Address concerns before they get out of hand and pivot when you need to. It’s all about being flexible and collaborative. At the end of the day, Empiraa is on a mission to help you feel good about business. We believe this is achieved by clearly understanding where you are going. So let’s increase productivity, improve culture and give your people a ‘why’.

Empiraa's answer
Empiraa provides a simple solution to not only planning out your business direction but executing those goals. It is accessible to everyone, with no fancy jargon and takes only minutes to implement. As the first business planning and execution platform to utilise the power of AI and API integration, it is easier than ever to turn your goals into reality.
Loach's answer:
Growing your Start-up or Scale-up is all about execution. OKRs help you set the direction, but Loach enables you to connect daily work with those overarching goals. With Loach, every employee knows exactly what they need to do to help the company move forward and leadership knows exactly what people are doing to help move the company forward. A win-win for everyone.
Empiraa's answer
Other platforms have overly complex solutions, not suited to small to medium business and startups. Empiraa gives you the information you need and does that well.
Loach's answer:
Loach is the only solution that focuses on helping startups and scale-ups be successful with OKRs. Loach aims to be simple yet powerful to help your employees work on the things that move the company forward.

Empiraa's answer
For years, Ash Brown observed businesses talking a lot about strategy. But it never really got off the ground or out of a spreadsheet. He looked for resources to help him, but they were too convoluted or didn't suit the purpose. Like most things, he started with, "There has to be a better way."
Everything Ash found was expensive with little value on return. He kept thinking, "If we aren't paying anything to not do strategy, how are people asking for massive amounts of money to not follow through on the strategic execution?" It made no sense.
A self-professed "I'm not a smart man," Ash knew that keeping it simple was important.
And so, Empiraa was founded. Empiraa is designed with a simple user interface, to be user-friendly and engaging. It provides an intuitive business planning solution for SMBs and rapidly scaling startups. Simplify complex business planning into manageable steps and fast-track your success.
Loach's answer:
Hi, I'm Frank Smit, Founder of Loach and previous COO of a SaaS company (OBI4wan), which I helped grow from 300K to 10M EUR in revenue and 5 to 75 employees in 6 years.
We used OKRs to set the direction of our company.
However, I learned that setting goals alone is not enough. Our employees simply forgot about our OKRs.
We set up a process where all employees would know what they need to do each week to help move the company forward.
However, tracking all goals and initiatives became impossible without a proper solution, and I didn't find any in the market that focussed on connecting daily work to quarterly goals.
So, I decided to create Loach!
Loach is the tool I wish I had back in the OBI4wan days.
