The beginnings

Where it started.
Our parent company, Cleversteam, was founded to build large-scale, custom CRM systems for companies offering Summer Work and Travel programs around the world. Our vision was to build high-quality business systems that would allow companies to scale their exchange programs.

Concept

Developing within the industry.
Building on our experience in international exchange, many of companies we encountered were trying to run their complex programs using spreadsheets, shared folders and email. It was clear that an out-of-the-box CRM system would help these companies to simplify, automate and grow.
This led to the concept for Hanover, a system that would simplify and automate the complicated process of international exchange across all of the different program types.
