30 years of technology decisions
Navigating every major technology change since 1994.
Worthwhile started as a custom software development company over 30 years ago. We built the first streaming radio service in the Southeast and an e-commerce mall before Amazon through the web era, field and customer-facing apps as mobile arrived, and migrated legacy systems off servers as clients moved to the cloud.
Somewhere in there, the questions changed. Clients stopped asking what we could build and started asking what they should build. The ones who came to us after choosing a system were always harder to help than the ones who came before, and we kept meeting both.
So we moved upstream. In 2020 we started selling the decision work on its own, which became Pathfinder.
We still build. The difference is that the advice comes from people who have shipped software and then watched it get used, which is why a recommendation from us accounts for what a system costs to live with, not just what it costs to buy.
Explore PathfinderA company built on purpose
Our founder chose the name before he knew what the company would become. At a Broadway show in New York, he saw a mention of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Really Useful Group” and thought: I want to build a company with purpose.
A few years later, that purpose became clear.
The tool is the small part
Technology decisions are often looked at as strictly tool decisions, but the tool is a small part of it. The ones that work start with a careful look at where you are now and where you need to be. Then we work out what it takes to get your systems and your people where the business needs them. The data, the integrations, the workflows, and the processes, all of it working together to make the business run.
We put the people who have built these systems in the room with you. Decades of that work is how they know what a platform costs to maintain three years in, which integrations break first, and what a rollout looks like when it is market ready.
