Our Story

At Hindsight Software our mission is to empower businesses to streamline their operations and enhance efficiency and accuracy, through transformative software solutions. We strive to be a trusted partner for our clients, delivering exceptional value through innovative technologies.

As our name suggests, we learn from experience and over our 10+ years of service to our customers, we discovered a common pain point, compliance documentation. And thus, Coauthor was born. Working closely, with a regulatory compliance expert, Dr Heather Carre-Skinner, we have developed a compliance assistant purpose-built for SaMD.
