About Aroha Technologies
Michael Arrington, founder and co-editor of Tech Crunch once famously said that ‘The best startups generally come from somebody needing to scratch an itch’.
Quite true to the thought, Aroha Technologies Inc was launched in 2008 in Florida. While we began our journey with a powerful Staffing Specialist & Software Development, Today our procedure has amplified into a more robust and simplified solution for Marketers looking for consistent and long term.
In our quest to do better, we resolve to simplify user acquisition, retention, engagement and large Business without blinking an eyelid! A semi-remote team spread across the globe, we are here to help you one step at a time.
Unmatchable growing excellence When AROHA was formed, we interviewed many potential clients and business colleagues and asked what a single important question seemed: “If you could design a firm to meet your needs, what would it look like?” The answers to that question have guided our thinking and planning on an ongoing basis, and form the core of our thinking about how we treat our clients and our employees, whom we call associates.
At a most basic level, we have stated our mission in a promise to our clients and our associates: “Unmatchable growing excellence.” This alignment governs superior service to our customers and supports our associates who perform that work, which cannot be matched by our competitors.
In short, we believe that care of our associates, disciplined financial management, and constant attention to the fundamentals of good delivery adds up to a successful, scalable business.
