About Us

In the increasingly complex world of information management, library workflows and knowledge management, one word sums up what we aim to achieve for our clients; simplicity.
We aim to provide librarians and knowledge managers with feature rich applications which are inherently simple to learn, intuitive and easy to use and can be implemented without in-house IT expertise.
Soutron has been developing and supplying systems to librarians and information professionals since 1989, and is the longest serving software supplier to special libraries in the UK market today. This pedigree, along with our corporate reach means we can deliver and support global systems for global businesses.

Meet your Soutron team
Soutron remains a private limited company which allows us to deliver value exclusively to clients rather than driving up profits for shareholders. We value our independence because it gives us the freedom to:
put our passion for library automation ahead of profits
focus 100% on our clients' needs
look to the long term free from short term obligations to shareholders
As a client, Soutron's independence means that you have the opportunity to influence our priorities. We don't think you'll find a better approach to ensuring your satisfaction anywhere else.
"I must say that it is a pleasure working with this new tool. Especially now that I work with two screens. That allows me to have the database open and available all day long... but I wanted to add that the human side of our working relationship with Graham and the rest of the Soutron team is absolutely fantastic."
