#tlyfe is part of the #Openflo tool. This arguably disruptive onboarding tool provides the quickest onboarding solutions for tenants and it's incredibly exciting to see how it goes.

#tlyfe is described as 'seamlessly connecting consumer, agents and suppliers on one single platform' having already established the necessary partnerships with Yoti, Alto CRM and Inventory Base to name a couple.

In the podcast Adam Pigott explains why they have waited to get an almost perfect product rather than drip feed and add to a vp.

#tlyfe is the main focus of this podcast, but Adam's background is equally interesting and maybe a lot of people don't know the full extent of how successful he's been.
