From his kitchen table (and the day before his wedding) Tim sets up Zylpha Ltd, a consultancy to help law firms get the most from their SolCase & Visualfiles systems.

The next door neighbour designs the logo which is an interration of the letter 'Z' in hebrew.

Frettens become the first client in January 2005 (and still remain as active clients).

Callcredit an AML search provider becomes the first official 'product' for Zylpha. With the integration making it easier to get search data back into SolCase & Visualfiles from the results.

With home information packs required for all England & Wales conveyancing transactions, Zylpha is enlisted to help write a product that would make the process easier.

Built directly into SolCase & Visualfiles, it made it easier for users to create a single PDF with a front cover, hyperlinked index and multiple documents.

As recession bites deep into the UK economy, interest diminishes Visualfiles consultancy as law firms tighten the purse strings.

Clients who use the Home Information Pack software from Zylpha, feedback that they are now using it in other departments to help create electronic Court bundles.

The London Borough of Lambeth Council become the first Zylpha client to purchase the software specifically for Court bundles, and are still clients today.

Coming out of the recession (and the end of home information packs) - Zylpha launches it's first standalone piece of Court bundle software for PC.

As a business with deep-rooted knowledge of how case management systems work, the software becomes a hit because it can be integrated with multiple systems.

Over the following years, SOS, Peppermint, NetDocuments and iManage all integrate into the software.

The business moves to a new office just outside of Southampton, department sizes increase to manage demand and the business celebrates it's 10 year birthday.

October 2018 sees the official launch of the new Zylpha Court bundling software. Rebuilt from the ground up, this new release combines desktop software and cloud computer processing to make bundling faster than ever.

A launch event is held at Churchill War Rooms, with attendees from partners and clients.

With our first event being such a success 'Zylphapalooza' is launched to showcase all the new features and enhancements added to the Court bundling software.

At this event at the Imperial War Museum, new consumption based pricing is launched as well as unveiling our new way to convert files using Azure (reducing the burden on internal IT infrastructure).

Weeks before the next 'Zylphapalooza' event, the UK enters lockdown as part of COVID safety measures.

Zylpha PAYG Court bundling demand soars as legal teams rush to provide systems for staff now being forced to work from home.

Whilst the feedback is positive, there are challenges with delivering installed software at scale to thousands of new clients globally.

In November, Zylpha launches their online Court bundling service completely for free (a first of it's kind). Built & designed completely with self-service in mind, everything is paired back to make it as easy as possible.

Thousands of users sign up in the first year many of them litigants in person, who are representing themselves.

The business continues to invest heavily in the online Court bundling software platform, with new features released monthly, ranging from additional numbering styles to different subscription plans.

Zylpha also adopts the ISO27001 standard an essential framework for managing information security risks.

In 2025, Zylpha evolves away from just providing electronic Court bundling software to also include PDF editing & secure sharing. The idea being that you shouldn't need two or three pieces of software to create your Court bundle.

The company continues to release monthly product updates with new features and enhancements.

Finally, Tim Long, CEO also celebrates a major birthday, and is forced to take the day off and become an Animal Safari Keeper for the red pandas.
