We’re looking forward to sharing more with the unSeminary community!

We're excited to share that Intulse has a new home!

After six wonderful years in our previous office, it was time for a little more room to grow. We're incredibly thankful for the memories we made there and for everyone who has been part of our journey.

You'll now find us just down the road off Centerville Road. This move marks an exciting new chapter for our team, and we can't wait to continue building great things together while serving our customers even better.

Sometimes the best business relationships start with a simple referral.

Clean Energy Products became an Intulse client through their co-owner, the late Virgil Zook. Not long after, Virgil connected us with his brother, Victor Zook, at Esh Foods.

That introduction eventually turned into another great partnership.

For a company like Esh Foods, reliable communication is critical. With a large online presence and customers calling for support and to place orders, their team needs calls to reach the right people quickly. Intulse helps make that possible with intelligent call routing, easy call transfers, and even intercom and paging throughout their warehouse.

As we celebrate 10 years of Intulse, we’re especially thankful for clients like Virgil who believed in what we were building and were willing to tell others about us.

A referral may seem simple, but you never know the impact one introduction can have.

Thank you to everyone who has recommended Intulse over the last 10 years. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you!

Nobody wants to be the first.

Being the first customer means taking a chance. There aren’t years of success stories to look back on or hundreds of customers telling you it works.

But 10 years ago, Lancaster County Christian School trusted Intulse — and became our very first client.

After the merging of Lancaster Christian School and Living Word Academy, LCCS was operating across two campuses with older, disconnected phone systems. If someone called one campus but needed to speak with someone at the other, the call couldn't simply be transferred — they had to call a different number. LCCS needed a system that could connect both campuses and their people while still being affordable and easy for their IT team to manage.

There was also a personal connection. Our founder and CEO, Darren Hollick, graduated from Living Word Academy, and his mom was serving on the board. When the school began looking for a solution, she told them about the new company Darren was building.

LCCS gave Intulse a chance.

We built a system that connected their campuses, worked with their existing paging system, gave their IT team better visibility and management, and was fully operational by the first day of the new school year — despite a very tight timeline.

And that first opportunity became something much bigger.

Over the years, Darren's wife and other Intulse employees have worked and substituted at LCCS, and children of Intulse team members have attended the school. What started as our first customer has become a relationship we're incredibly thankful for.

As Intulse celebrates 10 years, it felt right to celebrate the organization that was willing to trust us before there were 10 years of Intulse to point to.

LCCS, thank you for being first. Thank you for believing in what we were building. And thank you for trusting us for 10 years and counting.

Sometimes the biggest opportunities don't come from a sales pitch. They come from a simple conversation.

Years ago, Keith met with his friend, John Simkins, for breakfast just to catch up. During the conversation, he shared what we were building at Intulse. John replied, "If you could build a phone system that integrates with Redtail, that would be huge for our business. We'd use it."

That conversation became our very first CRM integration.

Not long after, while Stewardship Advisors was moving away from RingCentral, they referred one of their technology partners to us. That company was eventually acquired by a much larger organization and became one of Intulse's largest clients for years. More importantly, our Redtail integration opened the door for Intulse to serve financial advisors across the country, helping us grow from a local company into a nationwide provider.

Looking back, it's clear that God was writing a much bigger story than we could see. What seemed like an ordinary breakfast meeting became the beginning of an entirely new direction for our company.

Today, our Redtail integration remains one of the most comprehensive integrations available. It became the foundation for many of the integrations we've built since, and our partnership with Stewardship Advisors continues to make us better. They've consistently challenged us to solve real-world problems for financial advisors—from helping inspire our Redtail integration to shaping innovations like Intelligent Call Routing. Their feedback and partnership have played a significant role in making Intulse what it is today.

It's a reminder that God's plans are often bigger than our own. One conversation, one relationship, and one act of faithfulness can open doors you never could have planned.

10 years ago, Luca's GM was stressed about getting phones up and running before their grand opening. Keith, still part of the Intulse family today, had a daughter who overheard the conversation and said: "You should check out my dad's company"
That tip turned into a demo, a quote, and 10 years of partnership with .
At our recent team week, we made gift baskets for the partners who've been with us the longest — and Luca made that list without a second thought.
Here's to a decade of trust, growth, and unparalleled service. Thank you, Luca.
