The present disclosure pertains to automated software setup. In one embodiment, a first set of entity descriptors associated with a first entity is obtained. Similar entities to the first entity are determined by comparing the first set of entity descriptors to each of a plurality of sets of entity descriptors, each associated with a particular entity that previously setup the software. The percentage of the similar entities that selected a particular software functionality requirement is determined and a set of software functionality requirements for the first entity is determined based on the percentages. A user interface is provided for selecting the plurality of possible software functionality requirements and the first set of software functionality requirements are pre-selected in the user interface. Accordingly, software setup for a new entity is automated based on the software setup selections of similar entities.
