Thinc Selects BPA Platform for SAP Business One, Sage 200 and Sage Intacct Projects
SMEs’ hybrid technology stacks drive demand for integration and business process automation.
- (1888PressRelease) September 18, 2024 - Codeless Platforms is pleased to announce that Thinc, a leading provider of IT services to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), has selected BPA Platform to provide the integration and business process automation capabilities that its customers require for their hybrid technology stacks. Headquartered in Manchester, with further offices in the UK and Canada, the SAP and Sage partner has subsequently signed a partnership deal with Codeless Platforms.
“When we are having conversations with our customers, the core focus is growing their business or making sure their business is efficient. Our aim is to identify how we can improve the quality of data within their business and how we can remove repetitive activities so that employees can focus on adding value rather than just managing data. This aligns with what BPA Platform can deliver – the automation and centralisation of data, the removal of data duplication, and having one source of truth,” explained Richard Stathers, Operations Director, Thinc.
“Although ERPs were a one-stop shop for businesses twenty years ago, in terms of having a single solution to solve their problems, organisations have evolved. They now need point solutions to address certain needs and have moved significantly towards cloud applications. Businesses have become more receptive to exploiting that type of technology and driving value from it as APIs have become more mature. This is like the API generation.”
“As a result, many businesses now have a mixture of on-premises solutions, software developed in-house, as well as a number of external SaaS products. It's a hybrid technology world, so you need ‘glue’ to bring all these systems together to function as a single unit. BPA Platform enables us to provide that middleware between those different solutions.”
Thinc specialises in the deployment of SAP Business One, Sage 200 and Sage Intacct ERP systems, complemented by a range of managed IT and cyber security services, and so was looking for an integration platform that had a proven track record of working with each system so that all its departments could benefit from the solution.
“Although there has been an increased investment in SaaS recently, a lot of customers have invested heavily in their ERP platforms. As such, there's now a greater need for integration as businesses are looking to see how they can they leverage greater value from those investments,” said Richard.
“We looked across the market at different platforms and our heads of SAP and Sage both identified BPA Platform as a solution that we absolutely had to review. We weren't just looking at what customers required today, but what they may require in the future. BPA Platform subsequently became our platform of choice.”
“When we looked at BPA Platform and the opportunities that it presented, we thought we could take it up a level. BPA Platform is very open ended, which provides us with a great deal of opportunity - whether that's plugging into FTP transfers that customers have or integrating spreadsheets that they might be maintaining separately. We also know that some customers monitor scenarios, or they’re checking their ERP systems for certain scenarios. BPA Platform can automatically provide them with notifications when those occur.”
“BPA Platform also provides a lot of established integrations for the mainstream platforms and ERP systems, which is extremely important. It has been in the market for some time, so it has stability and a good reputation. If we're suggesting solutions to our customers then it's essential that they are solid and reliable, as it is imperative for our reputation as well.”
“Essentially, Codeless Platforms is a leading international player for integration and business process automation and we're a growing international company with offices recently opened in North America. We both understand the benefits that automation and integration can bring, so there is a very good synergy between our two businesses.”
