Gyrosoft achieves Compleat Software Gold Partner Status

-Expansion into e-Procurement pays off as Gyrosoft wins £250,000 of business by offering automated spend control-

24 May 2010: Compleat Software Limited http://www.compleatsoftware.com a provider of e-Procurement, employee expense automation and cashflow management solutions, today announces that reseller Gyrosoft has achieved Gold Partner status. Gyrosoft has completed ten sales of the ‘Compleat’ spend control solution within ten months of becoming a partner, with a combined order value of over £250,000.

Gyrosoft, which started to sell Compleat in March 2009, is an award-winning Microsoft Gold Certified partner providing Microsoft Dynamics GP and Microsoft Dynamics CRM to small to mid-size corporates. It supports over 200 sites around the UK and Europe.

In response to the economic crisis, when conserving cash became the number one priority for UK businesses, Gyrosoft recognised an opportunity to diversify its portfolio of accounting software solutions into the e-Procurement market and selected ‘Compleat’ from Compleat Software.

Di Hudson, CEO of Gyrosoft, comments, “Opportunities to sell accounting software have reduced significantly in the recession, and businesses that do still have the budget are negotiating hard on licenses and man time rates. We knew our existing portfolio of software products would suffer in a recessionary market, and started to look for a solution that would be relevant to our customers’ needs and represent a long term strategic opportunity for our business.”

Hudson continues, “Compleat has proven to be a very smart decision indeed. We believe it is the best value solution on the market, with comprehensive functionality for a surprisingly low cost and an incredibly short return on investment, typically six months from going live. Our sales pipeline certainly reflects this; we have cross trained more people to meet the demand, and Compleat is the fastest growing revenue stream in our business.”

Compleat is accounting software agnostic, enabling partners to sell to a much wider audience than users of the systems for which they are accredited. It has a customer base that spans multiple vertical markets such as Sport / Events, Hospitality, Financial Services, Design and Property Development, Education, Media, Retail and Not-for-Profit.

Hudson adds, “We are thrilled with the success of our strategic decision to diversify our business in the recession. The market for Compleat is huge, and with ten sites we are already seeing exponential traction, that will help us to become a leading provider of spend control and expense management solutions for SMEs in the UK. Our customers are delighted with the value and ease of use of the software, and our ability to meet all of their needs with one highly affordable solution.”

Neil Robertson, CEO of Compleat Software, comments, “Despite the recent announcement that the UK is officially out of recession, businesses are right to remain cautious and it will be a long time before Financial Directors loosen their grip on spend control and cashflow management. Indeed, with a new awareness of cost saving opportunities in the purchasing process, e-Procurement will be the standard for every business in the UK. This market is ripe for the taking, and we are pleased to be supporting our partners with an accreditation scheme to recognise their achievements.”
