“In the past, we counted on the finance team to share quarterly reports, but now we’ve got daily, accurate information whenever and how we need it. We’re much better organized internally and more efficient—something a growing tech company should be.” Nidal Othman, Managing Director, StarLink

End-to-End Visibility Across International Business

Sustaining growth
Over the last decade, StarLink has grown more than 50 percent year-on-year to become the largest and fastest growing IT Security ‘True Value-Added-Distributor’ in the region with a turnover of over $300m.
Challenges while growing
Over 150 sales staff, whether in the Middle East, UK, Europe or Africa, were lacking appropriate tools and real-time information to meet business needs such as processing expenses, updating new orders and providing quotes, and meeting monthly financial targets.
All-in-one solution
The company decided to replace various siloed legacy systems so that everything could run on a single fully integrated cloud ERP solution. Local implementation partner, Inspirria, enabled customization for streamlining the company’s global business processes. Forecasting accuracy has gone from around 60 to 90 percent and business processes that took hours takes just a few minutes, thanks to an intuitive workflow.
Improved visibility and reporting
With much improved visibility and more reliable data, StarLink plans to continue adding new features and users as it grows, including business intelligence tools in the future for enhanced management reporting and using key performance indicators (KPIs) to chart success.
