Touchstone Joins Compleat Software Reseller Programme

LONDON, May 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Purchase automation vendor Compleat Software Limited http://www.compleatsoftware.com today announces that it has signed Touchstone Group as the latest addition to its reseller partner network for its purchase automation, spend control and employee expenses software solution 'Compleat'. Touchstone Group will primarily be offering Compleat to their Microsoft Dynamics GP customer base, the largest in the UK.

Touchstone is one of the UK's largest and most established suppliers of integrated business software and consultancy services, offering a broad range of services and software applications including ERP, CRM, Financial Management and Business Intelligence as well as being recognised as a leading provider of Employee Expenses/Spend Control systems.

Andes Loukianos, Head of the Touchstone GP Business Unit at Touchstone Group, comments, "We have seen a very significant increase in demand for purchase automation and spend control software from our small to medium sized customers, reflecting their current focus on improving productivity and increasing their control of corporate cash. We have recognised a gap in our product portfolio that required a functionally rich solution that could be delivered very quickly and at a very compelling price point. Prior to Compleat our options were restricted to either basic or enterprise level business solutions with a price tag to match."

Loukianos continues, "Over the last six months we have used our extensive experience of the e-procurement marketplace to review the alternative offerings and find the best employee expenses solution for our customers. Compleat is a great fit that addresses the customer demand we are currently experiencing and complements our product portfolio perfectly It offers our Microsoft Dynamics GP clients a purchase automation solution that is very affordable without compromising functionality."

Loukianos adds, "The great thing about Compleat is it uses a template design, making it very easy to deploy and easy for everyone in the company to digest. Clients can be up and running with Compleat in as little as five days, but significantly our experienced procurement consultants will help ensure that the company has the right culture and disciplines in place to derive maximum benefit from this powerful piece of employee expenses and purchase automation software over time."

Neil Robertson, CEO of Compleat Software, says, "We are delighted to have Touchstone on board. It is a real testament to our unique strategy to open up the small to medium sized business market with a functionally rich, fast to deploy and easy to use purchase automation solution. There is a great synergy between our companies as Touchstone is one of the country's leading providers of procurement and employee expenses software. We are already talking to a number of their Dynamics GP customers about Compleat and their feedback has been excellent."
