Administrate, the Scottish technology company that develops software for managing workplace training, has posted a record quarter for Q1 2017 boosted by sales in the UK and fast-growing markets in the Middle East and North America.
The company has released more than sixty product enhancements during the first quarter including integrations with SurveyMonkey and Xero, a leading cloud accounting platform. Commenting on the integration, Xero’s UK and EMEA co-founder and managing director said: “We’re delighted to welcome Administrate into Xero’s vibrant app marketplace. Thanks to the integration, our mutual customers will have access to up to date information about the growth of their training business that seamlessly syncs with their accounting software.”
Six months on from opening its second international office at the Beirut Digital District in Lebanon, Administrate has secured a number of new contracts in the region including Jeddah-based Saudi Ground Services (SGS), a publicly traded provider of airport logistics services, and has doubled its headcount in Beirut to support an increase in sales. Administrate’s existing clients in the Middle East include PwC and Morgan International. In September 2016, Administrate launched an Arabic site and appointed Bob Sabra to run the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) operation.
Bob Sabra, VP of Operations for MENA, said: “Partnerships like the one with SGS illustrate what Administrate does best, working closely with clients to boost efficiencies while demonstrating return on investment.”
Administrate’s record quarter follows significant investment in the engineering team during 2016 and a quadrupling of the product headcount. Administrate CEO John Peebles said: “Our mission is to help our customers succeed and the investment we have made in the team and our product is paying dividends in terms of the partnerships we are forming and the expansion of our client base across the globe. Some of the world’s biggest brands trust Administrate to handle their core training operations and we’re excited about what the future holds for all of our customers.”
