Meeting the Demand for Accessible Technology

In 1997, Gestisoft’s founder and former CEO, Claude Rose, identified a market need. Many businesses were struggling with disconnected systems and manual processes, which was holding them back from reaching their full potential. This inspired the creation of Gestisoft. Their goal was to help businesses implement powerful and intuitive ERP solutions using better technology to manage their operations more effectively.

This resolve to fill significant market needs continued as they identified and responded to evolving industry requirements, such as enhancing customer relationship management with ‘Microsoft Dynamics CRM’ and addressing specific demands of regulated bodies and associations.

Their journey toward cloud-based SaaS offerings is a testament to their steadfast commitment to meeting the demand for accessible, scalable, and cost-effective technology solutions. This journey further propels their mission to close the technology gap for businesses far and wide. At Gestisoft, they pour their dedication into crafting integrated, inventive solutions that embolden businesses to thrive and grow in the digital age.

Crafting Solutions for Diverse Business Needs

Gestisoft crafts digital solutions that fit a wide range of business needs. By making the most of Dynamics 365’s capabilities, they’re here to help businesses streamline operations, build lasting customer connections, and support growth.

Their approach includes adopting the full spectrum of CRM and ERP capabilities within Dynamics 365 and tailoring and extending these platforms to meet specific industry needs. They combine the tools in Dynamics 365 with their client’s current systems. This lets information move easily between things like managing money, the supply chain, sales, and customer service.

Also, they saw what specific things businesses needed in areas that required special functions. So, they created their own apps, like Legio, which is made just for professional associations and regulated bodies. These custom solutions fix the problem of needing a lot of custom development. Their clients get tools that are both efficient and follow the rules. Plus, they’re easy to use.

Gestisoft offers flexible digital solutions that can grow with a business. They use Microsoft technologies to create personalized, innovative solutions that are tailored to the specific needs of each business they work with.
