iplicit, a finance system for the UK and Ireland mid-market, has opened a new office in Newcastle as it looks to take on legacy vendors such as Sage.

The firm, which provides an AI-powered cloud-native finance system, has grown rapidly since market launch in 2019, now serving over 50,000 daily users across 103 countries.

With new customer acquisition up by over 100% in the past 18 months, iplicit is expanding its commercial team with the creation of new sales roles and the opening of a second physical base in Newcastle, a growing technology talent hub that will give the company a direct pipeline of skilled talent to further strengthen its market leadership.

“iplicit entered the market eight years ago to fill a gap left open by legacy providers like Sage, which had got too comfortable neglecting and not investing in their mid-market customers. Today, we have become a dominant force in it,” said Lyndon Stickley, CEO.

“Customers are choosing us over alternative providers because our tech, our team and our partners are the best in the market. We have recruited over 40 members of staff directly from the legacy vendors in the UK, with almost 30 coming from Sage; we expect many more to follow in the coming years.

“Newcastle provides us with a direct line into some of the most experienced finance software resources in the country, across sales, marketing, services and support.”
