Our take

With upwards of 2000 global companies relying on its services, Xentral is a leading lean enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for small and medium-sized businesses. Essentially, the company takes on the burden of daily repetitive tasks, freeing up time and space for its customers to grow.

Founded in Germany by a formidable husband-wife duo, Xentral has seen strong momentum as many businesses are turning to platforms like Amazon, eBay and Shopify to sell online, with Xentral’s services enabling companies to digitize and automate their back-end processes.

Recent series B funding, led by Tiger Global and Meritech, has been invested in enhancing the product, whilst capital has also been used to expand the U.K. operation toward a more global ERP market, a timely venture given its forecasted to be a market worth $71.3B by 2030.
