Unleashed Software is a New Zealand-based software-as-a-service company that provides cloud based inventory management.[2] They were named as a SaaS company to watch in 2013[4] and also awarded the Xero add-on partner of the year in 2012.[4] They are known as one of the leading SaaS providers of inventory management and also one of the fastest growing cloud service companies.[1]

History

Unleashed Software was founded in 2009 by Greg Murphy and Terry Patmore [2] The company originally began in Auckland, New Zealand inside of Massey University. Since then, they have expanded globally with a presence in Australia, the UK, and the USA.[5]

In 2012, the company updated their platform with a drag and drop feature to allow users to customize and sort reports. The upgrade was said to make the software easier to navigate and more pleasant to look at.[6] The same year the company entered into an exclusive deal with NZPM Group, New Zealand’s second largest plumbing supplier, to provide live pricing of approximately 40,000 items to users of their production systems tools.[7]

Unleashed Software raised $2 million in venture capital in September 2012,[8] and a further $4 million in October 2013 to expand its sales staff and developers.[7][9] More recently in June 2015, they secured $4.5 million to support trans-Tasman growth, international expansion, and product development.[10]

Products and service

Unleashed Software provides inventory management tools that are primarily used for business-to-business traders. The tools integrate with other online business software programs such as Xero’s accounting system and Magento e-commerce.[2]

Inventory management is the main tool of Unleashed Software. It allows import and export of inventory through CSV files.[6] Once inventory is entered or uploaded into the software, customers can create reports, graphs, and track inventory, including from multiple warehouse locations. It also has an ecommerce feature that allows an online store, offline sales, and accounting data.[11] Inventory is updated automatically based on sales. There is also a customer relationship management feature to track clients by contact details and recent activity.[11]

Unleashed has a partner program where they assist companies in gaining knowledge about stock control and the use of Unleashed Software. The program includes training from experts, providing business with the support they need to manage their inventory. They also have an API for developers which allows them to integrate Unleashed Software with other systems. This allows companies to maintain their current software systems but integrate Unleashed as their inventory management tool.[12]

Company culture

Unleashed Software moved their offices to Takapuna, Auckland in 2013.[13] The move was to bring their offices closer to their employees, 80% of whom were reported to live on the North Shore of New Zealand.[13] It was also reported that Unleashed pays its workers approximately 20% higher than the local market average[14]

Awards and recognition

Unleashed Software was named as a SaaS company to watch in 2013 and also awarded the Xero add-on partner of the year in 2012.[4] In 2013 they were honored by Deloitte by being placed on both the Deloitte Fast 50 and Deloitte Technology Fast 500.[15]

Most recently in October 2017, Unleashed Software was awarded Xero’s Industry App of the Year[16] at Xerocon London. In the same week, Unleashed Software was also awarded Westpac’s Excellence in International Trade award.[17]
