Together, the two companies aim to address a significant gap for businesses that have outgrown entry-level cloud systems or been left stranded on legacy on-premises software without an accessible path to the cloud.
Bridging the Mid-Market Gap
iplicit is the latest addition to Tick9’s growing suite of technology partners, which includes market leaders in inventory management, app development, and analytics. Tick9 continues to integrate business systems through its partner technologies, supporting end-to-end visibility and automation across operations and finance.
As an accredited iplicit partner, Tick9 can now serve SMEs in need of a modern cloud finance solution — without the cost, complexity, or disruption of enterprise-scale alternatives.
Why iplicit
Steve Fewster, Director at Tick9, comments:
"Working primarily with SMEs in the £5m–£250m revenue range, we see many struggling to navigate outdated systems that are disconnected or simply no longer fit for purpose. Some have grown through acquisition and are now managing dozens of systems. Others are stuck with legacy platforms like Sage 50 or Sage 200 that either lack flexibility or are overly complex and expensive, with a heavy reliance on third-party add-ons."
"The market opportunity here is immense. I’ve worked with countless finance systems over the past two decades, but iplicit stands out as bridging a real gap in the mid-market. Its implementation timeline — measured in weeks rather than months — minimises disruption and is a huge advantage for SMEs looking to modernise quickly. We see this as the beginning of a long and successful collaboration."
A Strong Fit
Paula Cooper, Head of Channel at iplicit, adds:
"Tick9 is an ideal partner for iplicit. Its deep understanding of the SME market and commitment to delivering impactful solutions align perfectly with our mission to help businesses escape the confines of legacy and entry-level systems. Our partnership with Tick9 will accelerate the benefits of cloud for countless organisations."
iplicit secured a £25m investment from One Peak in January 2025 to drive product innovation and growth, including the expansion of its partner networks and channel reseller programme.
