 Outlook:
FY 2018 has seen the successful execution on two important decisions which were to divest the companyâs Realtors8 business and to focus on the remaining core asset which is Expense8. The companyâs end goal to have a focused business around financial technology leveraging a core product and platform offering with a client base that is highly identifiable with Australian investors has been achieved.
The companyâs three core objectives for FY 2019 are as follows-
- Expand adoption of Travel and Credit Card Application and Maintenance platforms amongst
existing customers;
- Deliver the integrated Procurement Payment and Expense Management platform to a client;
- Expand business development resources to accelerate new client growth.
