What Proactis does

Proactis is a UK-headquartered (Wetherby) provider of cloud-based Source-to-Pay (S2P) software, with operating subsidiaries in France, Germany and the Netherlands and customer reach across 100+ countries. Founded in 1995 and operating for over 30 years, the company sells a modular platform comprising sourcing, supplier relationship management (SRM), contract management, a guided-buying marketplace, purchase-to-pay (P2P), accounts payable automation, and AI-powered invoice capture (including Rego CAI predictive AI). The platform is designed to integrate with, rather than replace, existing ERP and finance systems including Unit4, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Infor, MRI, NetSuite and Workday.

The product is delivered as subscription SaaS on annual or multi-year contracts, priced per organisation, module and transaction volume. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with a strategic partner ecosystem anchored by a 20+ year Unit4 relationship (160+ joint customers), an MRI Software channel focused on housing providers, and a renewed TouchstoneFMS partnership for Infor SunSystems clients. Target customers are mid-market and large service-focused organisations across local government, housing, higher education, healthcare, property and facilities management, not-for-profit, professional services, and financial services verticals.

Monetisation is recurring SaaS subscription revenue supplemented by managed services (e.g., Invoice Capture Managed Service) and customer enablement (Training Academy). The company reports 1,000+ organisations and 2+ million platform users, with measurable customer outcomes including up to 90% reductions in invoice processing costs, 95%+ of procurement activity managed through the platform in some public-sector deployments, and sourcing cycle times compressed from months to weeks. Ownership rests with PROACTIS TOPCO LIMITED as ultimate majority parent, with PROACTIS SA listed on Euronext Growth Paris. Recent strategic activity includes £20M debt funding from HSBC (March 2025), a new CEO appointment in June 2025, and renewed / expanded channel partnerships through 2026.
