What Anthesis does

Anthesis is a UK-based ERP software, consulting, and managed services firm founded in 2009 and headquartered in Congleton. It operates as a dual Gold Channel partner — IFS Gold Channel and Services Partner and Infor Gold Channel and Alliance Partner — reselling and implementing IFS Cloud and Infor CloudSuite for enterprise customers across chemicals, industrial manufacturing, distribution, food and beverage, pet food and animal feed, aerospace and defence, construction and engineering, and energy/utilities. The company also offers adjacent services including cloud upgrades, Anthesis Analytics (BI and reporting), Anthesis Integrate (system integration including Making Tax Digital compliance), support and managed services, and consultant resourcing.

The underlying technology stack is built around certified expertise in third-party ERP platforms rather than proprietary software; the differentiating IP sits in Anthesis Analytics and Anthesis Integrate, which provide reporting and integration layers on top of partner ERP data, plus UK and EU registered trademarks for the Anthesis brand. Delivery is powered by 150+ professionals averaging 15 years of experience, producing 20,000+ consulting days per year and 400+ completed projects across 30 countries. The founder, Tom Constantine, serves as Joint-MD.

Anthesis monetises through four streams: (i) subscription/recurring ERP software license resale as a channel partner; (ii) professional services for implementation, upgrades, and projects; (iii) managed services for ongoing ERP support; and (iv) consultant resourcing/placement. Pricing is custom and quote-based with multi-year contract cadence, typical of enterprise B2B ERP services. No revenue, funding, or ownership details are disclosed in the source material; the company appears privately held and founder/management-controlled with no identified parent or institutional investor.
