The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales targeting CFO and CPO decision-makers, inside sales for mid-market, an annual flagship event (Discover Live), and an indirect channel of 43+ ERP integration, solution and consulting partners. The company has 51-100 employees, is recognised in The Hackett Group Spring 2026 SolutionMap and Spend Matters Fall 2025 SolutionMap, and maintains dedicated Dutch, English and German websites supporting its European growth.
