What QEDO does
QEDO is a privately held South African IT services company, founded in 2001 (originally as eNovate Solutions) and operating under the QEDO Group, which comprises QEDO (Pty) Ltd and QEDO Modern Cloud (Pty) Ltd. The company specializes in the design, configuration, customization, development, and deployment of cloud-based enterprise management systems, operating as a Value-Added Reseller (VAR) partner of Acumatica — a true cloud, browser-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform with a no-per-user consumption-based licensing model. QEDO's product portfolio covers the full Acumatica xRP module suite, including Financial Management, Project Accounting, Customer Management (CRM), Distribution Management, Manufacturing Management, Service Management, Construction Management, and Reporting & Analytics, with integration capabilities for IoT, ML, and AI technologies through the platform's open architecture.
QEDO serves medium-to-large enterprises in South Africa and broader Africa across seven primary verticals: Manufacturing, Wholesale & Distribution, Service Industry, Retail & eCommerce, Agriculture, Construction, and General Business. The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales with consultation- and demo-driven engagement, supported by offices in Centurion (Gauteng, headquarters), Bellville (Western Cape), and Bloemfontein (Free State). Revenue is generated through three streams: an SSaaS (Service and Software as a Service) all-inclusive monthly subscription that bundles software licensing, hosting, professional services, support, and admin fees as an opex expense; discrete professional implementation services (Requirement Analysis, Solution Design, SDLC-based implementation, customization, integration, and project management); and ongoing managed services support under Service Level Agreements. The company is led by CEO Andre Matthysen and has a specialized team with more than 200 years of combined IT industry experience. Notable strategic moves include the January 2022 partnership with Tayana Solutions to deliver process manufacturing and eCommerce connectors, and the integration of AI/ML-driven smart matching in expense management.

QEDO competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Sage South Africa (Sage VIP, Sage 300): Major incumbent mid-market ERP vendor in South Africa with Sage VIP, Sage 300 and Sage Intacct product lines. Competes with Acumatica (and therefore QEDO) for the same finance-led mid-market buyer, and its partner ecosystem competes with QEDO's VAR role for the Acumatica platform.
- T-Systems South Africa: Deutsche Telekom subsidiary with a South African delivery arm providing SAP-centric and multi-platform ERP consulting, cloud, and managed services. Comparable on enterprise ERP transformation deals with global delivery reach QEDO cannot match.
- Altron (Altron Systems Integration): Major South African technology group with a dedicated systems integration business delivering ERP, managed services and digital transformation to enterprise and mid-market clients. Competes for similar ERP deployment mandates but operates a multi-platform, multi-vendor model.
- BCX (Business Connexion): Leading South African ICT solutions and services provider (now part of Telkom) with broad ERP, managed services, and cloud capabilities. Overlaps with QEDO in mid-market and enterprise ERP implementation, customisation, and support across multiple platforms.
- Adapt IT (Ayo Technology): Large South African IT services and systems integration firm (now part of Ayo) with broad ERP capabilities across Microsoft, Sage and proprietary platforms. Comparable as a regional SI competing for the same mid-market and enterprise ERP modernization budgets but at significantly greater scale.
- NTT Data South Africa (formerly Dimension Data): Global SI with a strong South African footprint delivering large-scale ERP, cloud, and digital transformation programs. Competes with QEDO on enterprise and upper mid-market ERP opportunities and has substantially larger delivery capacity and balance sheet.
Direct peers
- Tayana Solutions: Gold Certified Acumatica VAR and ISV partner in South Africa that actually partners with QEDO. Directly comparable as a fellow Acumatica-focused VAR/ISV operating in the South African mid-market, competing for the same customer deals while collaborating on process manufacturing and eCommerce connectors.
- PRO Acumatica: Acumatica-focused consulting partner explicitly referenced as a partner in QEDO's customer data. Directly competes as a specialist Acumatica implementation VAR serving similar mid-market ERP buyers with comparable professional services and configuration offerings.
- BMT Africa (Acumatica partner): South African Acumatica implementation and support partner competing for the same mid-market cloud ERP deals. Directly comparable as a fellow Acumatica VAR with similar consulting-led delivery model and South African customer focus.
