The company holds SAP Gold, Microsoft Gold, and CCH Tagetik Platinum partner status.

Revenue model

1. ERP Implementation and Consulting Services: Professional services revenue from designing, implementing, and integrating SAP and Microsoft ERP solutions. Codestone guides clients from strategy through to go-live, including data migration, customisation, and capability-building training. Implementation engagements are project-based but typically lead to ongoing support contracts.
2. ERP and IT Managed Services: Recurring managed services revenue from 24x7x365 support contracts covering ERP systems, IT infrastructure, and cybersecurity. Codestone's CloudCare and CyberCare services generate recurring subscription-style revenue with guaranteed SLAs. The company reports a 97% customer retention rate and supports 1,000+ customers.
3. Software Licensing and Cloud Subscriptions: Revenue from reselling SAP and Microsoft software licenses and cloud subscriptions. Codestone as SAP Gold Partner and Microsoft Gold Partner passes through software subscription costs (e.g., SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central) while providing implementation and ongoing support services.
