Tangent and De Villiers develop online CRM/ERP tool

Tangent Communications has teamed up with De Villiers Walton to launch Zui Ltd - an online CRM and ERP tool aimed at large corporate businesses.

According to Tangent joint managing director Nicholas Green, the company has already received interest from FTSE 100 companies.

He said: "It is early days but the venture is an exciting prospect for Tangent."

Green added that the average order for Zui will be "north of £500,000" and said the venture intended to capitalise on the company's continuing relationship with business software provider SAP.

Zui's core offering is off-the-shelf SAP add-on product development using SAP backend business logic and data. This core offering is supported by bespoke application development and support services for business data processing.

The product launches at a time of growing interest in ERP. Spanish SAP provider Inextrama made its version of SAP, tailored for graphics arts sector, available across Europe at this year's Drupa.
