About | POPX

Why we created POPX

For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to survive and prosper, digital transformation is essential. Many have embarked on an effort to transform their operations, but the task is complex and fraught with risk, often resulting in stretched timescales over many years and ever-increasing costs. With the best of intentions, most will fall short.

What if there was a fully managed digital platform that did this for you in one single step and for a fixed monthly subscription? What would this do to the customer experience, profitability and investor returns? They were the questions we asked ourselves before we set out to develop the solution.

The MSP community is constrained by fragmented operations, squeezed margins and disaffected customers fed up of paying for poor service. For too long, the customer experience has been broken and now must be re-engineered to win back their trust. By focusing our many years of industry expertise, we were able to solve the most critical operational challenges that we know every MSP is confronted by each day.

The result of our endeavour is POPX, a fully managed and integrated MSP platform that transforms operations, service and business management functions. POPX enables full transformation to a comprehensive cloud services offering, allowing service providers to deliver industry leading levels of customer service from a more efficient organisation. And, we deliver all this with a fraction of the time and risk it would take for an MSP to do themselves. Welcome to the era of the Smart MSP.
