Sage Pastel’s commitment to developing the region


Sage Pastel a division of Softline (Pty) Ltd, a leading developer of business management, accounting and ERP software solutions is excited to announce its partnership with Usage Business Solutions (Usage) as the only Sage Pastel Channel Development Partner (CDP) and Distributor for New Zealand.

Currently representing Sage Pastel in Australasia, Usage is headed up by Jeff Lewis who managed the Sage Pastel business in Africa and understands Sage Pastel's commitment to developing and supporting the channel, and therefore has extensive experience with the Sage Pastel product range.

Daryl Blundell, Sales Director at Sage Pastel International says: "we have been in the process of refining the Sage Pastel channel model to ensure better support of our Resellers and New Zealand based customers. We chose Usage due to their maturity, experience and understanding around supporting and developing a channel programme".

"We required a partner who would play more than just a distributor role. A partner who understands channel recruitment, skills enablement, developing business plans and in-depth understanding of supporting and developing a sustainable Reseller programme. It is not just about the logistics of shipping, invoicing and delivering software - there is no real value in just that for a Reseller" added Blundell.

The current CDP model clearly defines the role each party plays allowing the Reseller to invest in their business without concern of their distributor competing with them.
