Technology and digital solutions

The systems behind a working partnership: the portal your distributors order through, the reports both sides read. We set them up and run them, so that what was agreed keeps happening.

What it is

Partnerships and trade routes tend to fail in the day-to-day: an order lost in a chat thread, a report nobody trusts. We replace those weak points with a system that both sides use.

HENOVERA Technologies sets up portals and closed marketplaces, and runs them as a managed service, for engagements that HENOVERA is already part of. We use established software wherever it fits and build only what cannot be bought. The scope is narrow on purpose. We do not sell technology on its own.

One technology layer sits under the other three capabilities.

From day one

  • Partner and distributor portals: one place for orders, documents and status
  • Closed B2B marketplaces for a defined group of buyers and sellers
  • Managed digital services: we run the platform and support its users
  • Shared reporting, so that both sides of a partnership read the same numbers

Later

  • Standard platforms offered across clients, once enough engagements share the same need
  • Direct connections to the finance and stock systems that clients already run

Who it is for

Companies whose partnerships and trade have outgrown the tools they started with. It usually looks like one of these four.

Your distributor orders live in spreadsheets and chat threads.

You have several distributors or agents and no single view of orders and stock. We put them on one portal and keep it running.

Both sides of your partnership report different numbers.

You are in an alliance or a joint venture, and each side keeps its own records. We set up the shared record and the reports that both boards read.

You want your buyers and sellers in one place.

A principal, a trade body or a group of suppliers that needs a closed marketplace for a defined set of products and members.

You need the system and have nobody to run it.

You would otherwise have to hire people to maintain it. We operate it for you as a managed service.

Who it is not for

A company looking for a software vendor or a standalone build. We take on technology work where it supports a partnership, a sales effort or a trade route that HENOVERA is part of.

How an engagement runs

Five steps, from how the work runs today to a system in daily use. Nothing is built before you have approved a written specification.

  1. Map how the work runs

    We sit with the people who place orders, chase payments and write the reports. We record each step and tool, and every point where information is retyped or lost.

  2. Decide what to fix first

    You receive a short specification: what the system must do, who will use it and what it will replace. Where established software fits, we recommend it.

  3. Configure and build

    HENOVERA Technologies sets up the system, builds what cannot be bought and loads your products and users.

  4. Move people onto it

    We train your team and the teams of your partners. The old and new ways run side by side for a short period, then the old one is switched off.

  5. Operate and report

    We run the system as a managed service: user support, data quality and regular reports. The data stays yours throughout.

What we do

Map the process and write the specification. Then configure, build and test the system, train its users and operate it.

What you do

Give us access to the people who do the work today. Approve the specification before anything is built. Name one person on your side who owns the system.

What you have at the end

A system in daily use, and one version of the numbers.

  • A working portal or marketplace

    In use by your team and your partners, with their orders and documents in it.

  • One set of numbers

    Orders and results, read by both sides from the same record.

  • A written specification

    What the system does and why, so that it can be maintained, changed or moved.

  • A managed service

    User support with agreed response times, and a regular report on how the system is used.

Who delivers it, and where

One founding operating company leads this work, in the two markets where we are present today.

Founding operating companyHENOVERA TechnologiesDigital platforms and marketplaces

HENOVERA Technologies works alongside whichever operating company leads the wider engagement, so the system is specified by the people who know the commercial work.

Where it sits in the SBPG Core Method™

Every engagement passes through all ten stages. Technology does most of its work late in the method: running the day-to-day, measuring results in numbers both sides trust, and turning gains into systems that hold without us.
