We’re excited to announce a new strategic partnership with Braintree Technologies, one of nine Microsoft Managed Partners in South Africa, bringing more than 20 years of AGR’s forecasting and replenishment intelligence to inventory-heavy businesses across the region.
The partnership adds AGR as an intelligence layer on top of the ERP a customer already runs. AGR is ERP-agnostic, working alongside Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Finance & Operations, GP, legacy Dynamics, and non-Dynamics systems such as Sage and Syspro. That means no rip-and-replace, low implementation risk, and go-live possible in as little as a week.
“South Africa’s wholesalers, retailers and manufacturers face exactly the inventory challenges AGR was built to solve. With more than 400 customers worldwide and over 20 years of experience, we are proud to bring that intelligence to the market with a partner as trusted and locally established as Braintree.”
Finnur Bragason, Sales Director, AGR
Braintree Technologies is a top-tier Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central practice and LS Retail Diamond Partner, headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa. The company has grown more than 220 South African businesses over more than ten years, with over 100 certified professionals working across Business Applications, Modern Workplace and Azure.
“Our customers have cash sitting on shelves and best-sellers running out at the same time. AGR lets us fix a real operational problem on top of the systems they already run, and help fund the move to a modern platform through the efficiency it delivers. It is a low-risk way to free capital and grow.”
Craig Fidler, VP of Business Applications, Braintree Technologies
What this means for your business
For wholesalers, retailers, distributors and manufacturers, the value is practical. AGR right-sizes inventory to free the working capital trapped in slow-moving stock, forecasts demand by channel, product and location instead of relying on spreadsheets and static min or max rules, and automates ordering to cut manual work by up to 80%. Two AGR customers illustrate the outcomes already: Newitts cut stock by 15%, with payback inside six months, and Regal Wholesale lifted service levels from 82% to 92%.
Already live in South Africa
AGR is already live and working at Matumi Fresh Group, a joint Braintree and AGR customer, and The Pro Shop, an AGR customer, both in South Africa, with a deeper joint case study to follow once those customers are ready to tell it.
If your business is carrying more stock than it needs in some places and running out in others, this partnership was built with exactly that problem in mind.
Stock smart. Grow smart.
