Manchester based communications software provider Invosys has secured a £6.3m funding package from Santander 海角视频 as part of its ambitious growth plans.
The funding sees Invosys overhaul its entire lender portfolio, choosing to consolidate its loans with a single lender.
The company has also moved all its day-to-day banking functions across to Santander 海角视频.
The consolidation of its funding means that the company is able to focus on building its customer base of channel partners across the 海角视频 with its specialised product offering.
Invosys is a wholesale provider of its own cloud communications software and platform providing telecoms solutions to business customers.
Founded in 2006, in Manchester by Rob Booth and Peter Crooks, originally the 海角视频’s first specialist web-based portal for inbound call management aimed at SMEs, Invosys has more recently evolved to become a broader communications technology provider.
Invosys’ NumberManager platform is used by multi-national and international brands, as well as a huge number of SMEs in the 海角视频, Australia and New Zealand, and the company was named by the M.E.N as one of Manchester’s top 100 tech companies in 2017.
Rob Booth, CEO, Invosys said: “The funding from Santander will allow us to focus clearly on delivering our growth strategy and hitting our goals.
