Audient is a globally recognised leader in audio equipment manufacturing, known for its highquality audio interfaces, mixing consoles, and studio monitors. As the company grew, its existing systems struggled to keep up with increasing demands. To streamline operations and support future growth, Audient turned to Technology Partners Ltd (TPL) to implement Sage 200 Professional.
Before adopting Sage 200 Professional, Audient relied on Sage 50 and a separate manufacturing system, leading to several operational challenges:
“We were using Sage 50, but it lacked the functionality we needed, and having data spread across different places just wasn’t working for us,” explained Connie Pearce, Systems Analyst and HR Manager at Audient.
Recognising the need for a centralised, scalable solution, Audient began exploring alternatives.
Audient evaluated multiple options, including Unleashed and custom-built systems, but ultimately chose Sage 200 for several key reasons:
Initially, Audient implemented Sage 200 Standard with another provider but was dissatisfied with the service. They reached out to TPL, who got to grips with their business requirements, conducted a full system review and subsequently recommended upgrading to Sage 200 Professional for its enhanced capabilities.
TPL worked closely with Audient to ensure a smooth transition, tailoring the system to their unique requirements.
Key enhancements included:
Bespoke features like customised packing notes and consolidated shipments were developed to improve efficiency.
TPL provided expert guidance to help Audient’s team maximise Sage 200 Professional’s capabilities.
Key workflows were streamlined, automating tasks that previously required manual input.
The upgrade to Sage 200 Professional has significantly improved Audient’s operations:
Increased efficiency
Admin tasks have been reduced by 50%, with automation speeding up shipping and transaction management.
Better reporting & insights
Advanced reporting tools provide valuable data for budgeting, stock management, and decision-making.
Scalability & growth
The system easily handles increasing transaction volumes, something that would have been unmanageable before
Simplified operations
By consolidating multiple
systems into one, Audient has improved productivity
across the business.

Audient’s partnership with Technology Partners Ltd has been instrumental in maximizing the benefits of Sage 200 Professional. Connie highlighted the team’s exceptional service and ability to create tailored solutions:
“We’ve challenged the TPL team to create something that wasn’t possible as standard, and they’ve developed a way to do what we need.”
Audient remains committed to maximising the potential of Sage 200 Professional, with upcoming features such as proforma invoicing already in development.
The company also plans to implement the Sicon Distribution module, which will generate suggested Purchase Orders to proactively address future stock shortages. By analysing current stock levels, sales orders, and demand trends, the system will determine replenishment needs
based on supplier lead times.
With the power of Sage 200 Professional and the expertise of Technology Partners Ltd, Audient is
well-positioned for continued growth and operational efficiency.
“Overall, it’s been a great journey. There were ups and downs, but since partnering with TPL, we’ve seen huge improvements—and we know there’s even more we can achieve with Sage 200 Professional.”
