Quadient
“Can a century-old mail-hardware company transform into the financial-automation OS for mid-market B2B teams by embedding payments, AR, AP, and communications in one platform?”

The story
Originally Neopost — a century-old franking machine and mail hardware company — Quadient has steadily pivoted toward SaaS-based finance automation and customer communications management. The acquisition of Beanworks (AP) and YayPay (AR) transformed it from a mail-hardware vendor into a finance-automation platform serving 300,000+ organisations. The embedded-payments layer (Nuvei, Fiserv, VersaPay, CardConnect, Corpay) has been bolted on to make AR and AP the commercial hub rather than a back-office tool.
