Our clients

"The Quintessence Middleware has been a fantastic enabler of automating tasks, accessing different views of data and enhancing control. The technology and its continued development, coupled with excellent and "human" customer service make Quintessence an ideal partner."

Mark Williams \ Director & Head of Operations - Bateleur Capital

"Quintessence has been incredibly useful to us in creating a database for all of our fund data since inception, a mammoth task in itself. The customised reports which have been created to access and manipulate this data are world-class and have been a huge time saver for us. Quintessence has enabled us to automate a huge number of our back office tasks and streamline a number of different areas of our business while also gaining deeper insight in our funds and investment decision making. The entire team are great to work with, with a real “can-do” attitude and I can’t recommend them more highly."

Simone Blanckenberg \ Chief Operating Officer - Tantalum

"Quintessence has enabled us to control both our research data efficiently and easily whilst still giving us full control of all data calculations and reports. The ease and power of the customisation has enabled us to use Quintessence throughout the business and give the end user exactly the output they require, from standard portfolio holdings reports to detailed proprietary valuation calculations. In addition, we can easily go back and check how our valuations and views have changed over time. The automation of many tedious tasks has been a boon as we have grown in size and enabled us to focus on our core functions rather than administration."

Nicholas Crotty \ Head of Quants - Truffle Asset Management

"Quintessence has been useful in that it is very customisable to our specific company and client requirements. The system makes the data received from our outsourced portfolio administrator more flexible, dynamic and efficient. The numerous functions and reports within the Excel add-in allow us to convert the various portfolio and market data sources into meaningful bespoke reports for clients and internal management. In addition, it enables our investment team to apply our own proprietary knowledge into a system which has multiple output capabilities. "

Logan Govender \ Chief Operating Officer - Perpetua Investment Managers

"We use Quintessence as middleware, integrating data across our investment process. This way, our users are given seamless access to information from a variety of providers spanning a range of reports. I highly recommend this sophisticated yet intuitive platform. "

We implemented the system as the critical backbone of our core investment process, integrating all the key elements in a simple, powerful, easy to use and comprehensive system. We recommend it with high conviction."
