SKS works with over 30 municipalities across Denmark. Working with Abingdon Software Group, the organisation has ambitious growth plans to expand into new marketing and invest in new technology.
SKS Applikations Service (SKS) offers software solutions that automate and optimise workflows in the municipal labour market in Denmark. Currently focusing on unemployment departments, the system digitises and streamlines processes and documentation for refunds and payments. With an intuitive user interface that enables fast and efficient implementation, SKS meets all legal requirements and saves its clients vital time and financial resources.
With an existing annual growth rate of between 15% and 20%, SKS successfully revolutionised the way municipalities manage refunds and economic transactions with companies.
Looking to the future, SKS is aiming to expand within Denmark over the next two to three years, exploring new innovative technology to meet additional demands within municipalities and the public sector as a whole. Departments within municipalities such as family care and financial services would see huge benefits from an adapted version of the system, allowing them to replicate the success found in unemployment departments when it comes to processing data, simplifying workflows and creating coherent processes.
Denmark’s approach to unemployment is unique and admired worldwide, with employers empowered to adjust to the needs of their marketplace without excessive costs for dismissing employees. Employees are also given security with unemployment benefits and training opportunities. With unrivalled knowledge and expertise in this system, SKS is also looking to explore expansion into neighbouring countries with a similar approach to unemployment, including Sweden, Norway, and Holland.
SKS has just entered into a new partnership with Abingdon Software Group, a relationship that will have a significant influence on SKS’s growth and development.
With access to Abingdon Software Group’s expertise, resources and network, SKS will be fully supported in its objective to expand its services and reach new markets. Opportunities for knowledge sharing and collaboration were partially important for SKS when entering into this partnership. Abingdon Software Group’s experience in software development and business strategy is seen as a vital component when exploring new features and marketing to new territories, ultimately enhancing SKS’s competitiveness in the market.
“The fact that Abingdon Software Group didn’t want to come in and make big infrastructure changes to the team was very important to me. This approach means we keep our ethos and culture but can hugely benefit from the group’s expertise and experience. Getting to have conversations with the team about strategy, new customers and upcoming opportunities will generate new ideas and paths forward.
I’m eager to see what we can build with the support of Abingdon Software Group, taking our successful model and expanding how it’s utilised within municipalities in Denmark, as well as applying it to other countries, is an exciting challenge that will require Abingdon Software Group’s expertise and experience”.
Abingdon Software Group is very impressed by SKS’s range of products and the impact their systems have on existing client’s workflows. We are excited to see how this service can expand and reach new audiences. Our aim is to support this growth and drive innovation within the organisation.
