Mustard Seed Bags 2021 SAP Top Partner of the Year Award

The accolade was given in recognition of Mustard Seed’s exceptional performance in delivering and implementing the most number of SAP Business One in the Philippines. By doing so, we’ve helped several businesses modernize their operations and become better-run companies. It is yet another feather in the cap for Mustard Seed, which has consistently received awards and recognition from SAP since 2010.

“We are truly honored to receive this award from SAP,” said Judith Adao, General Manager of Mustard Seed. “It is a testament to our team’s hard work and dedication in providing our customers the best business management solutions.”

Committed to the Growth of SMEs in the Country

We were founded in 1999, selling ABSS (formerly MYOB), an off-the-shelf accounting software before developing our own payroll management system. Over the years, Mustard Seed has become a premier technology solutions provider for small and medium businesses (SMEs) in the Philippines, enabling them to level up their operations, become more efficient, and ultimately, become more profitable through advanced and cost-effective IT products.

“We are very grateful for the recognition from SAP,” Adao said. “This only strengthens our commitment to provide world-class products and services that will help SMEs in the country to grow and become more competitive.”

Our Partnership With SAP

Mustard Seed has thousands of satisfied clients using ERP systems powered by SAP Business One.

We’ve been an SAP partner since 2010. Eventually accredited as an SAP gold channel partner, we are now authorized to resell, implement, and provide support services for SAP Business One—an integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) software designed for SMEs.

SAP Business One solves day-to-day problems experienced by our clients because it streamlines their operations and provides real-time insights – empowering them to make better decisions. It is a complete solution covering key areas such as sales and marketing, purchasing and operations, inventory and products, and projects and services.

Why It Matters

This award exemplifies our company’s resolve to guarantee excellent service and innovation. It also underscores our purpose and passion in helping our customers improve their profitability through technology.

As Adao said, “This award is not only for Mustard Seed but also for our clients. We would not have received this recognition if it weren’t for their trust in our company and our services. We will continue working hard to provide and deliver world-class, affordable, and relevant business solutions, technologies, products, and services that will drive strategic growth and efficiency for small and medium enterprises, educational institutions, and business partners through accessible channels and dedicated qualified professionals.”

Potential Partnerships

During the event, we had a booth to showcase our latest products and services. Attendees consulted with our team of experts, who presented some of our packages, and how they can benefit organizations.

We also had the opportunity to network with other industry players and exchange ideas on how we can further improve our wide range software and hardware solutions.

The 2-day event included presentations on SAP’s roadmap, new technologies for S4/HANA, SAP ByD and upcoming features of SAP’s BTP. There were also breakout sessions where attendees could learn winning strategies in the APJ market as well as how to deliver value to customers, among many others.

Overall, it was a very successful event for us, and we look forward to participating in future SAP events.

Not Resting on Our Laurels

Since 2010, Mustard Seed has received numerous awards from SAP. But more than these esteemed recognitions, Mustard Seed’s ability to diversify its IT offerings for businesses of all sizes has been the driving force behind its remarkable achievements.

In line with this, we’re continuously expanding our portfolio of products and services. Aside from SAP Business One, we also provide accounting and inventory software for small businesses such as Xero, QuickBooks, ABSS (formerly MYOB), and Sage 50. Our cloud ERP solutions, such as SAP Business ByDesign and Oracle NetSuite, have shifted the way mid-size companies run their operations which dramatically improved their bottom line.

Simply put, we are continuously evolving to become the one-stop shop for your business needs.

What’s Next for Mustard Seed?

This year’s SAP SMB Innovation Summit has been a notable accomplishment for Mustard Seed. We’re thrilled to implement the emerging technologies for our clients that will transform the way they do business.

We also have an upcoming SME Business Tradeshow this September 2022 to showcase our world-class products and services – just in time to celebrate our 23rd founding anniversary.

It is just one of the many things we have planned to show our commitment to SMEs nationwide. We will continue to work hard to provide innovative solutions so our clients can adapt to the challenges brought about by the ever-changing business landscape.

Mustard Seed Turns 20!

How do you celebrate the 20 years of impact you’ve made to the growth and success of SMEs in the Philippines? For us in Mustard Seed Systems Corporation (MSSC), it would only be appropriate to commemorate this milestone with our valued customers and partners who, for the past two decades, have trusted our solutions and believed in our vision of modernizing SME operations in the country. Hence, we organized our FIRST EVER SME Business Trade Show last September 19, 2019 at One Esplanade in Pasay City.

Setting out with the theme, “Empowering SMEs for 20 Years”, we highlighted our growth, showcased trusted solutions from some of the best brands in IT & Services under one roof, shared our plans for the future, and most of all, thanked our growing number of clients nationwide.

20 Years of Sowing the Seeds

Recognizing that the significance of this milestone is only truly appreciated when viewed in the perspective of the people who were there since day 1, our General Manager, Judith Adao, opened the trade show with a short but inspiring presentation of how MSSC, together with its clients, started small with only 5 employees when it first commenced operations; yet continuously grew into a sizeable business.

We began our operations by selling ABSS, an off-the-shelf accounting software, and Point-of-Sale systems before we developed our own payroll management software. Launched in 1999, Philippine Payroll Pro has helped over 5,000+ small and medium-sized businesses automate the way they process their employees’ benefits and compensations. Together with ABSS, these two products forged our path on being a multi-awarded company and prominent solution provider in the country. To date, Mustard Seed caters to 22,000 corporate customers, operates in 6 branches across key cities with one international office in Hong Kong, and is a proud receiver of eighteen awards for both local and international recognitions.

20 Exciting Booths

There is nothing more fun and innovative than witnessing firsthand how world-class applications function. From ERP to CRM, payroll, cloud technology, accounting, network security, building technology, office furniture, mobile money service, and shipping & logistics, we brought together various must-have solutions for different business needs during the trade show.

Through booths and demo stations, attendees had the chance to talk face-to-face with product experts. The event was also a great opportunity to network and share business strategies with like-minded entrepreneurs, decision-makers, and industry leaders.

Non-stop Giveaways

To show appreciation for all the support given by our customers, we did not hold back from giving away exclusive freebies and discounts. For our anniversary month, we offered the Starter Edition of our homegrown payroll brand – Philippine Payroll Enterprise for FREE for the whole month of September. We also collaborated with Deskera to give away FREE CRM Software to all trade show attendees; which is also bundled with FREE onboarding workshop to help our customers go live with ease. While for Mustbuy.ph shoppers, we are offering an exclusive deal of up to 15% discount on selected ZKTeco biometric products until December 31, 2019.

Next-Generation Partnerships

Mustard Seed continuously builds long-lasting partnerships with globally recognized brands. We are a trusted partner of international organizations like SAP, Dell, NetSuite, Sophos, Veritas, ABSS, QuickBooks, Honeywell, Xero, Sage 50, ZKTeco, Dahua, Dell, Acer, Canon, Epson, Panasonic, Cisco, and Kano to mention a few. At the trade show, we officially launched our new partnership with the most flexible and secure cloud computing platform today, Amazon Web Services. Through this partnership, SMEs can now have access to unmatched cloud services and expertise to aid in their exponential growth. They can now stay ahead of the game with the latest Cloud & IT solution to future-proof their businesses.

What’s Next: New Seeds to Grow

Aside from organizing our FIRST EVER SME Business Trade Show, we have implemented other projects to make it easier for small businesses to get the products and services they need. We improved our internal processes, launched Mustbuy.ph, unveiled the newest version for their Philippine Payroll Enterprise, and started providing offshore implementation support for SAP and NetSuite.

But at the core of these projects, giveaways, product booths, and new partnerships, is our raw sincerity to salute our clients. We know that this achievement is because of the trust and support of our partners who played a vital role in our growth and success. We are truly grateful that esteemed companies from various sectors like yours have trusted us to grow your business. And as our celebration is nearing its end, we look forward to seeing you again next year for another fun-filled event.

In celebration of its 20th year in the business, Mustard Seed organized it’s FIRST EVER SME Business Trade Show – gathering almost 377 decision-makers, experts, and professionals from various industries.

With its theme, “Empowering SMEs for 20 Years”, Mustard Seed proved why it’s the most credible choice of fast-growing enterprises by showcasing internationally-recognized firms, such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Dell, SAP, NetSuite, ABSS, Acer Academy, Cisco, Deskera, Pacific Concord, QuickBooks, ZKTeco, Honeywell, Dahua, GCash, Veritas, and Sophos.

The SME Business Trade Show brought together all the business solutions that growing organizations need – from accounting & inventory, payroll, cloud technology services, ERP, CRM, network security, building technology, office furniture, and even shipping & logistics to mention a few.

It was a significant event where attendees learned from industry leaders, exchanged valuable insights between solutions specialists, and won raffle prizes from partners and sponsors alike. MSSC also took the opportunity to thank its partners by awarding them for their unwavering trust and support.

Mustard Seed Systems Corporation’s success-filled journey began in 1999 when innovation was introduced through technology. Ushering the new millennium caused wide-scale disruption to businesses and infrastructure – and this shift in the business landscape hit the hardest on small businesses.

This inspired MSSC’s founders to turn MSSC as the first company in the Philippines to focus on the needs of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.

Opened by two college friends, Osler Fajardo and Dean Go started selling off-the-shelf accounting software to accelerate the growth of SMEs in the country. Through hard work, experience, dedication, and expertise, they eventually developed their own payroll system and adapted solutions which were tailor-made to support different aspects of SME operations.

For two decades, and with 22,000+ corporate customers, MSSC has forged several technology partnerships, received numerous industry accolades, and attracted more than 250+ talented and highly dedicated employees. The company has also established branches in Manila, Cebu, Davao, Bacolod, Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro, and Hong Kong. Its product line also keeps on growing – now comprised of over 44 world-class brands and counting!

On its 20th year, Mustard Seed embarked on a new path by entirely transforming and modernizing their workplace, officially launching its onsite and offsite training programs through Mustard Seed Academy, and introducing the FIRST AND ONLY online B2B shopping website of business solutions – Mustbuy.ph.

Looking back, who would’ve thought that from a humble seed, Mustard Seed would grow into a mighty tree? A mighty tree that does not only empower small seeds to flourish through its branches of solutions but continuously nurtures their growth through a rewarding, long-term partnership.

Cheers to more years of growing your business with Mustard Seed Systems Corporation!
