An East Kilbride software specialist has been head-hunted by a booming virtual reality (VR) company which caught the eye of Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg.
Eureka Solutions, which is based in Peel Park, has been operating in the town for 20 years and employs 72 people as part of its £4.5m a year business.
They have joined forces with Hampshire-based nDreams, which works with the likes of Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo and produces global blockbuster games.
Eureka's accounting software, NetSuite, will help save the VR firm hours of staff time a week, allowing them to focus on the big picture with the company growing massively in the last five years.
Mark Zuckerberg recently announced that nDreams’ Ghostbusters VR game would be introduced on the Meta platform.
Alan Miles, NetSuite sales director at Eureka Solutions, said: “It’s an extremely exciting time for nDreams, working with some of the world’s biggest companies to create incredible experiences for customers – we’re very thrilled to play a part in that journey.
“We are increasingly seeing businesses coming to us experiencing the issues caused by rapid scale-up. We’re absolutely focused on providing businesses with a tailored solution that allows them to grow while saving valuable time.
“By cutting down the time it takes to manage the books, the software will give the nDreams finance team more time to add strategic value.”
Caroline Whillock, senior finance consultant at nDreams, said: “Our operations have been scaling massively over the past five years, and our previous accounting software simply couldn’t keep up with that any longer.
“We were spending a painful amount of time on manual processes at every month-end, and we needed to cut that down as much as possible.
“We’re confident that by Eureka Solutions implementing NetSuite for us, we can save hours of staff time a week, allowing them to focus on big picture financial and strategic projects.
“There are many intricacies when it comes to the accountancy and finance side of the gaming industry so it’s absolutely crucial that we have an integrated system that gets it right.”
Caroline added: “From the start, the team at Eureka Solutions were extremely helpful and it was clear they had nDreams’ best interests at heart."
Eureka Solutions supports clients across sport, technology, hospitality, non-profit, wholesale distribution, ecommerce and other sectors.
