Business operations
QPR’s purpose is to help customers achieve more with less – to drive process and business transparency, ensure their compliance, and create actionable intelligence for sustainable outcomes. We innovate, develop, and sell software for analyzing, monitoring, and modeling organizations’ operations while adding value to customers’ existing knowledge capital. In addition, we offer our customers a wide range of consulting services.
Outlook for 2022
The exceptional circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic continue to affect new customer acquisition in early 2022. However, there are signs of customer decision making normalizing in the procurement of Process Mining software.
Based on the growing number of outstanding offers, recurring customer revenue, and consulting booking levels, QPR expects its net sales to grow in 2022 (2021: EUR 9,140 thousand) supported by strong growth in SaaS revenue.
Due to a one-time software license transaction worth approximately EUR 0.5 million recognized in the first quarter of 2020, we expect the first quarter net sales and results to fall short of the comparison period.
