Reflecting on 20 Years of Achievement
The past 20 years have been packed with significant achievements and milestones. From innovative solutions to expanding our global footprint, Progressive TSL has consistently pushed the boundaries of what is possible.
Starting as specialists in finance systems, Progressive TSL has grown significantly since its inception. Our journey began in 2004 when Marianne Walcot and Chris Walcot founded the company with a focus on delivering finance system solutions. Our origins are in the upstream oil and gas sector, but over the last 20 years, we’ve expanded our client base both across the wider energy industry and into other asset intensive industries. We now support clients working in midstream and downstream, carbon capture and hydrogen production, electricity generation & distribution, mining, transport, and engineering services We build long-term, well-supported relationships with our clients, which is why we are highly referenceable in the industries we serve.
From origins in Finance, we have broadened our expertise to cover the full breadth of ERP, Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) systems.
Embracing Innovation as Early Adopters
As an agile company, we constantly explore the latest technological trends and how they can be leveraged to maximise business performance. We have always been at the forefront of technological advancements, recognising the value of embracing innovation to drive business growth and efficiency.
As early adopters, we lead the way in transitioning our clients from traditional on-premise solutions to Software as a Service (SaaS), becoming a SaaS-first company. This strategic shift allows us to implement cloud-based solutions that are future-proof, scalable, and secure, ensuring our clients benefit from the latest advancements in technology.
We understand the importance of mobility in today’s fast-paced business environment. Our solutions are designed to be accessible from anywhere, at any time, enabling our clients to manage their operations seamlessly on the go.
We have developed innovative tools such as ProInt and ProSync which streamline workflows, integrating and optimising synchronisation across various platforms.
Progressive’s ProBI tool enables our clients to extract, process, consolidate and interrogate data. This flexible reporting tool enables users to view this data in the format they want via a flexible KPI dashboard.
