About us

Bringing it all together

Our vision is to become Australia’s most loved ICT platform for MSPs.
Our early goal is to focus on wholesale aggregation for Small to Medium service providers.
The platform architecture can develop into a full-featured marketplace so that larger MSPs and Systems Integrators can leverage the technology with a ‘bring your own supplier’ approach.
Virtualplatform was originally conceived back in 2018 to support our co-founder’s first MSP business. He recognised the challenges that inhibit scale and worked to automate where possible. The solution has developed to maturity since. Interfacing with best-in-breed suppliers using APIs, he created a core software engine that now manages the procurement lifecycle, service and status monitoring, notifications, third-party application integrations (e.g. AP/ERP/PSA/ticketing etc), rebilling and much more.
We launched Virtualplatform as a standalone business in 2023 to help all service providers benefit from our focus on enabling growth and adding customer value.

Why do I need MSPaaS?

Our technology marketplace is an online hub where service providers can easily qualify, compare, purchase and manage best-in-breed ICT products and services including network access tails, backup, voice, hosting and so much more.
MSPs are underserved. For smaller businesses, this complexity restricts growth.

We help MSPs sell more

Virtualplatform is a cutting-edge, wholesale-only ICT services aggregation marketplace, designed specifically for MSPs.

Our API-first single-view platform streamlines and automates qualifying, comparing, purchasing, supporting and billing the products at the core of managed solutions, enabling MSPs to easily grow and scale their business.

By prioritizing convenience, automation, and exceptional value-add, we are working towards widespread adoption by service providers looking to offer differentiation to their clients.

Furthermore, services can be delivered on a single port, although redundancy is recommended – thereby reducing interconnectivity costs.

We call this MSPaaS

The problem as we see it

MSPs are underserved.

We are ‘wholesale only’ and won’t compete with you.

MSPs require a wide mix of suppliers to build the solutions customers value.

Traditionally this has meant significant procurement, management and cost overheads as a result of manual process, inefficient supplier interaction, onerous commercials and the monthly pain of billing.

Supplier portals, when available, rarely offer an end-to-end solution, and require significant enablement to use effectively. For smaller MSPs this complexity is prohibitive and restricts growth.

The opportunity

Traditional providers are struggling to catch up with automation. The margin squeeze resulting from commoditisation, accelerated by nbnco, makes innovation difficult.

Virtualplatform is a next generation ICT aggregator.

Our mature digital marketplace, agility, automation and experience deliver competitive advantage for MSPs.

Our partner network is a community of technology leaders with a common goal. Growth.

Hero features at every turn

New telephone number picker

Use our simple lookup tool to quickly identify the unique number your customer wants from the available national pool in moments. Use simple drop-downs to select each individual digit and category e.g. virtual mobile, geo local, 13/1300/1800 etc – and the wizard quickly finds the unique number you want.

PSA-Lite

Virtualplatform helps boost efficiency, customer collaboration and profitability for managed service providers by offering PSA similar features like service health notifications, diagnostics, device monitoring, ticketing etc all at no extra cost.

Multi-provider access qualification

Enter your chosen site address and our address lookup logic will perform its magic and show a growing selection of prices from access providers either connected or willing to build services to that location. No need to waste time and go through the order process to the very end to get a price – you put in an address and Virtualplatform will give you answers straight away. Just imagine the upsell opportunity this creates – no need to qualify in multiple Telco portals.
