BGL’s CAS 360 Singapore turns one!

By BGL Update, CAS 360No Comments

BGL is proud to celebrate the 1st anniversary of its company secretarial software solution, CAS 360 Singapore.

The milestone comes just a week after BGL surpassed 800,000 companies managed by its CAS 360 software across Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. 

“I’m incredibly proud of the BGL Team and what they have achieved over the past 12 months,” said Ron Lesh, BGL’s Managing Director. The success of CAS 360 Singapore is a testament to their hard work and dedication. I also want to thank our clients for providing valuable feedback and helping drive the development of CAS 360 Singapore, which today supports over 120 firms, managing over 14,000 companies. A truly fantastic achievement by all.” 

Launched in late April 2022, CAS 360 Singapore is a complete company secretarial software solution and a huge time-saver for accounting firms and corporate service providers. With its powerful automation, CAS 360 provides workflows for managing common changes for companies and Annual Returns, saving clients time and increasing their productivity. In addition, CAS 360 was Singapore’s first cloud-based company secretarial software to integrate with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA)’s Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to provide seamless electronic Annual Return and updates of share information filing. 

Warren Renden, Head of CAS 360 at BGL, said: “The CAS 360 Team has delivered well beyond our greatest expectations, releasing an impressive 8 software updates in just 12 months, adding a range of new features including automated document reminders, support for foreign branch companies, Singapore company name change documents, a dedicated AML / CDD compliance workflow and much more. However, these features are just the tip of the iceberg. CAS 360 boasts an extensive feature set that continues to grow with new, client-focused features and enhancements now released every 2 weeks.”

“The future is bright indeed for CAS 360. We have big plans, including the official release of CAS 360 Hong Kong (currently in beta), the start of work on CAS 360 United Kingdom and further development in Australia and New Zealand. Certainly, watch this space!” concluded Lesh.
