According to Fortune Business Insights, the global ERP software market is expected to grow significantly, rising from USD 92.6 billion in 2025 to USD 229.8 billion by 2032, with Malta's market projected to reach USD 8.86 million by 2025.
This growth is anticipated to continue at a steady annual rate of 4.26 per cent from 2025 to 2030. Notably, the Middle East & Africa segment is predicted to nearly double, increasing from USD 5.68 billion to USD 10.20 billion, highlighting the opportunities that onpoint aims to capitalise on in this expanding market.
Stephen Abela didn't set out to become Malta's quiet bridge to African enterprise software. But seven years after co-founding the company, that's precisely what he has become.
The Malta-based ERP specialist has carved an unusual niche: taking Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, software typically deployed across European boardrooms, and adapting it for Ghana's cocoa exporters, Nigeria's logistics giants, and other African enterprises hungry for world-class financial systems.
"We're not just installing software," Mr Abela explains from onpoint's expanded headquarters. "The aim is to translate European compliance standards into African business realities."
In many African industries, finance and operations are still fragmented across spreadsheets, legacy systems, or ad-hoc tools. This creates inefficiencies, compliance risks, and barriers to scaling. Onpoint’s mission is to close this gap by delivering ERP systems that bring global best practices into these contexts.
The approach is grounded: standardised multi-currency finance, audit-ready controls, and industry-ready templates that can morph to the needs of FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods), healthcare, manufacturing, or professional services, paired with cloud-native agility.
As the global ERP market races toward USD 230 billion by 2032, with Africa's segment set to double, onpoint occupies prime real estate: the trusted gateway where the working European framework meets African dynamism.
Though Stephen Abela is the steady hand guiding the vision, the real story is of a company that marries Malta’s governance heft with African dynamism. Positioned this way, onpoint is emerging not only as a capable system provider but also as a trusted partner in financial growth for enterprises across Europe and Africa.
