From Inception to Global Recognition
In 2008, a group of visionaries embarked on a bold journey to revolutionise the way businesses operated. Bileeta Ltd, a pioneering Sri Lankan technology company, was established with the mission of humanising technology and empowering organisations with innovative digital solutions. This mission led to the creation of Entution, Sri Lanka’s first-ever cloud-based ERP platform powered by business process architecture — developed entirely by local talent.
- At the time of its launch, Entution was ahead of its time, offering a groundbreaking solution for enterprises seeking to harness the power of digitalisation.
- Bileeta’s innovative approach to ERP development was driven by a deep understanding of the sector’s challenges and a commitment to creating a product that could compete with the best in the world.
The company’s dedication to innovation and digitalisation has been recognised globally, with Bileeta expanding its global footprint by partnering with leading international channel partners and establishing regional offices in Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines. These strategic moves have strengthened Bileeta’s presence in Asia and enabled the company to serve its growing international customer base better.
Breaking Boundaries: Achievements and Milestones
Over the years, Bileeta has achieved several milestones, including the launch of Entution ERP in 2014 and Entution Vesta, a Health Commodity and Vaccine Information Management System, in 2018. The latter has been a game-changer in the world of healthcare, transforming lifesaving medicine and vaccine distribution across national healthcare systems.
