Opkey, a no-code test automation platform, has secured $47 million in a Series B funding round led by PeakSpan Capital, with participation from existing investors. The company plans to use the funding to advance its cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) transformation solutions and strengthen its product’s AI-driven features.
The Role of AI in Opkey’s Solutions
Opkey is a no-code platform tailored for Salesforce users, enabling them to automate the testing of Salesforce applications without requiring coding expertise. Its core mission is to make the testing process simpler, more efficient, and accessible for Salesforce users.
Key features of Opkey include:
- Pre-built test library: With over 30,000 pre-built tests, users can quickly implement their testing programs within weeks.
- ERP-specific AI assistant: Opkey’s AI assistant, “Wilfried,” is powered by a business-specific large language model (LLM) designed to guide users through AI-powered automation.
- Cross-browser testing: The platform supports mobile and cloud-based test executions.
- No-code functionality: Opkey allows users without coding experience to automate tests seamlessly.
This investment follows a trend of significant financial backing within the Salesforce DevOps space in 2024, including $8.2 million raised by Testsigma, $54 million by Odaseva, and the acquisition of Flexagon by a private equity firm. These developments indicate continued confidence in Salesforce’s ecosystem, even as discussions arise about its future as a leading CRM provider.
Opkey’s Future Plans
With the latest funding, Opkey is set to further enhance its product offerings and market presence. Its strategic focus areas include:
- Product development: Expanding AI capabilities and increasing support for additional ERP platforms.
- Market expansion: Scaling sales and marketing teams to strengthen its global reach, with particular emphasis on expanding operations in Noida and Bangalore.
- Research and development: Leading innovation in the emerging “ERP Ops” category, focusing on modernizing ERP systems and driving successful ERP transformation programs.
According to Pankaj Goel, CEO and co-founder of Opkey, “This funding will allow us to further enhance our technology and expand our reach, helping more organizations seamlessly migrate their legacy ERP systems to the cloud while ensuring continuous quality and performance.”
