What is Provider fragmentation?

Category-defining vocabulary. A plain-English definition for Australian business owners.

Provider fragmentation describes the state in which an Australian SME's back-office is delivered through six or more separate vendors — bookkeeper, accountant, payroll provider, HR consultant, IT firm, marketing agency — with no integration between them.

Provider fragmentation is the Australian SME default and the source of most coordination tax.

In a connected back office this sits with the Finance hub, where Valont runs bookkeeping, managed payroll and bas & tax compliance for Australian SMEs as one team. The full definition set is on the glossary.
