Giving the 3rd party the benefit of the doubt, it's possible they are leveraging some CF interfaces already in place that perform some complex calculations or tasks that would be difficult or impossible to replicate w/solely the db. Maybe something involving various data sources, protocols, events, etc. It's difficult to say w/o more knowledge.
That said, I would think sql server agent, vbscript, stored procedures, etc. could be used to better control the process flow.
