Access ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), a division of Loughborough-headquartered The Access Group, a provider of business management software to small and mid-market organisations, has acquired ProspectSoft Ltd, set up over 25 years ago to provide organisations operating stock management with an effective CRM solution, geared toward working within the B2B product supply chain.
Access acquired Unleashed in 2020, a key integration partner for ProspectSoft. This latest acquisition brings together three organisations to offer customers a broader range of integrated ERP and business management solutions.
Brendan Flattery, Managing Director, ERP, said: “Access’s decision to acquire ProspectSoft reflects our desire to offer market leading software solutions to key market sectors, specifically to organisations involved in the manufacture, wholesale and distribution of B2B products.
“ProspectSoft operates in the world of stock management, offering a highly effective CRM solution, geared toward organisations working in the B2B product supply chain. ProspectSoft is a business that shares our passion for helping our customers achieve their goals and we’re delighted to bring ProspectSoft into our ERP Division.”
Andy Ardron, ProspectSoft founder and CEO, said: “This is fantastic news for our business, people and customers. Just like Access, we’re passionate about delivering market-specific technology that solves real-life problems for our customers.
“Bringing together ProspectSoft and Unleashed, as well as introducing a greater breadth of business management tools such as HR, Payroll, internal communications and more, gives us the opportunity to support our customers even better, and reach more customers through Access’s growing global platform. I, Stuart, Tanya and the team are excited to be part of this next evolution and we can’t wait to join Access ERP.
“I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Maven Capital Partners, who have played a big part in our success over the last five years – from the initial funding of our management buyout in 2017 to support the ongoing growth of ProspectSoft Ltd and financing a spin-out venture (Zing Dev Ltd) in 2019. We now look forwards to further accelerating our growth and success from within the Access Group.”
