ProspectSoft, a Headington-based customer relationship management (CRM) platform for wholesalers, has been acquired by The Access Group.

PropsectSoft’s CRM platform helps organisations operating stock management with an effective customer relationship portal, tailored towards the B2B product supply chain.

Brendan Flattery, managing director of ERP at Access, 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.”

The acquisition follows The Access Group’s buyout of Unleashed, a key integration partner for ProspectSoft. The latest acquisition brings the three businesses together, broadening the range of integrated enterprise resource planning and business management solutions they can offer.

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’ growing global platform.”
