A New Zealand-based company has been purchased by a tech company that counts Leicester City Football Club, Cineworld, and Domino's Pizza among its customers and recently secured the keys to its new £ 22 million headquarters in Loughborough.
Unleashed, which provides inventory management software for the production, wholesale, and distribution markets across Australasia, the UK, the US, and EMEA, has been picked up by the Access Company. Currently, the acquisition is going through regulatory approvals and is expected to finish in the coming weeks.
Unleashed was founded by Greg Murphy more than ten years ago and has a team of more than 100 people in New Zealand, Australia and the UK. The Unleashed acquisition gives the company additional revenues of around £ 9.6 million.
Brendan Flattery, Managing Director, Access ERP, said: "Our ERP business supports clients with end-to-end Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) across online retail, warehousing, distribution, construction and manufacturing in the UK, EU, Australia, New Zealand and the US."
The addition of Unleashed to the Access portfolio gives us a tremendous opportunity to expand our presence and potential across these markets, with the global ERP market projected to hit $49.5bn in the next five years.
"Our integrated approach to software, processes, and data enables organizations across the globe to benefit from clarity and control of their inventory, from source to sale. We are really excited to be welcoming Gareth, Lisa Miles-Heal, and the rest of the Unleashed team into the Access Group.”
"Joining Access gives Unleashed a new level of expertise in the provision of integrated software solutions, an acceleration of our product development and gives our customers the opportunity to explore a wider range of ERP and business management solutions from a single provider," Unleashed chief executive Gareth Berry said.
We set out to give companies the ability to make, handle, and transfer goods better over a decade ago. We believe that 'Good Products Matter' and have promoted consumer choice by creating the best software with a great team to help our customers achieve their business potential.
"Our story continues but in an enhanced way as part of The Access Group, and we are really excited to be joining Brendan and the team as part of the Access ERP business."
