MONTREAL, March 16, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ – Valsoft Corporation Inc. (“Valsoft”), a Montreal-based company specializing in the acquisition and development of industry-specific software businesses, is pleased to announce the successful acquisition of Vertical Software Inc. (“Vertical”).
Founded in 1983, Vertical is a business focused on providing innovative software and scale automation solutions for the grain industry. Since inception, the software suite has been used and operated by over 400 customers and thousands of users in over 30 states.
This marks Valsoft’s third acquisition in the Scale Automation space. In 2017, Valsoft completed the acquisitions of both CIS / SMSTurbo and Aldata Software in the truck scale automation and forestry space, respectively.
