History
editFormation
editRevalize was founded on June 29, 2021, by TA Associates ("TA"), a global growth private equity firm, and ST6, a consortium of software operating executives, with the aim to establish a provider of sector-specific software and SaaS solutions for the manufacturing industry.[3]
The company's portfolio was established through the acquisition of multiple technologies:
Configure One CPQ and FPX Selling Cloud for sales configuration, PIPE-FLO for fluid flow analysis, and Lighting Analysts for a photometric analysis.[4] The portfolio was further influenced by Hg Capital through a merger and acquisition operation, which contributed to Revalize's acquisition-driven expansion within the manufacturing software solutions sector.[5][6]
Revalize's acquisition of AutoQuotes ("AQ"), from Luminate Capital Partners, a technology company specializing in the development of software for the food equipment and supplies (FES) industry, marked its official formation as a unified technology company.[7] This acquisition introduced Jim Contardi, the former CEO of AutoQuotes and Avitru, as CEO of Revalize, to establish a portfolio of industry-specific software revenue operations solutions[8]
Acquisitions
editIn August 2021, Revalize expanded its portfolio by acquiring four additional companies:
- Attainia Holdings, a provider of software for planning, budgeting, forecasting, and tracking healthcare capital assets throughout their lifecycle.
- BCA Technologies, a company providing software solutions for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sectors.
- LeadMethod, a developer of lead management software designed to improve the sales process for manufacturers and their distributors.
- MicroD, a company offering digital marketing and web design services, as well as eCommerce and product visualization solutions for the home furnishings industry.[9]
In October 2021, Revalize expanded into continental Europe with the acquisition of Sofon, a Netherlands-based guided selling, and CPQ software, from Main Capital Partners (“Main”),[10][11]
In November 2021, Revalize further expanded its portfolio in the manufacturing software industry by acquiring three additional European companies, incorporating five respective brands.[12] The acquisitions included:
- PROCAD Group, formerly headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany, known for its comprehensive product lifecycle management (PLM) and product data management (PDM) solutions, serving over 1,350 customers with more than 250 employees across 12 locations. The group was formed from the merger of PROCAD with Keytech and ACATEC, which added onto Revalize's products offerings in PLM and CPQ solutions for manufacturers.[13]
- SpecPage, previously based in Kussnacht, Switzerland, a developer of PLM and quality assurance solutions tailored for recipe-based, process manufacturers, focusing on the complex aspects of product labeling in global competition for consumer packaged goods (CPG).[14]
- TENADO, acquired from Maxburg Capital Partners and originally located in Bochum, Germany, a provider of computer-aided design (CAD) software for various sectors including metal and wood fabrication, mechanical engineering, fire protection, and traffic management, with more than 30,000 active users.[15]
In October 2023, Revalize broadened its capabilities in the foodservice equipment and supplies (FES) industry by acquiring Kochman Consultants, Ltd. (KCL), a provider of commercial foodservice design software.[16]
