SYSPRO, a global provider of software solutions for manufacturing and distribution, has announced the acquisition of DATASCOPE, a U.S.-based Warehouse Management System (WMS) provider. The move marks SYSPRO’s third strategic acquisition in the past 12 months, following the purchases of NexSys and riteSOFT. The acquisition underscores SYSPRO’s strategy to deliver fully integrated, end-to-end ERP and WMS solutions to manufacturers and distributors worldwide.
A Longstanding Partnership Becomes One
DATASCOPE has spent over two decades developing a WMS platform designed specifically to integrate with SYSPRO’s ERP system. This deep technical and functional alignment ensures that customers will experience minimal disruption as the solutions become even more closely linked. According to SYSPRO, this acquisition delivers immediate operational continuity while expanding warehouse and inventory management capabilities for existing and future clients.
Expanding Capabilities in Warehouse Management
With DATASCOPE’s inclusion, SYSPRO gains advanced tools to help manufacturers and distributors enhance inventory visibility, tighten supply chain control, and boost operational efficiency. The integration of DATASCOPE’s WMS into SYSPRO’s ERP platform allows customers to manage warehouse operations within a single ecosystem. This consolidation promises faster speed-to-value for customers, reducing complexity and streamlining adoption across industries.
Benefits for Partners and Market Reach
SYSPRO’s partner network stands to benefit significantly from the acquisition. The pre-integrated WMS solution enables partners to provide more comprehensive offerings to their clients, strengthening their competitive positioning. It also opens doors to new market segments where robust warehouse management capabilities are a key differentiator.
Strategic Growth Under Advent’s Ownership
The acquisition is part of SYSPRO’s ongoing growth plan under the ownership of Advent, which focuses on deepening functional expertise while expanding operational scale. The company remains committed to its core manufacturing and distribution markets, balancing innovation with targeted acquisitions that complement its existing solutions. By bringing the DATASCOPE team in-house, SYSPRO gains not only a product but also a pool of expertise to accelerate its roadmap.
Leadership Perspectives on the Deal
“DATASCOPE has been a long-standing strategic partner, with a solution built to complement and enhance the SYSPRO ERP experience,” said Jaco Maritz, CEO of SYSPRO. “This acquisition strengthens our ability to offer an end-to-end, purpose-built digital manufacturing experience that simplifies warehouse and supply chain operations without added complexity.” DATASCOPE’s founder and president, Anton Jurgens, echoed the sentiment, noting that joining SYSPRO enables the company to scale its impact, innovate more rapidly, and extend its reach to a global customer base.
Maintaining Focus on Industry-Specific Solutions
SYSPRO and DATASCOPE share a commitment to delivering out-of-the-box solutions tailored to industry needs. By combining resources, they aim to accelerate the delivery of digital manufacturing capabilities that support both operational excellence and strategic growth. The acquisition is expected to deepen customer trust in SYSPRO’s ability to act as a long-term digital transformation partner.
The acquisition of DATASCOPE represents another step in SYSPRO’s mission to deliver a comprehensive, integrated platform for manufacturing and distribution businesses. With a proven WMS solution already embedded in its ERP ecosystem, SYSPRO is positioned to offer customers and partners enhanced efficiency, control, and scalability. Pending customary closing conditions, the deal sets the stage for a future where warehouse and enterprise resource planning operate seamlessly together to meet the evolving demands of global supply chains.
