Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software specialist Cooper Software, which is backed by YFM Equity Partners (YFM), is building its reach in central Europe with the acquisition of German-based ERP consulting firm and IFS Applications specialist u:benit.
The acquisition of the German-based business, which will trade as Cooper Software GmbH, is another step in the company’s strategy to expand internationally following a multi-million pound investment by YFM in November 2021. It will enable Cooper Software to meet growing demand for IFS consulting and implementation services in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (D-A-CH).
The founder of u:benit, Benedikt Stallmann, takes on the role of general manager D-A-CH to continue the expansion of the company.
