It delivers innovative software solutions and services to companies with complex warehouse, distribution, and packaging challenges, assists with their data collection requirements for track and trace and inventory optimization through their supply chains, and delivers seamless integration of information to their ERP systems. ACSIS has had zero churn among its Top 10 customers, which include DuPont, Cintas, BIMBO, Hershey and Coca-Cola. AVG will retain ACSIS’ highly experienced and proven executive team.
“The ACSIS acquisition will further strengthen our unique end-to-end solution for the digital supply chain,” rfxcel CEO Glenn Abood said. “It will provide new customers and allow us to enter into new industry verticals, as well as into the relevant returnable asset management market, extending our presence in the United States.”
