Antares Vision Group Acquires SmartPoint Technologies
Antares Vision Group has acquired SmartPoint Technologies, an Indiansoftware product development company that builds powerful and intuitive software solutions.
SmartPoint, founded in 2010 by three entrepreneurs and headquartered in Chennai, offers diverse services and solutions to clients in more than 30 countries. It helps its customers to enhance their business prospects through software enhancement and development options in the IT arena. In Fiscal Year 2022–23 (year end March), Smart Point had 124 employees in India and Germany, and revenues of approximately €3.9 million, of which about 90 percent were generated with rfxcel.
“We have been working with SmartPoint for many years,” said rfxcel CEO Glenn Abood. “With this acquisition, we are internalizing very skilled and talented people, with exceptional expertise and specific abilities that match our interests. SmartPoint’s software development team has been working together for a long time and their know-how is a valuable asset for Antares Vision Group as we continue to invest in technological development to support our growth and to drive the innovation and digitalization process of supply chains.”
Strategic rationale
• SmartPoint has proven expertise in pharmaceutical track and trace business verticals, and its software developments are directly implemented within the IT systems of top pharmaceutical companies that are rfxcel customers.
• Its software development team will support rfxcel’s robust future growth.
• The acquisition is an opportunity for rfxcel to prioritize software initiatives.
• SmartPoint has approximately 20 full-time staff whose capabilities could be useful to other AV Group subsidiaries.
• Having stronger in-house capacity will allow rfxcel to better negotiate with other software development companies for any excess work.
• The deal prevents rfxcel’s competitors from acquiring the company and its know-how.
AV Group was assisted in the acquisition by Gandhi & Associates as legal consultants and Prakash Kotak for financial due diligence.
