JOHANNESBURG – CURVE Group has acquired Paperless Software Solutions, the South African-based specialist developer of integrated solutions.
This is an effort by Curve Group to enable businesses and end customers financially and digitally.
The acquisition combines the strengths of Paperless Software Solutions, with Curve Group’s global network, engineering and management resources.
It will fast track Paperless Software Solutions’ offering to its current clients and broaden its value proposition to future customers.
Paperless Software Solutions, founded over a decade ago, works with blue chip South African and multinational brands, with a significant presence in the mining and industrial sectors.
It offers services which take companies from being manual process and paper-consuming corporates to being able to benefit from highly efficient digital processes that deliver, collect, report on and analyse large volumes of data in a few clicks.
“We were progressive in our thinking and created a service that no one else was offering at the time. It has enabled us to deliver a niche service in key sectors and build a strong brand identity in the market,” says Patrick Schoeman, Managing Director of Paperless Software Solutions.
The company will continue to operate under Curve Systems, the entrepreneurial development arm of Curve Group, as a separate brand.
“Paperless is critical for the growth strategy in our technology business,” explains Fred Baumhardt, Chief Executive Officer of Curve Group.
Curve Group is approaching the final stages of expansion into Tanzania where it will take paperless technology into the region’s mines and heavy industries.
“We will be able to provide holistic and integrated solutions to address various issues that African companies face,” added Baumhardt.
