AMCS Acquires US-Based DesertMicro For Undisclosed Sum

AMCS, supplier of integrated software and vehicle technology for the waste, recycling and resource industries, has announced the acquisition of US-based SaaS solutions provider for the waste industry, DesertMicro, for an undisclosed sum.

DesertMicro has built up an impressive customer base over the last 20 years. In total, the acquisition will add over 250 customers from across the US and Canada to AMCS’ existing 1600 global customer list.

DesertMicro’s has a suite of cloud software designed specifically for the waste and recycling industry, which includes a highly developed and fully-embedded payment channel.

Commenting on the acquisition, AMCS CEO, Jimmy Martin, said: “The waste and recycling industry is going through a massive transition. Companies are re-positioning themselves in the growing, more circular economy. These organizations also have an increasing appetite to digitalise their business and automate business processes.

“Going forward, I am confident they will benefit from an increased level of support and access to even broader and more powerful technology offerings, designed to improve their operational efficiency and support their plans for future growth.”

“It requires software companies like AMCS, with a certain scale, to be able to make the investments needed to support this transformation. With the addition of DesertMicro to AMCS, we have the opportunity to further strengthen our global footprint, expand our product portfolio and continue to invest in our state of-the-art AMCS Platform.”

Discussing the direction of the company in North America, Michael Winton, President of the region said: “I would like to take this opportunity to welcome DesertMicro’s customers and employees to AMCS and assure them that they will experience a seamless transition and a high level of support from our global organization.

“Going forward, I am confident they will benefit from an increased level of support and access to even broader and more powerful technology offerings, designed to improve their operational efficiency and support their plans for future growth.”

The acquisition follows the recent announcement that AMCS had successfully completed another round of investment from Insight Venture Partners and Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF).

In January 2018, AMCS completed the acquisition of Brady Recycling solutions from Brady PLC and in recent years has completed 8 other key acquisitions.
