SYSPRO acquires riteSOFT to boost digital manufacturing suite
The deal aims to enhance SYSPRO's smart manufacturing software suite for global customers in the manufacturing and distribution sectors, deepening its industry-specific offerings and simplifying operations.
Acquisition details
riteSOFT brings almost two decades of experience and a global customer base, with its riteSCAN warehouse management software already integrated into SYSPRO's Digital Manufacturing Suite.
The acquisition follows a long-standing partnership between the companies, and will now enable further embedding of riteSOFT's automation tools directly within SYSPRO's systems.
From now, SYSPRO customers will be able to access riteSOFT's capabilities as a fully integrated part of SYSPRO's core software, rather than a separate add-on. This is aimed at driving greater operational efficiency and supporting faster deployments for both new and existing customers worldwide.
Product and strategy impact
Suzanne Colquhoun, Chief Product Officer at SYSPRO, said the move expands the company's solution portfolio and develops new opportunities for partners to deliver additional value, particularly around warehouse and shopfloor automation.
The acquisition also follows SYSPRO's previous purchase of NexSys in late 2024, indicating a continued focus on growth and digital transformation for customers under its owners, Advent. Bringing the riteSOFT team into SYSPRO is expected to accelerate joint development and strengthen support for customers in all regions. "This acquisition is about aligning our visions and delivering an enhanced, streamlined experience for our customers," said Jaco Maritz, CEO of SYSPRO. "riteSOFT has been a trusted partner for many years, and bringing their team and technology fully into the SYSPRO family allows us to deliver a unified, end-to-end digital manufacturing suite that scales with our customers' ambitions."
Bruce Hagberg, Founder and CEO of riteSOFT, commented on the decision to join SYSPRO: "Joining SYSPRO is a natural next step for riteSOFT. We share a commitment to helping manufacturers operate more efficiently and competitively. As part of SYSPRO, we can expand our reach, accelerate innovation, and better support our customers around the world."
Global customer benefits
The transaction closed in June 2025 after the fulfilment of regulatory and closing requirements. Financial terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed.
Current and prospective SYSPRO customers are expected to benefit from a more unified technology stack and the alignment of product development plans, aiming to deliver improved efficiency and value with reduced complexity across warehouse and production environments.
riteSOFT specialises in developing automation solutions that support efficiency through data capture functionality for small and mid-size businesses, with riteSCAN providing mobile warehouse management capabilities tailored for SYSPRO's ERP users.
SYSPRO's approach enables its customer base, which spans more than 60 countries and over 16,000 businesses, to maintain operational flexibility and support digital transformation efforts on a global scale.
The integration of riteSOFT products into SYSPRO's offering is seen as part of a strategy to further develop digital manufacturing solutions that are tightly focused on the needs of the manufacturing and distribution sectors. Both companies expect this to assist partners and customers in responding to evolving business and technology requirements worldwide.

Term-limited Trump has $340 million war chest to spend on political goals
The super PAC's exact cash on hand is US$196.1m, according to the filing. There is no precedent for politicians so aggressively raising money for their own entities when they do not have a campaign to use it for. In the first half of 2013, a similar political group supporting a term-limited Barack Obama, Priorities USA, raised just $356,000. As of that June, it held $3.4 million, less than 2% of the cash on hand for Trump's super PAC. The money raised by Maga Inc. during the first six months of the year is almost twice the amount collected by the Republican National Committee, which is subject to contribution limits. Yass donated US$15m to the super PAC, and Horowitz and Andreessen combined to donate an additional US$11m. That Trump is raising so much money for his group has confounded some Republicans. Some of Trump's most loyal supporters have argued that he should try to run for a third term, despite it being unconstitutional. Trump's aides have argued that he would be foolish not to accept money that is essentially for the taking, and that the assets can be used to target Trump's rivals, beginning with Representative Thomas Massie, (Republican-Kentucky), whom Maga Inc. is attacking. Massie broke with Trump on the President's decision to bomb Iran and on his domestic bill. With a US$200m war chest, Maga Inc. figures to be a big part of Republican primaries, making Trump's endorsements in those races all the more important. The money is sure to be spent on advertising to back Trump's endorsed candidates. The sum raised by Trump's group has scrambled the Republican fundraising landscape and worried some conservatives. Trump's group, not those of the Republican leadership in the House and Senate, will most likely be the biggest spender in the 2026 Midterm elections, weakening the power of allies like Speaker Mike Johnson and Senator John Thune, the Majority Leader. Johnson's and Thune's groups, the Congressional and Senate Leadership Funds, reported holding just US$32.7m and US$29.7m as of June 30. Super PACs had to file reports with the FEC by today detailing fundraising and spending activity from January to June. Perhaps the only group that could rival the influence of Trump's super PAC is Fairshake, a super PAC supported by the crypto industry that entered July with about US$140m on hand, filings show. Maga Inc. also has an allied political non-profit group that is not required to disclose its donors or total donations but can spend some of its money on political advocacy. The New York Times reported in May that Maga Inc. and the non-profit had raised about US$400m since last November's election. Support from Musk was never guaranteed. He initially pledged to Trump that he would spend about US$100m on the President's political operation, but his eventual contributions were far smaller — just US$5m. Musk's relationship with Trump has recently blown up, and Musk now considers himself unaligned politically. The Tesla chief also made contributions to the Senate and Congressional Leadership Funds, the filings reveal. Musk donated US$5m to each group a few weeks after his public blow-up with Trump, seemingly a signal that he planned to back Republicans in the Midterms. A few days later, after Trump's budget bill passed, he pledged to leave the Republican Party and start a rival entity. He has made little headway in that work. The filings also reveal that Musk spent about US$45m through his super PAC, America PAC, on a Wisconsin judicial race. Two-thirds of the money that Musk put into the super PAC in the first half of the year went to incentives for people who had signed or promoted a petition hawked by the super PAC, according to its filing. Musk's chosen candidate lost badly. Other significant donations in the first half of 2025 revealed this week included US$10m from Yass to a super PAC supporting Vivek Ramaswamy, who is running for governor of Ohio; US$1m from Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison to support Senator Lindsey Graham, (R-South Carolina), a longtime friend; and millions from Paul Singer, John Paulson, and a group backed by Miriam Adelson to another anti-Massie group, donations that Musk deemed 'interesting'.

SYSPRO Helps Aluminium Industries Grow By 250%
Press Release – SYSPRO SYSPROs advanced job management and inventory control features also delivered significant operational benefits. The team can now create and manage accurate bills of materials, allocate labour effectively, and better schedule production to meet Australian manufacturer credits SYSPRO ERP with supporting multidivisional expansion and operational efficiency Aluminium Industries, a growing Australian manufacturing group, has reported a 250 per cent increase in business growth after implementing SYSPRO ERP, which is purpose-built for manufacturers. The transformation has enabled the business to scale rapidly across multiple divisions, streamline operations and deliver consistent improvements in customer service, without needing to increase its administrative headcount. Melbourne-based Aluminium Industries, initially an aluminium supply business, expanded with the acquisition of Pivotech, a manufacturer of shower screens. This growth led to a need to replace its legacy finance system, QuickBooks, which lacked the necessary functionality to manage multiple business units. 'We needed a new solution to run our business, and SYSPRO has delivered far beyond expectations,' said Lee Brown, Chief Technical Officer at Aluminium Industries. 'Its ability to support our growth ambitions while managing the complexity of multiple divisions has been quite impressive.' Jacob Kowalewski, General Manager of Unbound Systems, a division of Aluminium Industries, explained the key drivers behind the company's decision to choose SYSPRO. 'We were looking for a system that could manage manufacturing requirements natively, without needing bolt-ons. SYSPRO was built on manufacturing principles and could manage multiple brands under a single business entity with ease,' Kowalewski said. 'Just as importantly, SYSPRO's business object layer gave us the flexibility to integrate custom-built software like configurators and CRMs directly into the ERP environment.' One of the most significant gains was achieved by automating order management through an e-commerce portal integrated with SYSPRO. This eliminated manual processing, removed administrative bottlenecks, and enabled real-time order flow direct from its customers to the factory floor. These efficiency gains have led to extraordinary growth. 'We've tripled the size of the business without having to add more admin staff, which is a huge efficiency gain,' said Brown. SYSPRO's advanced job management and inventory control features also delivered significant operational benefits. The team can now create and manage accurate bills of materials, allocate labour effectively, and better schedule production to meet delivery commitments. 'With SYSPRO's job system, we've gained better control over manufacturing, cost management, and labour scheduling. We've also tightened up inventory accuracy, reduced stock on hand, and improved cash flow,' Brown added. SYSPRO's inventory traceability enables customer-facing teams to rely on accurate stock data, thereby improving order confidence and service levels. 'Customers have noticed the difference,' according to Kowalewski. 'Orders are on time, accurate, and not getting lost in the system and SYSPRO has made that possible.' Looking ahead, Aluminium Industries plans to pursue additional acquisitions, growth that SYSPRO is expected to facilitate seamlessly. 'SYSPRO is our final ERP move,' according to Brown. 'We made this transition a few years ago, and I can't see a future where SYSPRO doesn't support our ongoing expansion.' James Robinson, Head of Services for Asia Pacific at SYSPRO, said that the partnership with Aluminium Industries is a strong example of how Australian manufacturers can use ERP to accelerate growth. 'We're thrilled to be working with such a dynamic and forward-thinking manufacturer like Aluminium Industries. Their ability to scale operations, embrace innovation and leverage technology to improve efficiency and service delivery aligns perfectly with SYSPRO's mission. It's exciting to support Aluminium Industries continue to grow and lead in key markets,' Robinson said.
