Irish software group Glantus acquires US company in deal valued at $5m

Irish analytics software company Glantus has continued on its acquisitive streak, buying California-headquartered JPD Financial to further automate credit recovery solutions offered to businesses.

The acquisition, valued at $5 million (€4.6 million), creates a business which now has revenues of about $12 million, Glantus said, adding that JPD is a “trusted partner” to Fortune 1,000 companies. Prior to the JPD acquisition, Glantus had turnover of about $5 million, the company told The Irish Times.

Glantus, founded in 2014, provides specialist solutions to the education, retail, construction and financial services sectors. The Dublin-headquartered company has offices in London and New York and has been expanding over the past few years.

Last year it acquired UK business intelligence group Dynistics for £1.75 million (€1.6 million) while in 2018 it acquired New York based data analytics company Hedgehog Analytics for an undisclosed sum.
