FleetGO Group, a leading provider of logistics software solutions, has acquired Dutch software provider ScoreTrace with the support of Main Capital Partners. This marks the fourth strategic acquisition since Main Capital Partners’ initial investment, which led to the formation of FleetGO Group. The integration of ScoreTrace aims to enhance FleetGO’s product suite, benefiting existing and future customers.
Strengthening market position
Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Alphen aan den Rijn, the Netherlands, ScoreTrace specializes in TMS (Transport Management System) software for optimizing tipper transport operations. The company is a well-established player in the Dutch tipper market, offering comprehensive solutions for transport, contract, and consignment note management, as well as innovative WMS (Warehouse Management System) solutions.
FleetGO Group provides an extensive suite of software solutions for transport management, warehousing, route optimization, telematics, and fleet management. With a strong presence in the DACH and Benelux regions, the addition of ScoreTrace’s cloud-based platform aligns with FleetGO’s strategy of offering a holistic solution encompassing transport and order management, warehousing, asset management, route planning, telematics, tacho compliance, and fleet management. Notably, ScoreTrace’s tipper TMS, contract management, digital consignment note tracking, CO2 tracking via Formklub and Smartklub, and WMS solutions complement FleetGO’s offerings. The acquisition expands FleetGO’s customer base by entering the Dutch tipper market as a new vertical. The combined group employs over 150 full-time professionals and serves more than 6,500 customers.
Strategic synergies and future growth
Ronald van Tiel, CEO FleetGO Group, stated: “ScoreTrace is a perfect addition to FleetGO Group’s product range. The TMS and adjacent solutions fill a crucial gap, enabling us to offer a full solution suite to tipper customers. The contract, consignment note, and CO2 tracking solutions will further enhance the existing FleetGO offering to our customers.”
John van der Gaag and Michel van Krimpen, founders and owners of ScoreTrace, added: “Joining forces with FleetGO allows ScoreTrace to advance to the next level. This integration combines two leading software providers, offering substantial potential and enabling us to maximize our capabilities within a larger group. We believe the synergies created will provide significant added value to our customers and ensure long-term innovation and continuity of our products.”
Sven van Berge, Managing Partner & Head of DACH at Main Capital Partners, commented: “The acquisition of ScoreTrace by FleetGO is a strategic and intelligent move. ScoreTrace’s solutions will expand FleetGO’s portfolio, add a new customer vertical, while also gaining experienced professionals who will strengthen FleetGO’s market position.”
