Montreal — Supply chain management software company Tecsys Inc. acquired Pointforce Inc., a Markham, ON-based provider of software to the gift and home decor industry distribution channel. (Pointforce and George Little Management market Pointforce's Order-Stream order-writing service in the U.S.) "We made the decision … to pursue a multiple platform technology by adding a distribution-focused Windows offering to our portfolio," said Tecysys co-CEO Dave Brereton. PointForce uses the Windows solution, while Tecsys is focused on Linux/Unix. "The two companies are very similar in their business models," said Pointforce president Kevin Tribe. "We expect this will be a smooth transition and a great opportunity for us to leverage our mutual strengths."
