Fredericton-based Remsoft has acquired forest management software company INFLOR, adding a forest management system (FMS) to its portfolio of digital products for the forestry industry.

The companies announced the acquisition in a press release Friday but did not reveal the financial terms.

Remsoft, which provides planning, optimization and analytics software for the forestry sector, said the acquisition is intended to strengthen its forest intelligence platform by integrating forest asset management with higher-level planning and decision-making tools. Based in Brazil, INFLOR has more than 20 years of experience developing enterprise-grade systems used to manage forests, silviculture activities, certifications and regulatory compliance.

“INFLOR is a natural fit for Remsoft,” said Remsoft CEO Kevin Lim in the statement. “Their FMS is widely trusted for managing forest assets and compliance. By bringing INFLOR into Remsoft, we’re strengthening the foundation of our Forest Intelligence Platform and helping customers better connect forest management data with planning, decision-making, and stewardship.”

INFLOR’s software is widely used by forestry companies, landowners and institutional investors, particularly in Brazil and other parts of South America. Remsoft said the addition of INFLOR’s FMS will allow customers to manage operational forest data and long-term planning within a single, cloud-based platform.

Remsoft said the acquisition will give customers a consolidated view of forest operations, from inventory data and management plans through to forecasting and strategic planning. The combined platform is intended to improve transparency and reporting for certification and compliance, while supporting sustainable forest management objectives.

The deal also expands Remsoft’s presence in South America, where INFLOR has a strong customer base. Franc Roxo, general director of Remsoft Ltda., the company’s Brazilian subsidiary, said the acquisition builds on Remsoft’s existing operations in the region and creates opportunities to serve a broader range of forestry organizations.

Carlos Albuquerque, CEO of INFLOR, said joining Remsoft will allow the company to scale its software internationally and integrate forest management systems with advanced planning tools. INFLOR’s customers are primarily located in South America and Europe.

Remsoft operates globally, with customers across South America, North America, Europe and Australasia. The company said INFLOR will gain access to Remsoft’s global sales and support infrastructure, while Remsoft benefits from INFLOR’s specialized expertise in forest asset and compliance management.

Last March, Remsoft announced it had secured a strategic investment from Banneker Partners, a San Francisco-based private equity firm specializing in enterprise software. The investment strengthened Remsoft’s ability to scale and accelerate innovation, said the company. It also said at the time that it had acquired Lim Geomatics, a forestry software innovator specializing in geospatial and operational analytics.

Of the INFLOR acquisition, Banneker Operating Partner Steven Ballantyne said: “INFLOR strengthens Remsoft at the core of forest management and asset intelligence. Together, they offer global forestry organizations a complete, enterprise-ready forest intelligence solution.”
