Atturra (ATA) has expanded its partnership with QAD, following the acquisition of Kettering Professional Services.

The acquisition saw Atturra assume responsibility for more than 50 QAD customers in Australia.

QAD provides software to the manufacturing sector to assist ERP and supply chain requirements.

As part of a restructure of its operations, QAD will transfer its service and support function in Australasia and the Pacific to Atturra under an expanded partnering agreement.

ATA will now grow its sales service teams in order to expand the QAD client base in the region.

Chief Executive Officer Stephen Kowal said the acquisition of Kettering positioned the company as a natural partner for QAD in the region.

“QAD solutions will ensure our manufacturers have world class processes, and integrated supply chain and comprehensive visibility across manufacturing operations, suppliers, customers and trading partners,” he said.

“The partnership will deliver Atturra more than 70 active QAD clients in total by fiscal year end, and we expect to build on that with an expanded sales force.

“There is particularly strong potential to introduce QAD solutions to Atturra’s wider client base and we look forward to capturing that opportunity.”

Shares closed 5.04 per cent lower today at 66 cents each.
