Total Specific Solutions (TSS) has acquired Keypoint Intelligence, a US-based provider of data, market intelligence, and analytical software for the digital imaging industry.
The move strengthens TSS’s position in North America, following its earlier acquisition of GeoSoftware, and adds a well-established insight-led business to its portfolio of vertical market software companies.
Keypoint Intelligence provides data services, business intelligence, and document management solutions to the digital imaging sector. Its customer base includes leading OEMs as well as more than 2000 dealers and leasing companies. The company’s bliQ platform offers access to laboratory and field test reports, product evaluations, device data, and outsourced testing services, underpinned by proprietary analytical testing capabilities.
It also offers ProPrintPerformance, a solution focused on competitive intelligence and training for sales and marketing professionals working in digital production print.
Ramon Zanders, group CEO at TSS, said: “We are very pleased to welcome Keypoint Intelligence to TSS. The company has built a strong reputation in digital imaging, document solutions, production print, and digital media industries, combining proprietary data, independent testing, market intelligence, and sales enablement. With more than 60 years of expertise, Keypoint Intelligence is a trusted authority in its market. Its deep domain knowledge, long-standing customer relationships, and specialized solutions make it a strong fit with TSS. We look forward to supporting Anthony Sci and his team as they continue to grow Keypoint Intelligence as an independent business within TSS. Adam McIsaac [TSS managing director and head of portfolio, North America] will work closely with the team to share TSS best practices, learn from their industry expertise, and help strengthen our presence in North America.”
Anthony Sci, CEO at Keypoint Intelligence, added: “Keypoint Intelligence has earned its reputation by helping the digital imaging industry make better, more confident decisions. Our customers rely on us for independent testing, trusted data, market insight, and deep industry expertise. In TSS, we found a long-term partner that understands the value of our people, our brand, and the markets we serve. Its perpetual ownership model and commitment to independent businesses were exactly what we were looking for. We remain Keypoint Intelligence, with the same customer focus and industry commitment, now supported by the knowledge and experience of TSS and their broad network of incredible businesses. My team and I are ready to continue our growth path and work closely with Adam McIsaac.”
