ByBox acquires PPR
ByBox Field Support has acquired PPR Solutions – a outsourced engineering company. A statement said: “The rationale for the acquisition was clear from both sides. ByBox provides PPR with the scale and technology required to make another step-change in growth; PPR provides ByBox with the ability to provide ByBox’ customers with high-end outsourced engineering as part of ThinventoryTM – ByBox’ end-to-end field service software platform.”
Earlier this year ByBox acquired Newcotech – a tech-courier serving the IT, retail and telco sectors. PPR will extend the profile of engineering services that ByBox is able to offer.
Stuart Miller, CEO of ByBox: “ByBox has been working hard to use technology to permanently reduce the cost of our customers’ supply chains. To date, our focus has been mainly on inventory, distribution and tech-courier. The last piece in the field service puzzle is high-end engineering. Integrating PPR into our overall ThinventoryTM proposition gives customers a great range of service choice. Customers can configure ThinventoryTM to deliver whichever combination of inventory, distribution and field engineering they need – all at a variable cost.”
