Neopost and Esker finalise cloud-based solutions JV

Neopost and Esker have announced the finalisation of their joint venture to market cloud-based solutions to SME/SMI clients via Neopost’s worldwide network. The agreement allows for on-demand mail distribution and the automation of supplier invoices and customer invoices.

The creation of this joint venture, owned 70% by Neopost and 30% by Esker, follows the signature of a memorandum of understanding announced on 31 March.

The software as a service (SaaS) solutions, based on Esker’s cloud platform, will be marketed by the Neopost network under the Neopost brand.

The initial priorities will be France, to follow up on the success of the Neotouch pilot hybrid mail solution, and the United States, where the two companies both already have strong market positions.
