Symfonia is a market leader in ERP and HCM software solutions for small and medium-sized companies in Poland and is backed by the two leading technology investors: Accel-KKR from Sillicon Valley, as well as MidEuropa from Central Europe. This strategic move marks the first step in Symfonia's international development plan. Softeh Plus will continue to operate as an independent entity under the same brand, with the main objective of accelerating growth in the local market.
According to Symfonia representatives, the purchase decision is motivated by a strong position of the Softeh Plus company on the Romanian market, which stands out as a top supplier of ERP solutions in the rapidly growing medical and pharmaceutical sector. Symfonia appreciates the outstanding functionalities of Softeh Plus portfolio, loyal customer base, and a potential to attract new clients. In 2023, Softeh Plus celebrated 30 years anniversary and ended the year with more than EUR 7 million.
Softeh Plus will continue to operate independently, with the main objective of accelerated growth organically and through acquisitions in the Romanian market. Regarding the development plans of the new entity for the current year, a significant increase in turnover is anticipated, maintaining the double-digit growth rate recorded by Softeh Plus in recent years, namely the development of a long-term strategic plan to stimulate continued development in the Romanian market.
"Our technological expertise and business potential have been noticed on the European market. Symfonia, backed up by Accel-KKR and MidEuropa, is committed to invest in Softeh Plus to develop further the company and attain a market leader position in Romania.

“We are thrilled to welcome the Softeh Plus team to our extended family. said Piotr Ciski, CEO of the Symfonia Group.
