Visma

Visma is a leading European supplier of enterprise software to companies of all sizes and a serial buyer, closing more than 40 acquisitions a year. Aventis advised Visma on the acquisition of SaldeoSMART, a vendor of OCR solutions for accounting practices.

Background

Visma operates across the Nordics, Netherlands, Hungary, Poland, and more. While Visma has an internal M&A team, they sought assistance in coordinating multiple transactions across European markets.

Each acquisition involves financial, legal, commercial, and technical due diligence, requiring expertise in local accounting rules and legal frameworks.

The Challenge

Visma needed a strategic acquisition in Poland to expand its presence in the accounting software market. The challenge was to identify a suitable target and navigate the complexities of the transaction process.

Transaction

Aventis Advisors supported Visma by:

• Providing market insights into the Polish accounting software sector
• Identifying and engaging SaldeoSMART as a strategic target
• Coordinating due diligence and transaction execution

Outcome

The acquisition of SaldeoSMART strengthened Visma’s position in the Polish market and aligned with its strategic growth objectives.

Looking Ahead

With SaldeoSMART integrated, Visma is well-positioned to enhance its offering in Poland and continue expanding its presence in the region.
