Sylogist Acquires Innovative Time Tracking & Scheduling SaaS Solution for its Gov, Ed and Mission Platforms
23 February 2024 - 10:45PM
Sylogist Ltd. (TSX: SYZ) (“Sylogist” or the
“Company”), is pleased to announce that it has acquired Time Clock
Now (“Time Clock Now” or “Asset”), a comprehensive 100% SaaS
solution for streamlining time tracking and scheduling.
Sylogist acquired the Asset from Action Micro Technologies
(“AMGroup”) for total consideration of $1.65 million (USD). The
purchase price includes technical and transitional services from
AMGroup through the end of 2024.
“Time Clock Now is purpose-built to seamlessly integrate and
complement Microsoft Business Central’s capabilities,” said Bill
Wood, Sylogist’s President, and CEO. “We seized a buy vs. build
opportunity to respond to increasing requests from both customers
and new opportunities alike. The solution offers innovative
capabilities for employee / teacher time tracking and scheduling
within the Sylogist platform ecosystem. We expect that the
acquisition will contribute modest ARR and be EBITDA neutral in
2024 and become EBITDA accretive with ARR acceleration in 2025 with
increasing customer and new logo adoption.”
The addition of Time Clock Now’s capabilities into Sylogist’s
100% cloud based Sylogist Gov, Ed, Mission and Payroll platforms
represents the achievement of a targeted milestone on the Company’s
technology roadmap in an expedited manner and the expansion of its
addressable market. Over the next 24 months, the exciting new
offering is expected to see strong adoption from Sylogist customers
as well as the Microsoft Business Central and Dynamics GP user
communities via download from AppSource.
