International optical software company Ocuco has acquired Danish firm Retail Planit for an undisclosed sum in a move into the Nordic markets.
The acquisition adds to Ocuco’s software operations in France, Italy, Spain, UK, USA, Australia, Canada and China. The company supplies systems to optical chains including Vision Express.
Retail Planit also has wholly owned subsidiaries operating in Norway and Sweden, supplying optical practice management software through software package Optitec.
As a result of the acquisition, 12 highly experienced staff based in Norway, Sweden and Denmark will transfer to Ocuco.
Leo MacCanna, CEO of Ocuco, said: ‘The Nordic countries are known for their premium optical retailing and high end clinical ophthalmic services. This makes the region a perfect market for our solutions. By adding the OptitecRS solution and the excellent capabilities of the local team we are now uniquely positioned to service the whole region.’
