Software solutions provider Infomedia
(ASX:IFM) has finalised the purchase of US-domiciled e-commerce specialist SimplePart
SimplePart is a system operator in digital aftersales providing online parts, accessories and service e-commerce solutions to enable automakers and dealers to sell directly to consumers.
SimplePart reported a US$10 million revenue in the 12 months to 31 March 2021 and is expected to achieve low double digit growth rates in calendar years 2021 and 2022 before synergies.
