reach within the Petroleum Supply Chain, and extends its Professional
Services Team and Support to the Pacific Northwest Region
PDI Software, (www.pdisoftware.com)
a leading provider of software solutions to convenience retailers and
wholesale petroleum marketers, today announced it has acquired DM2, a
privately held company with corporate headquarters in Vancouver,
Washington. PDI has acquired DM2 to better serve customers and deepen
its expertise in petroleum wholesale.
Today’s acquisition will add additional expertise to PDI’s strong
professional services team and bolster the company’s cardlock and
lubricants knowledge. The acquisition will also provide PDI with a
regional presence on the U.S. West Coast to better service customers in
that area.
Founded nearly 30 years ago, DM2 provides back office enterprise
resource planning (ERP) automation solutions for over 200 customers. The
company has been a leading supplier of technology to wholesale petroleum
marketers in the U.S. PDI will acquire DM2’s intellectual property,
development and support resources – strengthening its overall operations.
“We are pleased to add DM2’s clients, employees and expertise to our
existing portfolio,” said Jimmy Frangis, chief executive officer, PDI.
“The addition of DM2’s software further demonstrates our commitment to
the wholesale petroleum industry, expanding our professional services
team and developing our presence on the U.S. West Coast. DM2 has
hundreds of great clients, and we look forward to serving their business
needs for years to come.”
The acquisition of DM2 continues PDI’s strategy of developing,
acquiring, and supporting best-in-class industry solutions for the
petroleum wholesale and logistics industries worldwide.
“Since 1989 DM2 had a clear strategy of providing integrated and
automated solutions for petroleum marketers that enabled the company to
do more with less resources, and manage by exception to better control
operations. DM2 tailored its software to meet specific core petroleum
distribution needs and partnered with best-in-class solution providers
to provide fully integrated solutions,” said Scott Burkard, chief
executive officer, DM2.
PDI and DM2 share a common philosophy to help businesses run better and
thrive, by providing enterprise management software that customers rely
on to drive operational efficiencies, increase margins and deliver
exceptional experiences.
“This acquisition further solidifies the company’s commitment to
innovating, growing and looking for opportunities that create value and
make a difference for PDI’s customers, partners and employees,” added
Frangis. “PDI is committed to providing customers with the best
solutions on the market that will create easy, end-to-end support for
their entire global operations. Our goal is to continue bringing
together the best people, applying the best processes, and combining the
