Amsterdam-based Holland Capital, an independent private equity firm, announced on Tuesday, July 10, that it has invested in Chainresult and Supply Chain Company. These are two prominent players in the digitisation of the food and agriculture value chain, respectively.
The investment aims to support international growth ambitions.
According to Holland Capital, the success of companies in today’s food and agriculture industry relies heavily on their ability to manage the entire value chain effectively.
The food and agriculture sector is experiencing rapid digitalisation, which requires technology partners who understand the sector’s unique characteristics, processes, and complexities.
Integrating software implementation with sound business strategies is the key to successful digitalisation.
In both areas, Chainresult and Supply Chain Company excel, leveraging their extensive knowledge of the food and agriculture market and their proven track record of working with global corporations. By working together, they can guide and drive the value chain’s further digitalisation.
Chainresult: Business implementation
Chainresult was founded in 2002, specializing in Business Implementation with an emphasis on properly preparing organisations, business processes, and master data for successful implementation and commissioning of business systems, such as ERP.
Jan Willem Rijkse, CEO of Chainresult says, “Our ambition is great and reflects that of our partners. Together we want to continue to grow in the coming years and carry out more and larger projects for our clients with extra clout and scale.”
Supply Chain Company: Supply chain planning
Supply Chain Company, founded in 2017, provides supply chain planning solutions such as Relex, Optimity, and More Optimal.
Henk Jan Rijkse, CEO of Supply Chain Company says, “To continue to serve our partners optimally, we want to continue to grow and continuously expand the spectrum of digitisation solutions.”
“In Holland Capital, we have found a valuable partner who, with its experience in building software implementation players and making add-on acquisitions, can actively contribute to the realization of our ambitions, both from our current offices and also in Germany and The United Kingdom,” adds Rijkse.
Holland Capital
