Jonas Software acquires marina management experts Pacsoft

Jonas Software has expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of marina management software specialists Pacsoft International.

Headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand’s ‘City of Sails’, Pacsoft is best known for its PacsoftNG software used by marina, boatyard and shipyard managers to operate and manage their facilities.

Advising that he was delighted to announce the acquisition at a time when boating was growing in popularity, Jonas Software Australia and New Zealand Portfolio Manager Mike Henton stated “we’re thrilled to bring Pacsoft into the fold and are committed to its continued success. With the 2021 America’s Cup on the horizon and enthusiasm for boating on the rise, Pacsoft is well placed to capitalise on these opportunities.”

Pacsoft has grown steadily since it launched PacsoftNG in 1999, with the software now used in 20 countries by businesses ranging from small marinas and boatyards to major harbours with thousands of berths.

PacsoftNG makes it simple for marina, boatyard, and shipyard managers to efficiently run all aspects of their business, including operations, administration, accounting, management and business analysis.

It offers comprehensive tools for management of services such as berth rental and makes administering and charging for ancillary services and utilities simple. It also offers add-on modules that make it easy to manage a schedule of boat lifters and hard stands and effectively create and monitor job quotes, invoices, job costings, and work in progress.

Pacsoft Chief Executive Chris Thomas said the acquisition would provide his team with increased business skills, greater financial resources and access to new technology. Thomas has managed the company since 1997, and he and existing Pacsoft staff will remain in place as part of the deal.

Thomas added “Jonas Software knows what it takes to grow a business globally. leading marina and boatyard management software globally long into the future.”

Jonas Software operates more than 80 independently managed software brands around the world, supplying industry leading enterprise management software and related services to more than 80,000 customers in 20 vertical markets.
