About this business
A software business in Preston that runs a hosted data platform for logistics and field service companies, bringing vehicle, job and stock data into one place for reporting.

Turnover has eased from £2.24m in 2021 to £2m, while EBITDA has grown to £649k. A buyer would look closely at customer retention, but takes on a profitable product with high margins and its own premises.
