With industry-specific software modules, BDK’s clients can adapt their transport systems and dispatching software to their individual requirements and needs – no matter the size of the company or industry. BDK offers a simpler, more efficient, and more cost-effective process along the entire transport chain.
“We are very excited to further grow our transportation and logistics vertical with the acquisition of BDK,” said Valsoft CEO Sam Youssef. “This family-run business is passionate about what they do, and that passion translates into success. Passion is one of our values and we believe that BDK and Valsoft are a great match”.
BDK becomes the 7th company under Valsoft’s Transportation and Logistics portfolio, making it one of the most robust verticals under Aspire Software, the operating group at Valsoft.
