TAG Software Group Targets Luxury and Retail Sectors Through Acquisition
Aidin Mohsenin, investment partner at TAG Software Group, noted via Digital Journal that the acquisition targets teams and technologies with a loyal client base in sectors such as luxury and retail. The Hyphen team has built with Chalco a solid product in the field of content operations and a loyal client base in Italy and Switzerland in the luxury and retail sectors: exactly the kind of team and technology we choose to support with a long-term horizon, making our resources and international network available to accelerate its growth,
Mohsenin stated. Incoming Chalco Technologies CEO Stefano Righetti highlighted the intersection of content operations and artificial intelligence as a primary driver for the deal. In Valsoft we found the specialization and international network we were looking for, but above all the same long-term growth vision that has always guided the platform’s development,
Righetti stated.
