“We are excited about the natural integration this partnership enables, as OpSuite will be able to offer in-house payment and other commerce enabling solutions through the wider ClearCourse group products.”
Keith Bateman, sales director at Davidson Richards, said: “This acquisition marks an exciting new chapter for our business and customers. Joining the ClearCourse group will enable us to enhance the service we offer our customers, particularly through the introduction of an in-house Electronic Funds Transfer solution.
“ClearCourse is the ideal partner to help us to grow the business through an increased investment into marketing and to reach more customers.”
