CD-Lab, developer of the world's leading software for inspection and analysis of wastewater pipes, has just acquired Pipeline Analytics from Envirosight. Pipeline Analytics serves as the exclusive distribution and support channel for WinCan software in North and South America, and the acquisition reflects CD-Lab's strategic goal of maintaining a direct presence in all major global markets, including the emerging South American market.
"Pipeline Analytics has exceeded the sales and market share targets we've set for the last five years, and has most recently contributed to the overwhelmingly successful launch of our new WinCan VX platform," says Martin Hien, General Manager of Swiss-based CD-Lab. "Acquiring this company helps us consolidate our global sales channel, which already includes direct subsidiaries in Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom."
"Infrastructure maintenance is becoming much more sophisticated in terms of big data, enterprise scope and third-party integration," says Mike Russin, Business Manager at Pipeline Analytics. "With this substantial investment by CD-Lab, our customers can expect the same unrivalled support from our trusted team, but with the assurance that WinCan developers are focusing even more intently on the needs of customers in the U.S., Canada and other regions throughout North and South America."
"We've watched WinCan grow from reporting software into a platform that is much broader, ranging from simple mobile apps for data collection, to sophisticated enterprise deployments that analyze, map and value underground assets," says Richard Lindner, president of Envirosight. "When a player dominates a global market the way WinCan does, it's logical to evolve toward tighter worldwide integration. We're pleased CD-Lab recognizes the value we've built in Pipeline Analytics."
WinCan also maintains the industry's only complete library of regional observation codes from across the globe, and their development philosophy emphasizes software that is compatible with all available inspection technologies.
