Custom Software for Private Equity Firms

SPR provides software for private equity firms when custom software is essential to the portfolio company acquired. SPR helps you develop a technology strategy and roadmap around your portfolio company’s custom software assets. We assess custom software and data platforms as part of your pre-acquisition due diligence, provide tech and product strategy post-merger, and specialize in building custom software platforms.

We’ve heard from multiple partners that commercial off the shelf (COTS) software packages aren’t enough to help you differentiate and scale your portfolio company. When that’s the case, we help build out the tech components of your roadmap and execute on the plans. We’ve built and scaled private equity software and platforms that integrate disparate systems and increase business efficiency. We expertly address your niche market needs.
