SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct. 2, 2020 (PRNewswire) — Sole Source Capital LLC (“Sole Source” or the “Firm”), an industrial-focused private equity firm providing capital to North American lower-middle market companies, today announced that its portfolio company, Supply Chain Services (“the Company”), a premier provider of automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) and factory automation solutions to customers across North America, has acquired Miles Data Technologies (“Miles Data”), a leading provider of barcode, RFID, and mobility solutions. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
With more than 30 years of experience, Miles Data provides a comprehensive line of products and services to approximately 2,000 customers throughout North America for all of their barcode, RFID, and mobility needs. By providing hands-on, high-touch services from product selection and testing to configuration, deployment and training, Miles Data has developed a diverse client base of companies that are prioritizing a mobile-first business strategy. In 2015, Miles Data established the first-ever Miles Data Solution Center, a state-of-the-art, one-stop location that demonstrates each product offering and solution for current and prospective clients.
In conjunction with the transaction, Miles Data’s current CEO Robert Ladd will continue to oversee the business and will assume the new role of Executive Vice President, working directly with Supply Chain Services CEO Dave Green to continue to drive growth and create value for the Company.
Supply Chain Services delivers innovative, automated data collection solutions to nearly 3,000 customers, providing critical technology that allows businesses to become more efficient and responsive. The Company was acquired by Sole Source Capital in May 2020. Through this acquisition of Miles Data, Supply Chain Services will continue to grow its range of barcoding and data collection solutions for clients, underscoring its technology-driven product leadership and unparalleled commitment to high quality customer service. This transaction follows the Company’s previous add-on acquisition in August 2020 of Dasco Label, a leading solutions provider of custom labels, imprinting, serialization, and barcoding services.
“Supply Chain Services and Sole Source Capital share our values and commitment to enhancing our capabilities and the technology-driven solutions we provide,” said Mr. Ladd. “We look forward to joining the Supply Chain Services family and working with the exceptional team at Sole Source Capital to continue to drive operational improvements, identify future growth and acquisition opportunities and develop exceptional, customer-centric solutions for a broad base of clients.”
“We are very excited to welcome Robert and the great organization at Miles Data to our team,” said Dave Green, CEO of Supply Chain Services. “Together, we will leverage our complementary product and service offerings to capitalize on the growing opportunity in the technology-based supply chain solutions space and continue to help our customers operate better across North America.”
