Revalize, Inc. is an American multinational computer technology company headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, United States.[1] It provides enterprise software and cloud-based applications to manage business operations and streamline manufacturing processes.

The company's software suite includes configure price quote (CPQ), computer-aided design (CAD), engineering simulation, product lifecycle management (PLM), data management, product visualization, and analytics.

As of 2024, Revalize operates on a global scale with a workforce of over 500 employees.[2]

History[edit]

Formation[edit]

Revalize was founded on June 29, 2021, by TA Associates ("TA"), a global growth private equity firm, and ST6, a consortium of software operating executives, with the aim to establish a provider of sector-specific software and SaaS solutions for the manufacturing industry.[3]

The company's portfolio was established through the acquisition of multiple technologies:

Configure One CPQ and FPX Selling Cloud for sales configuration, PIPE-FLO for fluid flow analysis, and Lighting Analysts for a photometric analysis.[4] The portfolio was further influenced by Hg Capital through a merger and acquisition operation, which contributed to Revalize's acquisition-driven expansion within the manufacturing software solutions sector.[5][6]

Revalize's acquisition of AutoQuotes ("AQ"), from Luminate Capital Partners, a technology company specializing in the development of software for the food equipment and supplies (FES) industry, marked its official formation as a unified technology company.[7] This acquisition introduced Jim Contardi, the former CEO of AutoQuotes and Avitru, as CEO of Revalize, to establish a portfolio of industry-specific software revenue operations solutions[8]

Acquisitions[edit]

In August 2021, Revalize expanded its portfolio by acquiring four additional companies:

In October 2021, Revalize expanded into continental Europe with the acquisition of Sofon, a Netherlands-based guided selling, and CPQ software, from Main Capital Partners (“Main”), [10][11]

In November 2021, Revalize further expanded its portfolio in the manufacturing software industry by acquiring three additional European companies, incorporating five respective brands.[12] The acquisitions included:

In October 2023, Revalize broadened its capabilities in the foodservice equipment and supplies (FES) industry by acquiring Kochman Consultants, Ltd. (KCL), a provider of commercial foodservice design software.[16]

Leadership[edit]

In July 2023, Revalize announced Michael Sabin was appointed as CEO, succeeding Jim Contardi, who led Revalize since its formation.[17]
