Total Specific Solutions ("TSS") has acquired AS Systems Ltd., a software company with an ERP for medium and large Bulgarian manufacturing and trading companies and a healthcare ERP for stand-alone pharmacies and pharmacy associations. With this acquisition, TSS enters the Bulgarian market and strengthens its foothold in the CEE region with companies in Romania, Poland, and Serbia.

AS Systems has two main product lines: Atlas and PharmaStar. Atlas is a modular ERP solution with all the main modules for managing business processes in a manufacturing or trading company. Each module can be implemented independently or integrated with others into a single system. Next to the standard ERP modules such as Finance, Purchasing, Payroll, and CRM functionalities, Atlas also includes modules such as eCommerce and business analytics.PharmaStar and PharmaCloud are products focusing specifically on the Bulgarian healthcare sector. PharmaStar and PharmaCloud are modern software solutions suitable both for a single pharmacy and pharmaceutical groups/chains, helping them manage and optimize their business processes as well as automating their supplier and customer-related processes.

Daniel Lar, Portfolio Manager at TSS: "We are pleased to welcome our first Bulgarian company, AS Systems, to TSS. AS Systems has been around for 30 years, and the company is a good fit with TSS as it focuses on specific client verticals and closely collaborates with its customers. Healthcare is a core vertical of TSS, and we have many software companies catering to pharmacies across Europe, but only one in the CEE region. It is good to expand our foothold in this sector here as well, and the same applies to the manufacturing and trade industries.I look forward to working with Radoslav Benov and the people at AS Systems and introducing them to TSS."

Radoslav Benov, former owner and current Managing Director of AS Systems: "We founded our company 30 years ago, in 1993, and are very proud of where our company is today. We have two strong product lines focusing on specific markets, and each line has valued clients within their industry. As a medium-sized software company, you are really agile and can quickly respond to market changes. You run a marathon by yourself continuously. So when TSS came along with their buy-and-hold-forever strategy while companies retain their commercial identity, it made us think. Being part of a large dedicated software group will provide us with new insights and inspiration while keeping the identity we have carefully built over time. Every athlete needs a good coach as part of their team to continue running the extra mile. We have found that in TSS, and we are ready for the future for our company, our employees, and our clients.”

AS Systems
AS Systems was founded in 1993 to design and develop information solutions for managing medium and large Bulgarian companies. The company's clients are leading industrial enterprises and trading companies with developed regional networks. It then added the software solution PharmaStar to its portfolio, an integrated system for automating pharmacy chains, associations, and stand-alone pharmacies. AS Systems has its offices in Sofia, Bulgaria.
