Total Specific Solutions ("TSS") has acquired the vertical market software (VMS) company Creative IT from the listed French company Precia SA. With the acquisition of Creative IT, TSS strengthens its proposition within the industrial and manufacturing vertical with Tribofilm (Mainti4), Félix Informatique (DECA, Logiform, Lug³), and DEAL SOFTWARE (Planilog) already part of the group. Creative IT is the 18th company to join Groupe TSS in the French-speaking region.

The MES Qubes solution helps production and industrial organizations by linking operators, equipment, and the central information system in real-time. It ensures communication with the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and WMS (Warehouse Management System) and provides all the industrial performance features on the shop floor. The Qubes engine handles production, performance, logistics, product, and process quality management and provides business intelligence KPIs.

Dorinda van Oosten, General Manager at TSS: "I am excited that Precia SA and Creative IT have chosen Groupe TSS as Creative IT's forever home. We already have 3 strong players in the industrial vertical, Tribofilm, Félix Informatique, and DEAL SOFTWARE. It has been proven in our group that having multiple players in the same vertical further strengthens the companies and creates valuable synergies both for the customers and the companies. Each company has its specific focus and domain within the vertical. With Qubes, Creative IT provides a complete and rich MES solution, helping companies with their mission-critical industrial processes.
Portfolio Leader Laurent Salvatore and I look forward to introducing Managing Director Hervé Guerrin and his team to our TSS and CSI colleagues. It will be a great opportunity to get them acquainted with our extensive set of best practices and help them accelerate their business growth with strong solutions that match their customers' needs for the long term.”

Hervé Guerrin, Managing Director of Creative IT: "Since the inception of our company, we have worked closely with our clients. Customer intimacy is high on the agenda, and most clients have been with us for over a decade. Yet, the time has come for the next step. Becoming part of a dedicated software group will bring new insights to help us continue our growth. By joining Groupe TSS, we gain access to a new range of knowledge on running successful software companies. I believe that this will inspire us to new heights. We were very attracted to the TSS practice of perpetual ownership, meaning they buy and hold forever. Plus, we will be an independent commercial business, and our clients and employees will value the continuation of our brand.
I look forward to working closely with Dorinda van Oosten and Laurent Salvatore as we take our next step as part of the French Groupe TSS."
