Sellsy Acquires RocketChart, and Strengthens Its All-in-one Cloud CRM Suite With a Leading Cash Management Solution

Sellsy, a leading French provider of all-in-one CRM and FMS (financial management system) software solutions for SMEs, announces the acquisition of RocketChart, strengthening its existing offering with the addition of a powerful cash management solution.

“Sellsy was an obvious fit for RocketChart and we immediately established a common and perfectly aligned product vision. We complete Sellsy’s value chain: after automating prospecting, quoting and invoicing, cash management allows us to stay one step ahead. Together, we now provide a unique offer for SMEs.”

This investment is the first step in Sellsy meeting its ambition of creating a leading cloud CRM & FMS software suite for SMEs in Europe, which begun following its €55 million funding round in January 2022. Sellsy plans to achieve this by enriching its existing offering with complementary products, particularly across payments, marketing and FMS solutions.

Shared ambitions

As part of the funding round announced in January 2022, Sellsy disclosed its ambition of becoming the leading European CRM & FMS software suite for SMEs sustained by a growth plan with technology at its core. Just one month after announcing its funding round, Sellsy kickstarted its growth plan with the acquisition of RocketChart, thereby adding a new technological brick to Sellsy’s software suite. RocketChart is already part of the Sellsy ecosystem and shares a few dozen customers with Sellsy.

Victor Douek, co-CEO of Sellsy, said: “Our ambition is to take our solution further than being a simple CRM tool and create a full suite that helps companies monitor their entire customer journey. Sellsy and RocketChart are two perfectly complementary solutions, and together they cover prospecting, invoicing, bank reconciliation, automatic reminders of unpaid invoices, and now cash management. Sellsy offers a unique solution in France to manage your business from A to Z with ease.”

With the addition of this new tool, Sellsy is further expanding its product offering to meet the ever-growing need for SMEs to digitize and become more efficient in their day-to-day operations.

We are delighted to join the team and look forward to helping Sellsy’s 6,000 customers manage their cash flow even better!”

The cash management solution will be a separate and optional product offered to existing Sellsy customers. The RocketChart team will become part of Sellsy while continuing to work on the development of their product. Within two years, Sellsy aims to equip 1,000 companies with cash management thanks to RocketChart.
