Total Specific Solutions acquires Keypoint Intelligence

Total Specific Solutions (“TSS”) has acquired Keypoint Intelligence, a US-based provider of data, market intelligence, and analytical software for the global digital imaging industry, which follows the recent TSS acquisition of GeoSoftware.

Keypoint Intelligence supports leading Original Equipment Manufacturers as well as more than 2,000 dealers and leasing companies. Keypoint Intelligence’s core platform, bliQ, is built on proprietary analytical testing capabilities and provides access to field and laboratory test reports, product evaluations, device data, and outsourced testing services. The company’s ProPrintPerformance solution offers competitive intelligence and training services to sales and marketing professionals in digital production print.

Netherlands-based Ramon Zanders, Group CEO at TSS, in welcoming Keypoint Intelligence into the fold, has said:

“The company has built a strong reputation in digital imaging, document solutions, production print, and digital media industries, combining proprietary data, independent testing, market intelligence, and sales enablement. With more than 60 years of expertise, Keypoint Intelligence is a trusted authority in its market. Its deep domain knowledge, long-standing customer relationships, and specialized solutions make it a strong fit with TSS. We look forward to supporting Anthony Sci and his team as they continue to grow Keypoint Intelligence as an independent business within TSS. Adam McIsaac will work closely with the team to share TSS best practices, learn from their industry expertise, and help strengthen our presence in North America.”

Keypoint Intelligence was founded in 1961 as Buyers Lab and expanded with InfoTrends in 2002, and the business unified as Keypoint Intelligence in 2015, strengthening its role as a source of clarity, confidence, and direction for the industry. Its portfolio of products and services covers hardware, software, consumables, and document management. Its headquarters are in Fairfield, New Jersey, USA, and the company has offices in Massachusetts, the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Japan.

Anthony Sci, CEO at Keypoint Intelligence:

“Keypoint Intelligence has earned its reputation by helping the digital imaging industry make better, more confident decisions. Our customers rely on us for independent testing, trusted data, market insight, and deep industry expertise. In TSS, we found a long-term partner that understands the value of our people, our brand, and the markets we serve. Its perpetual ownership model and commitment to independent businesses were exactly what we were looking for.”

Sci continues, “We remain Keypoint Intelligence, with the same customer focus and industry commitment, now supported by the knowledge and experience of TSS and their broad network of incredible businesses. My team and I are ready to continue our growth path and work closely with Adam McIsaac.”
