Aspire Software is pleased to announce that Aysling, a key player in enabling media publishers to effectively manage advertising operations through AdOrbit, its flagship software, has joined our portfolio, with Valsoft Corporation’s latest acquisition.
Aysling helps their clients and partners attain operational efficiencies through their top-of-the-line ERP solutions. Aysling provides visibility into management of advertising sales and operational processes to more than 200 media publishers. Their platform automates the selling processes, manages advertising inventory, centralizes CRM data, fulfills the accounting processes, and provides their customers with relevant insight.
“Aysling has been on an impressive growth path and has become a leader in the advertising operations sector,” explains Anthony Caruso, Investment Partner at Valsoft. “The customer-first approach by the entire Aysling team has allowed for this successful trajectory. We look forward to leveraging Aysling’s strong foothold to further expand in the media sector under the direction of Managing Director, Rudy Pataro, who will be key to driving success.”
With this latest acquisition, Aysling becomes Valsofts first media portfolio company focusing on ad operations management. Aysling will now have the opportunity to not only further strengthen their presence in the US market with its flagship suite, but to expand globally through Valsoft’s presence in the media space. Aysling’s management team will stay on board to maintain Aysling’s stellar reputation among clients as the company grows.
Aysling was previously part of the Fry Family Network, operated by Fry Communications, a large Pennsylvania-based commercial printer. “We invested in Aysling to bring its industry-leading operational capabilities to media companies looking to grow their ad revenue while reducing costs,” said David Fry, the company’s CTO. “Being part of the Valsoft portfolio now ensures it will have access to the necessary resources to enhance its products and expand internationally. We can’t wait to see where it goes from here, and Fry is eager to continue partnering with Aysling to the benefit of our shared customers.”
