Generix Acquires Keyneo

Generix, which offers a broad portfolio of SaaS solutions and services, has acquired Keyneo, a specialized software company in omnichannel commerce.

Generix and Keyneo are bringing their SaaS commerce solutions and retail industry expertise together under a new and dedicated subsidiary offering a unified commerce portfolio. Cloud and AI will be at the heart of the innovation strategy for customers, including a strong focus on sustainability for managing second-hand products as an example.

The acquisition allows the combination of the robustness of Generix’s commerce solutions with the modernity of Keyneo’s KeyBUILD SaaS platform for omnichannel commerce, while dramatically simplifying the integration and deployment with full API management. The new commerce entity as part of Generix will provide retail companies with a broad portfolio of solutions and technologies to cover the entire consumer purchasing journey, from sale to delivery, across all sales channels (stores, e-commerce, marketplaces and more):

• Clienteling, wallet, loyalty, management and application of sales actions
• Point of sales
• Unified sales and a single shopping basket
• In-store mobility
• Inventory management and consolidation
• Order management
• Warehouse management
• Delivery
• Management of financial flows and invoices

With this complete offering, Generix and Keyneo reaffirm their multi-sector approach to retail to uniquely meet the requirements of both BtoC and BtoB companies.
