Pioneer software provider in intermodal logistics PICit has been sold to Arcadea

July 2024 — PICit, a Danish SaaS powerhouse in information management solutions for intermodal logistics, has been acquired by Arcadea Group.

PICit’s 40+ employees provide a shared real-time information platform called Practical Intermodal Communication (PIC), which binds all transport parties together in an information network and creates a community. PICit offers a scalable and modular solution that spans the entire value chain, from terminal operating systems (TOS), rail software, goods transport systems (GTS) and customs systems to warehouse management systems (WMS) and more—all helping to coordinate and optimize the movement of logistics in real time. Through system-to-system integration, PICit ensures end-to-end connectivity across both internal and external systems.

Arcadea Group invests in high-quality, high-growth, typically founder-led vertical software companies over extremely long periods. With offices in Canada and the USA, and portfolio companies in North America, Europe and Australasia, Arcadea maintains a global investment purview.

Moneybox’s employee share sale has set another milestone for London’s Private Securities Market

The London Stock Exchange’s Private Securities Market (PSM) continues to demonstrate its potential as a venue for providing shareholder liquidity in high-growth private companies. Following the successful employee share sale for autonomous driving pioneer Wayve earlier this month, fintech leader Moneybox has completed a US$61 million (£45 million) employee liquidity event through the PSM. By structuring the transaction as an employee liquidity event, long-serving employees with vested equity have been able to realize some of the value they helped create while enabling Moneybox to remain private and continue its growth journey. Crowdcube managed the employee seller and investor participation process.
