RGI acquires 100% of the shares in Flexperto GmbH
April 2021 — The shareholders and founders of Flexperto GmbH have sold the company to RGI S.p.A. The founders remain as managing directors and have already reinvested in the parent company. Whereas Flexperto’s sales activities were solely focused on the German-speaking financial services market, with the sale to RGI, both companies seek to expand these activities to other markets and industries.
Flexperto is a web-based SaaS insure-tech platform for digital communication between companies and customers. The company rethinks the way sales-driven enterprises communicate with their customers in a digital world. The Sales Communication Cloud allows sales employees to interact with customers through all digital channels and collaboration tools from one place. Enterprises can increase their productivity, offer a unique customer experience and unify the complete customer dialogue. Since the seed funding in 2015 and two follow-up financing rounds in 2016 and 2017 with a total capital raised of US$4.8 million, Flexperto has become the leading software player for digital B2C communication in the German financial services market.
RGI, a portfolio company of Corsair Capital – a leading global investor in the financial services industry – is an independent software vendor, a European leader in the digital transformation of the insurance sector. Committed for more than 30 years, RGI has a wealth of experience in dealing with insurers, bank insurers, agents, brokers and independent financial advisors.
