August Debouzy advised Main Capital Partners, an international investment fund specializing in enterprise software, and its portfolio company cisbox, one of Germany’s leading providers of cloud-based, AI-powered Procure-to-Pay solutions, in connection with the acquisition of Oxalys Technologies, a French provider of Source-to-Pay SaaS solutions for mid-sized companies and public sector organizations.

The acquisition of Oxalys is fully aligned with cisbox’s strategy and supports its ambition to become a leading pan-European software group dedicated to the finance function. Following the merger with Millum, the acquisition of Oxalys enables the group to expand its offerings across the procurement value chain by adding solutions for strategic sourcing, contract lifecycle management and supplier relationship management to cisbox’s existing portfolio of solutions for accounts payable automation, payments and operational procurement. The complementary nature of the product portfolios and customer relationships also enables the group to strengthen and diversify its presence among mid-sized companies and public sector entities.

This transaction marks the third complementary acquisition completed by cisbox since its partnership with Main Capital Partners. With a presence in the DACH region and the Nordic countries, cisbox serves a broad client base through its “Source-to-Pay” and “Office of the CFO” solutions. The addition of Oxalys strengthens the group’s product offering, expands its sectoral and geographic reach and creates new opportunities for cross-selling and international expansion.
