Avendus advises CrossView on its strategic acquisition by PFSweb (NASDAQ: PFSW).

CrossView Inc., an eCommerce system integrator focused on SAP hybris and IBM Websphere Commerce has been acquired by PFSweb, Inc. (NASDAQ: PFSW), a global provider of end-to-end eCommerce solutions, for $38 million, plus additional contingent payments based on future EBITDA targets.

"In-step with our growth-through-acquisition strategy”, said Mike Willoughby, CEO of PFSweb, “CrossView solidifies our technology service offering with IBM WebSphere Commerce and SAP hybris integration capabilities."

"Unlike many smaller system integrators," continued Willoughby, "CrossView has created a strong business around recurring managed services, which generates over 40% of total revenue. I am very excited to have the privilege of supporting CrossView's marquee clients, and I believe we should benefit from cross-selling opportunities as we support a combined client base of approximately 150 clients." Michael von Bodungen, CEO of CrossView said, “Avendus served as a trusted adviser throughout the process and their knowledge of the relevant players and our segment was critical in getting the deal done.”

Avendus Capital, Inc. was the sole financial advisor to CrossView for this transaction.
