Since its founding, Qwantec has focused on developing its solutions for its SME and Enterprise clients throughout Chile and Peru. The company has over 8,000 clients in the region.
“Qwantec has an incredible track record in their sector. They have been delivering high quality products to various industry verticals within Chile and Peru, to assist their clients in the complex task of recording time and attendance workforce data” said Richard Clancy, Group CEO at Vesta. “This acquisition will further strengthen Vesta’s mission to expand its buy and hold forever portfolio of high quality, mission critical vertical market software companies throughout South America.”
Oscar Granadino Horvath and Álvaro Vásquez Salinas, co-founders of Qwantec added “We are very happy with the trajectory and sustained growth of Qwantec which has now allowed us to be part of one of the largest technology groups in the United Kingdom and Canada, but without a doubt it is even better news for our more than 8,000 clients in Chile and Peru who will receive even better products and services in the future.”
