Innovating Supply Chain Management for SMBs

Founded in 2017, Anvyl is an intelligent purchase order (PO) management platform designed to facilitate real-time collaboration between teams, suppliers, and technology. Anvyl’s platform allows consumer brands to efficiently collaborate internally and externally, gain end-to-end visibility into purchase orders, and leverage automation to ensure the highest levels of accuracy and agility throughout their supply chain. Additionally, Anvyl provides a marketplace platform, connecting brands directly with suppliers to streamline material purchasing.

The acquisition is part of Sage’s strategy to expand its presence in the $20 billion supply chain software sector. By integrating Anvyl’s cutting-edge supply chain management technology, Sage will be able to enhance its current product suite with a cost-effective, end-to-end SCE solution. This addition will empower SMBs with greater visibility from purchase order creation to warehouse delivery, improving operational efficiency and decision-making through Sage Network, Sage’s ecosystem of connected products and services.

Rodney Manzo, Founder and CEO of Anvyl commented: “From day one, GP Bullhound supported Anvyl throughout the process. Their advice and counsel were critical in getting the sale to the finish line. I would highly recommend them and would use them again.”

Mark Hickman, Managing Director, North America, Sage said: “Our acquisition of Anvyl reinforces Sage’s commitment to offering comprehensive back-office solutions for SMBs, particularly in supply chain management. This move aligns with our strategy to expand beyond financials, providing a broader range of tools to help businesses thrive.”

Eric Crowley, Partner at GP Bullhound, added: “We’re thrilled to have advised Anvyl on its acquisition by Sage, a move that will empower SMBs with stronger supply chain capabilities and operational efficiency. This partnership marks an exciting step forward in the supply chain software space.”
