Intouch Insight (TSX-V:INX) says its latest acquisitions will immediately improve the Ottawa-based customer experience firm’s bottom line, as well as adding new channels for growth.
Intouch announced this week it has entered into a deal to acquire both Calgary’s PerformaLogics Inc., an experience measurement firm, and its sister company MobilForce, a field reporting software developer. The transaction remains subject to conditions from the TSX Venture Exchange.
The all-cash deal will see Intouch pay $750,600 upfront and an additional $1 million over the next three years, assuming the acquirees meet certain revenue targets.

Intouch expects the acquisition to close Feb. 1.
