Arlington, Va. – SoundBite Communications, a Massachusetts-based developer of cloud-based customer communications tools, said on Monday it has paid $3.8 million to acquire Arlington, Mass.-based 2ergo Americas from U.K. mobile business and marketing technology firm 2ergo Group.
SoundBite said the acquisition bolsters its mobile marketing offering with self-service SMS, mobile coupons, QR code and mobile web platforms.
As part of the deal, SoundBite has become an authorized reseller of 2ergo Group’s podifi contactless redemption and in-store location service, which includes mobile couponing, loyalty, payment and in-store check-in capabilities. “This acquisition… will help establish SoundBite as a top player in mobile marketing,” said Jim Milton, the president and CEO of SoundBite.
