Elvaston takes majority stake in DataConsult
Context
In September 2026, German technology private equity firm Elvaston completed the majority buyout of DataConsult, marking the sponsor’s inaugural direct platform investment in Poland. Elvaston established the Polish warehouse management software (WMS) and supply chain execution specialist as a new standalone platform, designed to lead a programmatic buy-and-build consolidation strategy across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The acquisition thesis centers on scaling DataConsult’s mission-critical enterprise software footprint beyond its domestic market, capitalizing on secular demand for logistics automation, warehouse digitization, and supply chain visibility across CEE corridors. Backed by Elvaston’s operational and software buy-and-build playbook, the company will accelerate product R&D in cloud-native logistics platforms and pursue targeted inorganic growth across adjacent supply chain execution and enterprise resource verticals. The founders and executive management team of DataConsult were advised exclusively by tech investment bank Carlsquare, which ran a competitive cross-border auction process to secure an institutional growth partner while maintaining operational autonomy and customer continuity.
DataConsult, which reported an EBITDA margin of in 2025, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of , a level to compare with the average currently observed in the TMT (Tech, Media, Telecom) sector (15.1x).
