Eyelit Technologies, a portfolio company of Banneker Partners, has completed the 100% acquisition of Optessa Software. The transaction serves as a strategic tuck-in to expand Eyelit’s product portfolio, adding critical planning and scheduling capabilities to its existing execution-focused software suite. The acquisition represents a move toward "closed-loop" manufacturing, unifying planning (Optessa) with execution (Eyelit). By integrating Optessa’s AI-powered scheduling engine with its MES and quality management platform, Eyelit aims to offer a more holistic and predictive solution to industrial customers. The rationale centers on solving the "disparate system" problem; unifying these workflows allows manufacturers to bridge the gap between high-level operational planning and real-time factory-floor execution, resulting in greater agility and reduced production lead times.

OPTESSA SOFTWARE, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2024, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the TMT (Tech, Media, Telecom) sector (13.6x).
