Procede Software has announced the acquisition of San Antonio-based dealer management system provider RIMSS. The deal allows Procede to expand its platform into the agriculture and construction sectors while maintaining support for both the Excede and RIMSS product lines.
Why it matters
By acquiring a provider with deep roots in agriculture and construction equipment, Procede aims to scale its dealer management infrastructure across new industrial verticals. This consolidation follows an investment in Procede by Rubicon Technology Partners earlier this year.
RIMSS brings a customer retention rate of approximately 99% to the combined entity. Procede currently manages a footprint of 25,000 daily users across its existing dealership base.
The players
Procede Software
A developer of dealer management software serving over 1,200 locations with a focus on heavy equipment and automotive sectors.
RIMSS
A San Antonio-based software firm that has provided dealer management tools to the agriculture and construction industries for over 40 years.
Rubicon Technology Partners
A private equity firm that provided an investment to Procede Software in early 2026.
The details
The acquisition integrates the RIMSS dealer management platform, which supports original equipment manufacturers such as Kubota and Case IH, with Procede's established Excede software. Procede has committed to providing ongoing development and support for both systems, ensuring continuity for existing agricultural and construction dealer groups. These platforms serve as the central nervous system for dealerships, coordinating inventory, service scheduling, and parts sales.
