PROS®, a provider of SaaS solutions optimizing shopping and selling experiences, announced the acquisition of EveryMundo, LLC (“EveryMundo”), a privately held company based in Miami, Florida. Under the terms of the transaction, PROS will pay $80 million in cash at closing, subject to certain customary adjustments, and deliver approximately $10 million in stock in the future, subject to certain conditions.
EveryMundo is a digital offer marketing pioneer that enables brands to broaden their digital reach and deepen customer engagement, pulling them in to direct selling motions to create superior brand experiences and foster loyalty over time.
“We are thrilled to welcome the EveryMundo team to the PROS family,” said PROS President and Chief Executive Officer Andres Reiner. “Brands have no choice but to be present everywhere their customer and prospects find themselves but winning in today and tomorrow’s market will require brands to earn more direct engagement and deliver the experiences their customers value most. With EveryMundo, our collective portfolio gives brands much greater control over direct and indirect channels they participate in to consistently deliver superior brand experiences that exceed customers’ expectations every time, regardless of channel.”
All brands, regardless of industry, are pushing digital agendas that prioritize customer engagement, affinity and loyalty. They want to differentiate their offers, cultivate direct customer relationships, and eliminate intermediaries – whether it is a marketplace, aggregator site, Global Distribution System, or other agent – along with the additional costs they represent.
Since its founding in 2006, EveryMundo has been relentlessly focused on helping brands like American Airlines, Tennis Australia, Greyhound and Japan Airlines Vacations maximize their reach and engagement to foster a direct relationship with customers in any channel in the most flexible and profitable way possible. For example, with airlines, this means being able to quickly and effortlessly publish offers on direct and indirect channels that can bring customers back to owned channels, avoiding the increasing fees charged per offer by Global Distribution Systems that limit reach and erode margin.
“Our company and technology were founded on this vision and dream to impact the market in truly innovative ways,” said EveryMundo Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Anton Diego. “As part of the PROS family, our teams look forward to continuing this mission.”
“Today is a monumental day for our team and a next step in our quest to disrupt industry paradigms hindering market growth and opportunity for airlines and B2B organizations,” said EveryMundo Co-Founder and President, Seth Cassel. “The cultural fit with PROS is what makes this combination so unique and compelling and why we will further transform the brand experiences all businesses deliver.”
Baird and Cassel Salpeter & Co., LLC served as financial advisors to EveryMundo in the transaction.
