Total Specific Solutions (“TSS”) has acquired WAER Systems Limited, an advanced WMS supplier with a global customer network in the NetSuite space. This is TSS’s third acquisition in the UK, following Biomedical Data Solutions and Passfield.

WAER Systems software solution WAERlinx is an advanced, cloud-based Warehouse Management System (WMS). Its extensive, straightforward functionality gives its users the control, visibility, and reporting expected from an advanced WMS. The WAERlinx solution fits all types of businesses, from small to large enterprises, and focuses on different verticals including manufacturing, distribution & logistics, food & beverage, not-for-profit, and retail.

Martijn Aardema, General Manager at TSS: “We are pleased to welcome WAER Systems, our first WMS software supplier in the United Kingdom that specialises in several vertical markets. WAERlinx has its roots in the global aerospace manufacturers industry, and WAER found its sweet spot in combining its innovative vision with WMS functionalities based on customer demand. The founder and former owner, Rod Scott, has built a company with clients across the globe, and he and his team have placed a lot of emphasis on customer and partner relationships. This fits our vision, and I believe that TSS will provide the right foundation for the next step in the company’s future.
Together with Portfolio Manager Arjen de Wit, I look forward to supporting David Snelson and his team in their new phase as an independent business unit of TSS.

David Snelson, Managing Director of WAER Systems: “Over the years, we have built a solid software company that delivers added value to our customers in the specific vertical markets that we serve. When we were looking for a new owner, we wanted to continue what we created and ensure a bright future for our employees and customers. TSS approached us with their ‘Software for Life’ strategy, which fits our needs perfectly. And TSS understands the difference in cultures; whether it concerns countries or specific industries, each culture needs a dedicated approach.
We look forward to being part of a group that values sharing knowledge and best practices and gaining new insights. We are ready for the future.”
