Van Brug Software has reached an agreement with the shareholders to acquire the software company Dirict. Through this acquisition, Van Brug Software, the market leader in the notary software vertical and part of Total Specific Solutions, now has a complete product portfolio for the notary office. Van Brug Software and Dirict will continue to independently market their solutions and join forces to offer new functionality to existing customers.

An online software solution accelerates growth

'Notarisdossier' is the only web-based software solution for the notary office. The modular design ensures that it is flexible and scalable. Notary offices can choose to either place separate modules on top of their existing software or to use the complete notarial information system. Dirict's unique proposition meets the demand in the greatly changing notary market. Robert Heinen, managing director at Van Brug Software, is pleased with the expansion of the group: "We can now serve the notary offices with custom configured software modules. The acquisition enables us to serve our clients optimally. And it contributes to our growth ambition."

A strong combination

For seven years, Dirict has served the notary market with add-on software modules for notary information systems. Since a year, they also offer the complete notary system 'Notarisdossier Pro'. The number of notaries that switch to the online Notarisdossier Pro is increasing rapidly. Van Brug Software has developed the software solution Codex. Clients can supplement Codex with the Notarisdossier modules or make the switch to be entirely web-based. "Our modules always have fitted seamlessly with the solutions of Van Brug Software, who is the market leader. Notarisdossier has been developed using the latest techniques. Joining forces creates a powerful combination." As said by Rob van Weeghel, director of Dirict.

A complementary proposition

Van Brug Software and Dirict will serve the notary market together. Dirict will keep its existing and independent proposition with Notarisdossier Pro. Notarisdossier has been developed in collaboration with clients, and this will not change. Founders Niels Radstake and Rob van Weeghel and their employees will remain an autonomous team. Rob van Weeghel: "Dirict is known for its quick time to market and its collaborative thinking with our clients. And we will continue to do so from our office in Utrecht."
