Edison‑based Daida announced its sixth add‑on purchase under HiGro Group backing, buying Connecticut‑based Scan-Optics. The deal adds an intelligent document processing specialist to Daida’s portfolio of business process, digitization and enterprise content management services. Scan‑Optics, founded in 1968, serves government agencies, universities and insurers, broadening Daida’s client mix.

The acquisition marks Daida’s second deal in early 2026, signaling an aggressive rollout of digital transformation capabilities. By integrating Scan‑Optics’ AI‑driven capture and workflow tools, Daida can offer end‑to‑end solutions that automate records handling for public and financial sectors. The move reinforces Daida’s strategy to consolidate fragmented niche providers and scale cross‑sell opportunities.

Investors will watch how the combined entity leverages economies of scale to improve margins. The expanded service suite positions Daida to capture rising demand for cloud‑based content management amid tightening budgets in municipalities and higher education. The transaction solidifies Daida’s foothold in a market where efficient document processing is increasingly tied to regulatory compliance.
