Main Capital-backed Mach, a German ERP software provider, has acquired SMS Stiewi, a travel management platform specializing in non-wage personnel expenses like travel, relocation, and separation costs. The deal, Mach’s sixth acquisition since 2020, expands its footprint in public sector financial management tools. SMS Stiewi’s software integrates with Mach’s existing ERP systems, streamlining administrative workflows for municipalities and agencies. Aachen-based Mach leverages this move to strengthen its position as a one-stop solution for public sector digital transformation.

The acquisition aligns with growing demand for cloud-based platforms that simplify compliance and cost tracking in government operations.
