SDS, a leading provider of development solutions for housing associations, local governments, and private developers, is has announced its recent acquisition by Valsoft.
In May of this year, SDS signed a definitive agreement for sale of its business to Valsoft, a Montreal-based company specialising in the acquisition, management, and growth of software companies, who will be able to ensure its continued success and strong customer service.
This strategic move marks a new chapter for both organisations and reinforces SDS’s commitment to delivering software tools and consultancy services to its valued customers in the affordable housing space.
Over the course of the past 28 years, SDS has become one of the major providers of property development and management solutions, empowering their customers to succeed with software tools and consultancy services for effectively managing their development, rental, and conveyance processes.

Their software, developed by experienced professionals who understand the challenges of social housing, provides users with unmatched control and visibility.
Valsoft is committed to continuing the work that SDS has done in the housing sector and will be maintaining the SDS name, brand, and the products that hundreds of organisations trust to manage their operations daily.

On a day-to-day basis, operations will remain uninterrupted, and customers will still benefit from round-the-clock customer service, ensuring a smooth transition.
However, SDS now has a wealth of additional capabilities to continue driving value for its customer base.
The acquisition will enable the company to expand its reach, introduce new technologies, and streamline operations.
