Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton acted as exclusive financial advisor to Progression.
Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Corporate Finance is proud to have supported Progression, a Québec-based company recognized in the field of service management software, in its sale to Valsoft Corporation (“Valsoft”), a Montréal-based company specializing in the acquisition and operation of software firms in vertical markets.
Since 2006, Progression has been supporting service companies with its SaaS solution ProgressionLIVE, adopted by more than 900 clients and 20,000 users. The software brings together the core operational functions of service businesses: scheduling, task assignment, real-time tracking, invoicing, and accounting integration. By simplifying the management of these essential processes, the solution directly contributes to improving operational performance and the quality of service delivered to clients. With nearly 20 years of experience, Progression is now recognized as a trusted partner for companies operating in sectors such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical work, construction, and several other service industries.
This transaction marks an important milestone in the evolution of Progression. The company will continue to operate independently with its current team and leadership, while benefiting from Valsoft’s global expertise, operational support, and long-term growth vision.
“Progression has never stopped evolving and growing since its foundation, and we are very proud of what the company has become. We therefore had very specific requirements to ensure the sustainability of what we have built over the past 20 years. The Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton team demonstrated remarkable professionalism in meeting our expectations and providing us with support,” said Louis-Philippe Poulin, President and Cofounder of Progression.
