Procede Software, a provider of enterprise dealer management systems for the commercial vehicle industry, announced it has received a strategic majority investment from Rubicon Technology Partners, a middle-market private equity firm focused on enterprise software.
Procede said the investment will support accelerated product innovation and expanded integrations across the commercial vehicle ecosystem, as the company looks to build on its position with dealership groups and other commercial vehicle businesses.
The company’s flagship platform, Excede, is used by hundreds of commercial vehicle dealer locations across North America, and Procede said it is designed to streamline operations, improve decision-making, and strengthen performance across dealership departments.
Procede also highlighted a recent launch, Procede Intelligence, which adds AI capabilities to its platform as part of broader efforts to deliver data-driven insights and operational efficiency.
Rubicon said Procede aligns with its investment focus on enterprise software businesses with strong product leadership, customer-centric cultures, and scalable platforms.
