Austria-based coffee software company Cropster has acquired South Korean roaster software maker Firescope.
Daily Coffee News reported this acquisition, which advances Cropster's strategy to expand internationally through mergers and acquisitions.
This strategy was outlined when European growth investor Verdane took a majority stake in Cropster in October 2024.
Cropster has not publicly disclosed the financial terms of the Firescope acquisition, but the company announcement said further acquisitions are planned as Cropster deploys a “sizable war chest” from Verdane.
Firescope, founded in Seoul in 2020 by entrepreneur Jason Jin, developed an all-in-one roast profiling and roastery management app with real-time roast graphs, cloud logging and simple, self-service setup.
