Banyan Software, a long-term acquirer and operator of software businesses, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Javelin, a UK-based materials requirements planning (MRP) solution serving manufacturing and industrial small and medium-sized businesses. The Javelin team and product will become part of Berkeley Myles Solutions, Banyan’s existing platform in the UK manufacturing software market.
Developed within Hexagon AB, Javelin was purpose-built to address the complexity of production planning, inventory management, and compliance for UK manufacturers. Over time, the platform has become a vital tool for customers requiring reliable, industry-specific software to manage day-to-day operations.
As Hexagon evolved its strategic focus, Banyan worked closely with Hexagon to establish a path forward that prioritizes long term continuity, investment and support for customers.
“Our focus from the outset was on ensuring ongoing support and stability for the teams and manufacturers who rely on this platform. Javelin plays a critical role in its customers’ operations, and we saw an opportunity to provide a long-term home for both the product and its users. Bringing it into Berkeley Myles allows us to build on an existing foundation in the UK manufacturing sector while expanding our capabilities through the Javelin feature set.”
Claire Rollins • Portfolio Leader at Banyan Software
Members of the Javelin team, including those supporting customers day to day, will transition with the business, ensuring ongoing quality of service and expertise. Javelin customers will continue using the product as they do today, with an increased focus on thoughtful investment and ongoing development of the platform over time.
“Javelin is a natural fit alongside our platform. Both businesses share a deep understanding of UK manufacturing workflows and a commitment to supporting customers over the long term. Our priority is to ensure a smooth transition and maintain the trust customers place in the software every day.”
