Aptean is an American software company based in Alpharetta, Georgia. It develops enterprise software that supports core operational functions such as manufacturing, distribution, supply chain management, and product lifecycle management (PLM). The company’s products are used by mid-sized and enterprise organisations operating in industries including food and beverage, fresh produce, fashion and apparel, transportation, retail, logistics, financial services, and both process manufacturing and discrete manufacturing.

History

Aptean was formed in August 2012 through the merger of Consona Corporation, an Indianapolis-based ERP and CRM software provider, and CDC Software, a spin-out of CDC Corporation.

In 2015 Aptean entered the healthcare-software field by acquiring Canada-based Medworxx Solutions.

In late 2024, Reuters reported that Aptean subsidiary Logility was exploring a sale with Lazard as financial advisor. A competing offer was disclosed in March 2025.

By early 2025, Aptean had completed 55 acquisitions under the leadership of CEO TVN Reddy, who was appointed in 2018, expanding the company’s operational footprint and sector-specific product offerings. Industry research estimates indicate Aptean serves over 11,000 customers.

Recognition

Aptean has been included in several industry rankings and analyst reports.
