As the new financial partners of Command Alkon, Thoma Bravo's expertise in B2B enterprise software will enable the company to accelerate the integration of quarrying and heavy construction supply chain with robust solutions that deliver higher value to customers.

"We admire how Command Alkon has captured a leading market share in the heavy work vertical, with a track record of proven performance over its nearly 45-year history," said A.J. Rohde, a partner at Thoma Bravo.

"With their introduction of CONNEX, Command Alkon is leading a new era of project certainty. We look forward to working together to further digitisation and supply chain transformation within heavy construction.

"Today, we embark on a new chapter in the Command Alkon story as we speed the execution of our strategy to integrate inter-company supply chain operations. This will provide real-time visibility into heavy material orders, quality and movements while boosting productivity for all stakeholders," said Phil Ramsey, CEO of Command Alkon. "We are excited about the future, backed by Thoma Bravo and their software and operational expertise."

The new partnership with Thoma Bravo will enable the company to expand on its vision of an integrated supply chain across the heavy construction market by accelerating the time to market for new solutions. By investing in next-generation, vertical-cloud capabilities, customers benefit from modern collaboration tools that digitise business processes, maximise efficiencies, improve decision making, and ensure certainty of project outcomes.
