Scansource acquires Advantix, forms Integrated Solutions and Services Group

ScanSource announced the creation of its Integrated Solutions and Services group. The ISS group is focused on developing solutions and services that will provide hardware value-added resellers the opportunity to wrap additional value around their hardware offerings. As the launching point for this new group, ScanSource has acquired Advantix, a VAR-focused, managed connectivity experience provider specializing in wireless enablement solutions. ScanSource has been working with Advantix for more than five years supporting hardware VARs looking to grow their mobility business. Advantix allows these partners to expand their mobility solutions and build their recurring revenue business, while realizing higher margins and providing greater value to their end-user customers. Founded in 2001 in Frisco, Texas, Advantix’s employees are committed to helping ScanSource hardware VARs seamlessly provide multi-carrier and single-carrier solutions to the end user, providing flexibility and ease in managing their wireless devices. Ansley Hoke has been named SVP, Integrated Solutions and Services and will head up this group. Hoke has been with ScanSource for more than 22 years and most recently served as SVP, Worldwide Marketing. Natasha Royer Coons and Nathan Brown will serve as Co-Presidents of Advantix, a ScanSource company. The acquisition closed on August 15, 2024, and the terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
