TylerTechnologies TYL has reportedly acquired Modesto, CA-based CaseloadPro, a provider of digital tools for managing probation cases, for an undisclosed amount.
The acquisition will expand Tyler's courts and justice segment, which is the company’s second-largest unit, generating around 18% of total revenues.
Notably, the company’s court and justice offerings will get a boost with the addition of a comprehensive supervision solution for probation and parole departments and eventually strengthen its foothold in the probation market.
Moreover, the deal is expected to strengthen the Tyler Alliance initiative, which was launched in 2016 to help clients share data and engage in efficient communication across jurisdictions through a platform for creating safer communities.
