aPriori Receives Growth Investment from Vista Credit Partners for its Manufacturing Insights Platform

CONCORD, MASS. – aPriori today announced a growth investment from Vista Credit Partners, a subsidiary of Vista Equity Partners and strategic financing partner focused on the enterprise software, data, and technology markets. The funding will be used to support continued innovation and meet growing demand for aPriori’s cloud-based solution, which empowers manufacturers and product designers to accurately estimate, manage, and optimize production costs and sustainability.

“The aPriori Manufacturing Insights Platform helps manufacturing executives transform their businesses by simulating the digital impact that new and existing product designs will have on cost as well as carbon emissions, manufacturability, supply chain availability, and other attributes,” said Stephanie Feraday, aPriori President and Chief Executive Officer. “Vista Credit Partners provides us with resources and expertise to help drive our continued success.”

Rising material and energy costs, supply chain instability, and an evolving regulatory environment make it difficult for manufacturing leaders to optimize production costs and sustainability efforts. The aPriori Manufacturing Insights Platform helps meet these challenges by connecting teams and their product data – including design and cost engineering departments, sourcing and procurement teams, sustainability groups, and suppliers. This provides an end-to-end solution to automate product manufacturing cost estimations to increase profitability while mitigating downstream production issues and time-to-market delays.

Leading global manufacturers including Carrier, Boeing, Danfoss, GE Appliances, Thales, Vestas, Navistar, and Toyota trust aPriori to drive product design efficiency and cost savings.

“Vista Credit Partners is proud to support innovative enterprise software companies like aPriori with flexible capital solutions and operational support to further establish market leadership,” said David Flannery, President, Vista Credit Partners. “aPriori is providing manufacturers with valuable insights to make impactful business decisions, and we look forward to supporting the company in its next phase of growth,” added Pete Fisher, Managing Director, Vista Credit Partners.
