PDI Technologies Acquires Blue Cow Software to Expand & Strengthen Home Heat Offerings

ATLANTA, Ga. (Feb. 15, 2023) — PDI Technologies has acquired Blue Cow Software LLC, a fuel oil and propane management software business. With this acquisition, Blue Cow Software will divest from Repay Holdings Corporation, a provider of vertically integrated payment solutions.

Based in Middleton, Massachusetts with approximately 375 customers across North America, Blue Cow Software is an industry leader among heating oil and propane dealers. The capabilities it offers include fuel and service ordering, delivery route optimization and wireless communication with field teams, fuel oil- and propane-specific analytics, and customer relationship management and accounting, among other innovations.

“The Blue Cow Software team has built a proven solution that aligns with the overall growth strategy at PDI as we continue our work of connecting convenience retail and petroleum wholesale across the globe,” said Sid Gaitonde, president, enterprise productivity, at PDI. “PDI will accelerate the continued growth of Blue Cow through ongoing investment in its technologies and innovations.”

With the acquisition, PDI will continue to serve current Blue Cow Software customers. Additionally, PDI will begin offering Blue Cow Software solutions to both existing and future PDI home heat customers.

“The solutions and industry leadership that Blue Cow Software has provided for almost 20 years are great complements to what we offer at PDI,” said Drew Mize, executive vice president and general manager, North America Enterprise Productivity at PDI. “The Blue Cow team already is incredibly accomplished in a complicated vertical, and we welcome their extensive expertise and experience as we prepare to expand together at PDI.”

“We are excited at what joining PDI can offer our team members and our customers,” said Nick Quaratiello, senior VP, Blue Cow Software. “We’ve always focused on creating powerful yet practical tools for heating oil and propane dealers, and we look forward to expanding our innovations with PDI and its long-term investment.”
