Riverside is continuing the build of its Spectrio on-hold marketing messaging platform with the buy of Message On Hold Plus (MOHPlus).
MOHPlus provides on-hold messaging at approximately 1,500 locations and it provides additional services including business music, auto attendant prompts and greetings. The company sells primarily to healthcare customers such as hospitals and physicians, but also has building supply, insurance, financial, and hospitality clients. MOHPlus is based in Greensboro, NC (www.mohplus.com).
“MOHPlus boasts a solid customer base in North Carolina with outstanding industry expertise,” said Riverside Principal Peter Tsang. “MOHPlus customers can look forward to continued excellent service in addition to new capabilities from Spectrio.”
This is the second add-on completed by Riverside since acquiring Spectrio in October 2014 from SJ Partners. Last month, Spectrio completed the acquisition of Sound Marketing Concepts, also a provider of on-hold marketing messaging. Sound Marketing Concepts is based north of Boston in Rowley, MA (www.soundmarketingconcepts.com).
Spectrio is a national provider of on-hold messaging and digital signage managed services. Services include content creation, professional production of audio or visual content, installation, and network management. The company is based near Tampa in Oldsmar, FL (www.spectrio.com).
Working with Mr. Tsang on the transactions for Riverside were Partner Chris Jones, Senior Associate Max Moehlmann, Associate Linda Xu and Operating Partner George Benson.
