“We couldn’t be happier to announce our funding and acquisition of TSS at the same time. The financing will help us to aggressively grow our engineering and sales efforts in response to the expanding demand for our Smart Service Platform,” said Thomas Berlemann, CEO of B2X Care Solutions. “For us to be successful in India, we know that it will require very strong local capabilities.
