GROUPAUTO International Expands Digital Capabilities with Softeca Acquisition

On June 22, 2026, GROUPAUTO International (GAI) announced a significant milestone in its digital transformation journey by acquiring the remaining shares of Softeca, a software development firm based in Burgos, Spain. This acquisition signifies not only GAI's commitment to the automotive aftermarket sector but also solidifies its leadership in implementing digital solutions.

A Steady Progress Towards Digital Integration

Initially, GAI held a 33% stake in Softeca from 2022, which was the beginning of a fruitful partnership aimed at revolutionizing the automotive sector with technology. This complete acquisition comes at a crucial time as the automotive industry grapples with the growing demand for digital solutions that enhance operational efficiency and customer engagement.

The acquisition provides Softeca with the financial resources necessary to expand its innovative capacities and product offerings. This will enable the company to initiate new projects aimed at not only existing clients but also potential new markets across various industries.

Innovations Driving the Automotive Aftermarket

Since the inception of their collaboration, GAI and Softeca have successfully launched the GNM Systems, a modular platform that caters to parts distributors and workshops, and GPS, a data-driven tool designed for rebate management and forecasting. These projects are crucial for GAI’s ongoing digital transformation efforts. The complete acquisition allows GAI to broaden its digital offerings, which is essential for its global membership network.
