Banyan Software, an acquirer and operator of mission-critical software businesses, is pleased to announce the acquisition of GaP Solutions Pty Ltd, a leading Australian provider of integrated point-of-sale, back-office, and loyalty software built specifically for independent grocery retailers. This partnership supports GaP’s ongoing growth and product innovation while staying true to the values that have guided the business.
Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Adelaide, South Australia, GaP Solutions began as a supplier of hardware to local supermarkets and bakeries. Through close relationships with store owners, founder John Goodacre recognized a critical need for technology tailored to the complexities of independent grocery, fresh food, and fuel retail. That insight led GaP to evolve into a full-service retail software provider, developing the proprietary Easy Manager Cloud platform to offer retailers a single, integrated solution.
From the beginning, GaP has prioritized domain expertise, long-term customer partnerships, and operational reliability. This focus has helped establish GaP as a trusted technology partner to independent retailers across Australia.
John sought a partner who would honor the company’s legacy and set the company up for long-term success. His priorities were clear: protect the culture, support the team and customers, and ensure continuity in leadership and values. That alignment made Banyan the right fit to carry GaP forward.
Looking ahead, GaP enters its next chapter with a strong foundation and continued focus on serving the needs of independent retailers. With Banyan’s support, the company is well-positioned to build on its legacy, strengthen customer partnerships, and continue delivering reliable solutions to the market.
