Synergies for clients
All employees of absence.io will be taken over by softgarden as part of the acquisition. Mathias Heese, softgarden CEO, will join the management board of the acquired company and continue its current business. Nothing will change for the clients of either absence.io or softgarden. From now on, however, clients of both companies will be able to opt for additional solutions which reasonably complement their existing offerings.
