SHELBYVILLE, IL (January 7, 2021) – Software Solutions Integrated, LLC announced today the acquisition of K&K Management Solutions headquartered in Avon, Indiana. The acquisition will bring together leaders in the Agricultural and Energy Retail software industries.
K&K’s Energy Force is recognized as a “best in class” solution for the management of propane and refined fuel delivery. K&K is the exclusive marketer of Optimizer Plus – the only fully automated route optimization tool.

By putting customer service before all else and treating their employees and customers like family.”
