DyFlex, which has built a reputation for delivering cutting-edge SAP solutions across industries including mining, energy, utilities, distribution and manufacturing, has ambitious plans to scale its operations. With the backing of Five V Capital, DyFlex will drive both organic growth—through investments in new capabilities and geographic expansion—and inorganic growth via strategic mergers and acquisitions.

DyFlex remains committed to delivering unparalleled value to its customers by leveraging SAP’s latest innovations.

“Our customers are at the core of everything we do,” said Jason Heaney. “Through this partnership with Five V Capital, we are reinforcing our commitment to providing world-class solutions that drive operational efficiency, innovation, and long-term success for our customers. With enhanced resources, we can scale our offerings and provide even greater support to businesses navigating their digital transformation journeys.”

Why Five V Capital?

Five V Capital, a leading investor in high-growth technology and services businesses, identified DyFlex as the ideal partner due to its market leadership, deep SAP expertise, and strong growth potential.

“DyFlex is the largest independent SAP Platinum Partner in Australia, and with SAP mandating cloud migration, there is a significant market opportunity,” said Chris Adams, Managing Director at Five V Capital. “We are committed to supporting DyFlex in executing its vision, leveraging our experience in IT services and M&A to help drive meaningful expansion.”

Commitment to Customers and Employees

Despite its growth trajectory, DyFlex remains committed to maintaining the high standards of service, expertise, and innovation that have been central to its success. “For our customers and employees, this is all about amplification,” added Richard Lissett, Co-CEO of DyFlex Solutions. “We’re not changing who we are—we’re building on our strengths, enhancing our capabilities, and ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional value. We believe that sustainable growth comes from building a team of exceptional professionals and we are committed to fostering a dynamic, innovative, and rewarding work environment that attracts and retains the best talent.”

As part of this strategic shift, DyFlex has also strengthened its leadership team, with Peter Lander becoming Group Managing Director and Dennis Finn joining as Chairman and Angus Knapp as Chief Financial Officer. Their experience in IT services and enterprise technology will further support DyFlex’s expansion and growth.

The partnership represents a long-term commitment to growth, innovation, and market leadership in SAP consulting and cloud transformation.

Pierre Briand, Founder of SCD Advisory added:

 

After advising Acclimation on their sale to Capgemini 3 years ago and Chrome on their sale to Atturra last year, we were delighted to support the largest privately owned SAP partner in ANZ.

We congratulate DyFlex on their partnership with Five V Capital and wish them continued success as they build their position as a leading national SAP player. Our Prep4Sale workshop 3 years ago was instrumental in helping Dyflex unlock value and prepare for this milestone transaction. As this marks our 3rd deal in the SAP sector, we’re proud to have played a role in their growth story and look forward to seeing the next chapter of Dyflex with FiveV, a very reputable PE fund and growth partner in Australia. Well done Peter, Jason, Richard, Robert and the full Dyflex team!
