In 2017, Auditdata acquired a Waterloo-based company, Simply Hearing Software, to strengthen their position as a global market leader of software solutions to streamline the workflow of audiology retailers. Simply Hearing Software had a strong focus on enterprise customers along with a presence in Australia and Asia Pacific, which was a great fit with Auditdata’s vision to continue to better serve their customers - big and small. 

 

The hearing healthcare industry as a whole represents a massive 9 Billion global market that is continuing to expand each year. Auditdata’s goal is simple - to help audiology retailers run their day-to-day business operations more smoothly. Their cloud-based platform streamlines everything including: marketing management and customer loyalty, appointment setting, invoicing, inventory management, and reporting integration with all of the key clinical systems.
