Dorado Software Group

Dorado Software Group acquires and manages mission-critical software companies focused on environmental sustainability. It operates as part of Constellation Software Inc. (TSX:CSU), which has acquired more than 1,300 software businesses since 1995. Rather than investing with a view to exit, Dorado offers acquired companies a permanent home, along with operational expertise and a global network. Its portfolio companies retain their own brands and cultures; the stated approach is to nurture each firm's distinctive strengths rather than standardise or control them.

The group's technical work spans 2D/3D product development software, textile design and production software, environmental intelligence and traceable supply chains. Two products anchor the current portfolio. NedGraphics provides textile design and production software used to reduce waste and improve speed to market in fashion, flooring, automotive and furniture production. Optitex covers 2D/3D product development for the same industries. Together the portfolio serves more than 130,000 customers in over 100 countries.

Dorado works across industry verticals including renewable energy, clean water, waste management, sustainable agriculture, traceable supply chains and resource-conscious manufacturing. The company states a long-term perspective, supporting businesses across generations of leadership, with an emphasis on permanence over capital and on measurable impact and regeneration in its sustainability work.
