RUX Software acquires CBSi to expand oilfield services reach

RUX Software has acquired CBSi, a Plano, Texas-based Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partner with decades of oilfield services and field operations experience. The deal adds the ofsERP platform and CBSi’s team to RUX as the company pushes deeper into commercial field services and asset-heavy industries.

Why it matters: - The acquisition expands RUX Software’s footprint in oilfield services and commercial field services. - RUX gains CBSi’s domain expertise, customer relationships and ofsERP®, a purpose-built ERP platform for asset-heavy operations. - The deal adds more resources behind CBSi’s installed base as field service and construction companies look for centralized operations tools.

What happened: - RUX Software announced the acquisition of CBSi, also known as Computer Business Solutions, Inc., on September 16, 2026. - CBSi is a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partner based in Plano, Texas. - The acquisition brings CBSi’s team into the RUX portfolio. - RUX described CBSi as a fit for its strategy in industrial equipment and commercial field services.

The details: - CBSi has spent decades supporting B2B distributors, industrial manufacturers and field service organizations. - CBSi built ofsERP® as a Microsoft-certified extension for Dynamics 365 Business Central. - ofsERP® is designed for oilfield services and construction companies that need centralized asset management, field service operations, equipment rental, inspection workflows, scheduled maintenance and transportation management. - CBSi’s invoicing engine has produced billing-cycle reductions of up to 80% for customers using the system. - CBSi has more than 35 years of ERP implementation experience. - RUX said it offers a broad set of Business Applications, including Rentals, Service and more than 30 productivity and automation tools built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. - RUX said its software is designed to provide end-to-end visibility from quote to cash and connect each asset to each dollar.

Between the lines: - The acquisition looks like a talent-and-technology purchase as much as a market expansion move. - CBSi brings a specialized product and a long operating history in a narrow vertical, which can be hard to replicate quickly. - RUX’s comments suggest the company wants to deepen trust with existing clients while widening its reach in asset-intensive industries. - Dennis Smith, founder of CBSi, said the goal was to find an organization that could carry CBSi’s legacy forward while continuing client support. - Smith said CBSi’s customers will keep the same team and support, now backed by RUX’s broader product set and resources.

What's next: - RUX will integrate CBSi and its customer relationships into its broader industrial and field-service software business. - CBSi customers are expected to continue using the same support structure while gaining access to RUX’s larger product portfolio. - The combined company will likely use the acquisition to push further into oilfield services, construction and related asset-heavy markets.

The bottom line: - RUX is buying specialized expertise and a proven vertical software platform to strengthen its position in commercial field services and oilfield services.
