Access4 has announced its acquisition of UK-based Luminate Wholesale as a key component of its strategy for international expansion.
Luminate is known in the United Kingdom as a provider of white-label hosted voice solutions, enabling resellers to manage their brand, pricing, and customer service independently. The acquisition allows Access4 to extend its SaaS Communications Platform, SASBOSS, to UK markets, providing channel partners with enhanced automation and the delivery of unified communications (UC), contact centre (CX), and user experience (UX) services.
Tim Jackson, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Access4, remarked on the strategic importance of introducing SASBOSS to the UK, particularly amidst industry changes such as the phase-out of the copper network. "Bringing SASBOSS to the UK is a game-changer for service providers looking to differentiate themselves in a rapidly evolving market," said Jackson. "With the copper switch-off accelerating the need for next-generation cloud solutions, our platform enables partners to scale efficiently, automate service delivery, and provides end-customers with best-in-class unified communications, contact centre, and user experience solutions."
For approximately ten years, Access4 has supported service providers in Australia and New Zealand with cloud communication solutions designed for scalability. This acquisition comes at a significant time as the UK market adjusts to the shutting down of copper networks, providing Access4 the opportunity to help service providers streamline and grow their cloud offerings while presenting new potential for revenue.
Jonathan Walker, Managing Director of Luminate, spoke positively about the transition to Access4 and highlighted the benefits expected from the integration of SASBOSS. "What excites us most about this partnership is how the SASBOSS platform will transform the way our partners operate," Walker stated. "It's not just about streamlining service delivery — it's about enabling our resellers to scale faster, automate intelligently, and deliver a better customer experience with less overhead. This is a genuine step-change in what's possible for UK channel businesses, and it gives our partners a real edge in a market that's hungry for innovation."
This transaction boosts Access4's UK presence and indicates the SASBOSS platform's adaptability and scalability beyond the Australia and New Zealand regions. Luminate's team of ten joins Access4, aiding in the smooth transition of services and the reassurance of continuing operations for all staff.
Jonathan Walker will take on a new role in Access4's executive leadership team, contributing to the company's strategic direction and strengthening connections with partners and suppliers throughout the UK.
As Access4 continues its expansion into Europe, the company emphasises its commitment to offering service providers solutions that promote efficiency, growth, and long-term success. The transaction with Luminate Wholesale marks a major step in Access4's ongoing international growth efforts.
