Clarify current ownership and product naming before integrating with 'Marcotte' or 'BCMI' batch/dispatch software

Steps

1. Confirm via Command Alkon's and Thoma Bravo's press releases (globenewswire.com, July 10, 2024) that Command Alkon acquired Marcotte Systems — Marcotte Batch and Marcotte Batch CP are now Command Alkon product lines, not an independent vendor.
2. Check commandalkon.com/products/marcotte-batch-cp for the current (2026) product page and positioning under the Command Alkon brand.
3. Separately confirm BCMI Corporation (bcmicorp.com) is NOT part of Command Alkon/Marcotte, but as of June 5, 2025 BCMI Corp. merged with XBE (x-b-e.com) into one combined company — the merger release names Sean Devine (XBE founder) as CEO of the combined entity and Craig Yeack (BCMI founder) as President. The combined company continues to market both brands' product lines (BCMI Ready-Mix Dispatch, Material Pro, Material Now, plus XBE's PriceBee and Gauge), so BCMI is best described as a distinct company still separate from Command Alkon/Marcotte, but no longer a simple standalone independent business post-merger.
4. If the goal is Marcotte's legacy batch-control integration, route the request through Command Alkon's partner/API program rather than searching for a standalone 'Marcotte' vendor.
5. If the goal is BCMI's Material Now platform, contact BCMI directly — their January 2025 integration announcement with binni Concrete (bcmicorp.com press release dated January 16-17, 2025) illustrates how they structure partner integrations, and any current outreach should account for the combined BCMI/XBE entity structure post-merger.
