BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA & BELLEVUE, WA – January 14, 2026 – Appenate Pty Ltd today announced the acquisition of Forms On Fire, Inc., merging two of the world’s most innovative no-code mobility platforms into a single global entity. The combined organization will operate under the Appenate brand, creating a vertically integrated powerhouse designed to deliver next-generation AI mobile field solutions and 24/7 “follow-the-sun” support.
While operating as distinct entities, the two companies have shared a decade-long technology DNA. Forms On Fire has been instrumental in driving the design and solutions velocity for clients, pioneering solutions for the US market. This acquisition formally unifies that shared product and solutions expertise with Appenate’s global engineering scale.
“We are combining the architects with the builders,” said Paul Du Bois, CEO of Appenate. “Forms On Fire has consistently pushed the boundaries of what our platform can do in high-compliance sectors like Retail, Energy, Field Service, and Manufacturing. By acquiring their operations and integrating their deep solution expertise, we are accelerating our roadmap, specifically in Applied AI and automated governance.”
Strategic Highlights:
- Unified Innovation: Consolidating product design and engineering ensures faster deployment of AI-driven capabilities for data capture and analytics.
- Global 24/7 Support: The entity leverages teams in the USA, Argentina, Australia, and South Africa to provide seamless, round-the-clock telephone and technical support.
- Deep Vertical Expertise: The merger scales Forms On Fire’s proven solution sets in Environmental Health & Safety (EHS), Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC), and Field Service Management to a global client base.
- Expanded Implementation Services: Appenate will now offer comprehensive solution architecture and implementation services worldwide, a capability previously exclusive to the US operations.
Effective immediately, Kendall Kunz, founder of Forms On Fire, will assume the role of President of Appenate USA and Global Chief Revenue Officer (CRO).
“This is a multiplication of value for our clients,” stated Kunz. “By joining forces, we strip away the barriers between market feedback and engineering execution. Our clients get the same robust platform they trust, now backed by a truly global support and services infrastructure.”
