EMS LINQ INC (LINQ) of Wilmington, an administrative software solution for K-12 schools and districts, announced it has acquired Colyar Technology Solutions, an Arizona-based school nutrition management software provider.

"The partnership brings together industry leading solutions that empower schools and state agencies to streamline the management of their child nutrition programs," according to an announcement Tuesday.

The financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Greg Baker, who has served as CEO for Colyar since 2018, has now taken the role of president and general manager of the Colyar business unit and LINQ Nutrition, a news release stated.

According to the release, Baker will focus on further developing both product lines to help school districts manage their meals programs efficiently while identifying ways to increase efficiencies between districts and their respective state agencies.
