PRO Landscape Acquires Visual Impact's EARTHSCAPES Design Software

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - April 21, 2016 - PRLog -- "We're thrilled to have the EARTHSCAPES users join the PRO Landscape community," said Pete Lord, President, of Drafix Software, Inc.  "We've competed with EARTHSCAPES for close to 20 years in a friendly, professional manner and we felt that by moving some of their assets to the PRO Landscape platform we will be able to provide an even better landscape design solution for both customer bases as well as new customers. "

The two companies reached a deal that accomplished PRO Landscape's needs to further expand its industry leading design software.  For Visual Impact Imaging's owners it allowed them to move on to other ventures.

"The PRO Landscape team has been great to work with throughout the acquisition process," said Anne Behner Coke, President of Visual Impact Imaging.  "We feel this is a great opportunity for the future of landscape design software.  Combining the strengths of the EARTHSCAPES application with the vision of the PRO Landscape development team will result in a strong design application for years to come."

Since most users are approaching their busy season Drafix Software will continue to offer support to EARTHSCAPES customers as the image library and key features are added to PRO Landscape.

Users of EARTHSCAPES who choose to migrate to PRO Landscape will benefit from the breadth of the product offering including use of the PRO Landscape Companion tablet app, which is included with PRO Landscape.
