In January of 2020 Metal Building Software purchased the assets of Loseke Technologies, Inc (LTI). LTI has had a long history in the metal building industry and we’re grateful to have their staff join the MBS team. As a part of this acquisition the LTI products have been discontinued, however existing users will still have access to their software.
