ARMS Acquires ATIMS, the Market-Leading Cloud-Based Jail Management System

New York, NY — February 2026 — ARMS, a Vertica Capital Partners portfolio company and leading provider of cloud-based public safety software, today announced the acquisition of ATIMS (Advanced Technologies & Intelligent Management Systems), the market-leading cloud-based jail management system serving correctional facilities across the United States.

Expanding the Public Safety Platform

ATIMS provides an end-to-end jail management solution that handles inmate booking, tracking, commissary, visitation scheduling, and compliance reporting for correctional facilities ranging from county jails to large metropolitan detention centers. The platform is recognized as the leading cloud-native solution in its category, serving hundreds of facilities nationwide.

By bringing ATIMS into the ARMS ecosystem, the combined organization can now offer public safety agencies a unified platform spanning patrol, records management, dispatch, parking enforcement, mobile field tools, and corrections — a breadth of capability that no single competitor in the small-to-mid-sized agency segment currently matches.

A Proven Acquisition Playbook

The ATIMS acquisition follows the successful integrations of Cardinal Tracking, InSynch, and LawTrak, all completed within the past two years. Each acquisition has expanded ARMS’ geographic reach, product capabilities, and customer base while maintaining the company’s hallmark 98% customer retention rate.

“ATIMS is the gold standard in cloud-based jail management, and this combination allows us to serve our customers across the full spectrum of public safety operations. We are excited to welcome the ATIMS team and their customers into the ARMS family.” — Philip Vorobeychik, Managing Director and Co-Founder

Vertica Capital Partners has supported ARMS’ M&A strategy from the outset, providing sourcing, evaluation, and post-merger integration resources to ensure each acquisition strengthens the platform without disrupting the customer experience. Since Vertica’s initial investment, ARMS has grown revenue 3.5x while serving over 900 agencies across 45 states.
