Saefix Completes Strategic Merger with XLENT Strategies’ Advanced Integrations Group, Appoints Dharmesh Patel as Chief Business Officer

[St Louis, MO] — March 2026 — Saefix, a leading provider of physical security and operations intelligence solutions, is proud to announce the completion of its strategic merger with XLENT Strategies’ Advanced Integrations and Software Development group. As part of this milestone, Saefix will assume all intellectual property previously developed under XLENT Strategies, significantly expanding its technology portfolio and market capabilities.

The merger, which formalizes a two-year joint venture between the two organizations, brings together complementary strengths in systems integration, software development, and emerging technology innovation. Both Saefix and XLENT Strategies have long shared a common mission: delivering differentiated, intelligence-driven solutions to critical infrastructure operators across the United States.

In conjunction with the merger, Saefix has appointed Dharmesh V. Patel as Chief Business Officer (CBO). In this role, Patel will drive overall strategic growth and market direction for Saefix’s Advanced Systems Integration division, with a focus on leveraging emerging technologies and software solutions to address the evolving needs of large campus and infrastructure operators.

“This merger represents the natural evolution of a partnership built on shared values and a shared mission,” said Dharmesh Patel. “Together, we are better positioned than ever to deliver the full spectrum — from concept to completion — of advanced integration and intelligence solutions that modern transportation hubs demand.”

“We are thrilled to have Dharmesh join the Saefix team. For the last two years, we have been operating together as partner companies. The completion of this merger enhances the partnership and aligns with our organization’s effectiveness,” said Zach Varwig, Chief Operating Officer.

Patel brings over 20 years of executive leadership across physical security, AI and digital intelligence, SaaS product development, and enterprise sales. As President of XLENT Strategies, he led large-scale deployments spanning major metropolitan transit authorities, international airports, and large-scale security command centers — delivering solutions ranging from real-time train and crew asset tracking to customized incident response software and OSINT technology expansion across Fortune 500 corporations and government agencies. He also holds several USPTO-granted patents for mobile communications technologies.

The combined organization reinforces Saefix’s position as a full-lifecycle technology partner — spanning concept planning, software development, system integration, and intelligent operations for the most demanding operational environments.
