Arizona Tribune - Capstone Transitions Away from Legacy Software and Targets "Full Stack AI" Transformation in 2026

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / February 5, 2026 / Capstone Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:CAPS), a tech-enabled building products distribution platform, today announced that as it accelerates its transformation to a "full stack AI" company over the course of 2026, it expects to rely less heavily on legacy software vendors such as Salesforce, Sage, Atlassian, Asana, Workday, and Adobe.

Matthew Lipman, Chief Executive Officer of Capstone, said, "As we architect the transformation, what would have been multiple million-dollar IT projects that take 18 months and are a complete distraction for the team will be done rapidly, with minimal disruption and at a small fraction of the cost."

He went on to say, "Our AI software will be constantly improving itself. AI will allow Capstone and other middle-market companies to implement capabilities that were unreachable. These tools are democratizing technology."

Capstone believes it can go "full stack AI" or "AI native" faster than other larger building products distributors. Kevin Grotke, President of Instone, a Capstone operating subsidiary, commented, "Brad Jacobs' efforts to transform building materials distribution at QXO reflect our own vision for the industry. But our nimble structure positions us to adopt and scale these capabilities faster than most."
