FORUM Family Office Acquires Emergency Department Information System ERPath

​

FORUM Family Office (“FORUM”), via its sector holding company FORUM Software Mittelstandsholding SE, is acquiring the emergency department information system ERPath from eHealth-Tec GmbH, a subsidiary of the Zur-Rose Group, with effect from January 1, 2023, into ERPath Software GmbH.

ERPath's software covers the complete process chain in the emergency department. In addition to the core system, the software package includes special modules such as triage, trauma room protocol and billing. ERPath is one of three specialist providers for this software in Germany and has a market share of approximately 25%.

FORUM is already active in the field of software for the healthcare sector: in the area of control centers via SSE Software/Augsburg and in the area of mobile mission documentation via pulsation IT/Berlin. This gives ERPath an owner for whom software in this area is a core business and who has the specific expertise for it.

14 employees are being taken over. Tobias Leipold, co-founder and former CEO of eHealth-Tec, is part of the management team as a consultant in the Advisory Board, supporting corporate development/key accounts. The Berlin location will be retained.

Michael Veigel, CFO in the Germany segment of the Zur-Rose Group, comments on the transaction as follows:

We are pleased to have found a new owner for the ERPath software solution in FORUM Family Office, which has the know-how and resources to drive this business forward.

As a co-developer of the emergency room information system and part of the takeover team, Tobias Leipold ensures the necessary continuity for customers and employees. We wish the new team every success and all the best for a successful future.

FORUM Family Office invests the assets of a Munich family in medium-sized companies. FORUM's principles in the area of Family Equity for succession solutions are: permanent, decentralized, entrepreneurial – completely different from financial investors. This approach has already persuaded over 20 entrepreneurs to entrust FORUM with their life's work. Of these, 9 are software companies with combined sales of more than EUR 60 million and approximately 450 employees.
