Rotterdam, Netherlands. 6th January, 2026 – Anywhere365 Group B.V. (“AnywhereNow”), a global pioneer and innovator in AI-first customer experience solutions today announced the decision to sell IQ Messenger (“IQM”), a leading provider of a vendor-neutral critical communication platform for healthcare institutions, to Main Capital Partners (“Main”). Terms of the transaction were not disclosed and the acquisition is subject to customary approvals and completion of the consultation process with the works council of AnywhereNow.

AnywhereNow helps brands deliver exceptional customer experiences through enhanced engagement, efficient workforce collaboration, AI-driven insights, Agentic AI platforms, and a full omni-channel service experience, leveraging the power of Teams and Azure Communication Services as well as considerable integrations including SAP, Salesforce and ServiceNow. AnywhereNow is backed by Bregal Milestone, a leading software growth private equity firm, since late 2019. As part of the partnership, AnywhereNow has completed 5 acquisitions in recent years, including IQM in late 2019.

The sale of IQM is aligned with AnywhereNow’s strategy, which is focused on its core corporate Customer Experience SaaS platform, and crystallises significant value of AnywhereNow whilst allowing IQM to accelerate its growth journey via the backing from Main, a leading software investment firm with extensive experience in healthcare software. Main will help IQM drive continued innovation to create value for its customers, while maintaining a strong emphasis on customer satisfaction. Main will also support an ambitious strategy to accelerate (international) expansion through both organic growth and a targeted buy-and-build approach.

“The sale of IQM is a key milestone for AnywhereNow and allows us to exclusively focus on our fast-growing corporate Customer Experience SaaS activities, customers and product roadmap. We’re very proud of the journey achieved with IQM in recent years and believe that Main is the best possible partner for IQM and will help unlock its full growth potential”, said Will Blench, CEO of AnywhereNow.
