Terms were not disclosed.
What does HMM do? Founded in 2006, HMM runs X3.Net, a digital platform connecting insurers, device providers, and thousands of healthcare providers across Germany to manage cost estimates, approvals, billing, and reimbursements in real time. It sells the technology both as software and as a managed service, and employs more than 200 people.
Why now? HMM's founders sought a long-term owner to supply capital, enhance the product, and speed up AI adoption while keeping customer relationships intact. "We wanted an owner who would commit to the platform for the long term, invest in it, and stand behind the customer relationships we have spent two decades building," said founder Istok KespretDealroom has a profile for this one.

What changes? Little, for now. Banyan says the team stays in Moers and existing relationships remain in place.
What's Banyan's playbook? The company follows a "buy-grow-and-hold-for-life" approach backed by permanent capital, acquiring niche software businesses and keeping them long term. HMM joins a portfolio of more than 100 companies across the Americas, Europe, and APAC.
What's the endgame? Banyan plans to invest in the platform and push automation. "We're backing that stability with real investment: in the leading eHealth platform, in responsible automation and in the people who make this business work for customers every day," said Kay-Ingo GreveDealroom has a profile for this one.

The signal: The deal reflects the steady march of permanent-capital acquirers into specialised vertical software, where sticky customer relationships and recurring revenue are prized. Regulated niches like eHealth, with entrenched ties to insurers and providers, are a natural target for buyers promising continuity over quick exits.
