Atermes Acquires Vrumun to Integrate Dutch Birth Care Software

Atermes, based in Lelystad and recognized as the leading provider of maternity care registration software in the Netherlands, has acquired Vrumun, a well-established software supplier for midwives and ultrasound centers. The acquisition, announced on May 18, 2026, marks a significant step toward creating an integrated digital platform for birth care professionals.

While financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed, the deal involves merging Vrumun’s software solutions into Atermes’ existing platform. This integration is planned to occur in phases to ensure uninterrupted service for current customers. Both companies will collaborate on developing innovative tools to improve communication, data exchange, and workflow efficiency among maternity care providers and their clients.

Atermes has been active since 2013 and currently supports approximately 80% of all births in the Netherlands through its software. The company expanded its offerings in January 2026 by introducing dossier registration software tailored for midwives, signaling its ambition to cover the entire birth care chain comprehensively.

Founded in 2008, Vrumun has built a strong reputation for delivering reliable software to first-line midwifery practices and echo centers. Its solutions are known for stability and user satisfaction, making it a trusted partner within Dutch maternity care.

The acquisition aligns with Atermes’ strategic goal to foster horizontal collaboration within birth care. Traditionally, maternity care organizations and midwives have operated with separate software providers. By combining expertise and platforms, Atermes aims to facilitate and optimize cooperation across these care segments.

Johan Deurwaarder, director of Atermes, emphasizes the importance of this integration: “The future of birth care requires closer collaboration among all parties involved. By uniting Atermes and Vrumun, we can develop software that not only supports but strengthens this cooperation.”

The integration will prioritize user experience, reducing administrative burdens and enhancing registration processes. Both companies are committed to maintaining continuity for existing clients while innovating to meet evolving regulatory and digital demands.

This acquisition comes amid broader industry trends emphasizing digital transformation and data-driven care coordination. As birth care providers face increasing complexity in regulations and patient needs, integrated software solutions become critical for operational efficiency and quality outcomes.

Financial details such as deal value and funding sources remain confidential. No external advisors were publicly disclosed in connection with the transaction.

Looking ahead, Atermes plans a phased rollout of the combined platform, ensuring seamless transition and ongoing support. The company also continues to collaborate with sector stakeholders on implementing the new KLIM methodology, which modernizes care indication processes and requires robust digital infrastructure.

By consolidating its position as the dominant software provider in Dutch birth care, Atermes aims to deliver smarter, more connected solutions that support healthcare professionals and improve patient care across the maternity and midwifery sectors.
