Arcadea Group, a long-term investor in global software businesses, announced the acquisition of Sofis, a provider of mission-critical software for Brazil’s healthcare sector focused on hemotherapy and cell therapy.
Founded in Rio de Janeiro in 1986 by Reynaldo Mendes, Sofis offers a portfolio of healthcare software products including Hemote Plus for blood bank and transfusion services management, Cellvida for cell therapy, and Salute for hospital management. The company also provides solutions for diagnostic medicine, ERP, and business intelligence.
Sofis serves more than 300 institutions across Brazil, including hospitals, clinics, laboratories, blood centers, and public healthcare agencies. The company’s software supports approximately 75,000 blood collections and 150,000 transfusions each month.
The acquisition marks Arcadea Group’s fourth investment in the Brazilian healthcare software sector, following investments in Animati, Intuitive Care, and WMI.
Daniel Eisen said the company sees a significant long-term opportunity in supporting healthcare technology providers in Brazil.
KEY QUOTES:
“We evaluated a number of potential partners and chose Arcadea because their approach aligned with how we think about running Sofis. They invest with a long-term time horizon, and they understand that serving healthcare customers well requires sustained investment in product and people. Their existing portfolio companies in the healthcare space made it clear their commitment to excellence in our market. This is a significant milestone in our growth journey as we transition from a founder-owned company to one that now has the resources of a leading international player.”
Reynaldo Mendes, Founder and CEO, Sofis
“Sofis is a high-quality business with a differentiated product, deeply embedded customer relationships, and a disciplined operator at the helm. Reynaldo and his team have spent nearly four decades building software that plays a direct role in patient care across Brazil, and they have no intention of slowing down. Following our investments in Animati, Intuitive Care and WMI, Sofis extends our presence in a market where we see a meaningful opportunity for Arcadea to support companies in their long-term mission to serve healthcare providers with the highest-quality technology solutions.”
