The sale to Main Capital Partners will drive accelerated international growth for IQ Messenger, whilst allowing AnywhereNow to focus on its core Customer Experience SaaS activities.
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.
