In December 2017 German software investor BID Equity has simultaneously acquired majority stakes in the Dutch Regas Group and German Heimbas GmbH.

BID Equity Fund III focuses on investments in European software companies in the social care sector. Key management members reinvested in the newly formed group.
Regas provides cloud-based electronic patient file software with flexible and adaptable workflow solutions for clients in the care sector ranging from social shelters to youth and mental care providers in the Benelux. In Germany, the company provides software in the youth care segment. Since its foundation in 1997 Regas became the market leader in several market segments in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
