BID’S CONTRIBUTION 

The management team of midoco chose BID Equity as its partner to reach two goals: Broaden its international customer base and grow the business travel segment. BID Equity has subsequently supported the management team with a variety of organic and inorganic measures. By acquiring Swiss profile data management software provider Umbrella AG, BID Equity helped midoco to complement its core product that is characterized by long sales cycles with a powerful solution that caters for the same customer segments but requires less explanation and implementation. In parallel organic improvements have been implemented in the following areas:

  • Modularizing and standardizing the product offering
  • Modernization of the product development process
  • Professionalization of inbound and CRM processes
  • Pricing optimization

As the next wave of growth was aimed at North America, The co-investor of BID Equity Fund II aimed to find a new owner for its shares and sold its shares in 2019. BID Equity Fund II exited completely in the coming years, as well.
