Battery Ventures‑backed Ortec has acquired Klages & Partner, a German developer that builds clinical staff management software for hospitals, clinics and care facilities. The deal brings more than 200 healthcare customers into Ortec’s portfolio, which already offers tools for supply‑chain planning and workforce management across industrial and commercial sectors. The purchase follows a trend of software vendors bundling staffing solutions with logistics platforms, a response to chronic workforce shortages in health care.

By integrating Klages’s real‑time scheduling and credential‑tracking features, Ortec can offer a single, end‑to‑end system that aligns staffing needs with supply‑chain flows. The move also strengthens Ortec’s position in the European market, where demand for digital health‑operations tools is accelerating. Industry analysts say the acquisition could spur further consolidation as firms look to broaden their product suites.

Ortec will likely roll out the combined platform over the next 12 months, targeting hospitals that need tighter coordination between staffing and inventory.
