Copenhagen-based software company Omnidocs has acquired Dutch WoodWing, making it one of Europe’s largest players in managing corporate documents and data. The deal brings the company to more than 400 employees across nine countries, with combined revenue exceeding € 70 million (DKK 500 million).
The acquisition is the company’s seventh in three years, and it comes at a strategically opportune time. According to Omnidocs, up to 30 percent of its existing customers are looking for European alternatives to the predominantly American technology they currently use, while advances in AI increase the need to use knowledge and documents efficiently.
“The acquisition of WoodWing gives us access to new technologies, strong AI expertise and brings additional talent to our team. It also strengthens our foothold in the US. This takes Omnidocs to a new scale and brings us closer to our ambition of becoming Europe’s largest provider of solutions for automating and managing business documents and digital content. It also enables us to meet the strong demand from businesses seeking greater control over the quality and reliability of the data and content in their documents,”
said Jeppe Schytte-Hansen, founder and CEO of Omnidocs.
Although Omnidocs may not be widely known in the broader business community, it has built a substantial international business around an often overlooked but business-critical task: managing large companies’ documents and data. AI only makes this more important, as errors and outdated information can more easily be reused and spread through contracts, reports, and customer letters.
“AI enables businesses to produce documents at an unprecedented pace. But as the volume of content explodes, ensuring quality becomes harder. Errors can spread rapidly across business documents that are critical to operations, and when people cannot trust their own content, the consequences can be significant. That is exactly the challenge we are addressing through the acquisition of WoodWing. Together, we have five million users, and we are now bringing our solutions together to manage the entire document lifecycle, from the initial template to final archiving. Our goal is to create a reliable foundation of accurate, consistent information that both employees and AI can confidently build on,”
said Jeppe Schytte-Hansen.
Stronger Position in the US
WoodWing, headquartered in the Netherlands, develops software for organizing and storing knowledge and producing and publishing digital content, with more than 1,500 customers in over 60 countries. The company also has a substantial business in the US, one of Omnidocs’ most important markets, which currently accounts for approximately 20 percent of its revenue.
Following the acquisition, Omnidocs has more than 8,000 customers and offices in Denmark, the Netherlands, England, Germany, Switzerland, the US, Malaysia, Belgium, and Portugal. Its customers include Novo, Arla, Heineken, GN, Demant, Bang & Olufsen, ATP, BDO, Coloplast, SEB, Ramboll, Warner Music Group, and the Capital Region of Denmark.
The deal brings together two companies in which Main Capital Partners had already invested. The Dutch private equity firm acquired a stake in WoodWing in 2020 and in Omnidocs Group in 2024.
“Denmark is an important market for Main Capital Partners because it consistently produces strong software companies with the ambition and ability to grow internationally. Omnidocs is a great example of that. Since our investment in early 2024, the company has more than tripled in size and built a strong international position. The combination with WoodWing marks another significant step in that journey, bringing together two highly complementary businesses and further strengthening Omnidocs’ global market position,”
said Wessel Ploegmakers, Partner and Head of Nordics at Main Capital Partners
