M&A
Banking-focused digitalisation technology provider Q2 Holdings has acquired Sensibill, a Canada-based financial institution-focused data aggregator backed by financial services firm National Bank of Canada and enterprise software provider OpenText, for an undisclosed amount. Both corporates took part in a 2019 series B round which hiked Sensibill’s overall funding to over $46m.
Nutrition analysis software provider Esha Research has merged with FoodLogiq, a US-based food safety monitoring service backed by quality management tool manufacturer Testo, meat processor Tyson Foods and consultancy Clarkston-Potomac. FoodLogiq had raised at least $29.5m as of a $10m round in 2019.
