CHR Group Buys Rmoni, Andy to Forge Foodservice Tech Powerhouse

PARIS – June 01, 2026 – European digital food safety leader CHR Group today announced a major strategic consolidation, acquiring technology specialists Rmoni and Andy in a move poised to reshape the digital landscape for the global foodservice industry. Backed by a new strategic investment from PSG Equity and continued support from existing investor Verto, the acquisitions signal an aggressive push to create a comprehensive, all-in-one digital platform for restaurants, hotels, and catering operators worldwide.

The deal brings Benelux-based Rmoni, a specialist in real-time sensor monitoring, and Spain-headquartered Andy, a provider of operational management software, under the CHR Group umbrella. They join CHR’s flagship platforms, ePackPro and Adoria, which already serve approximately 185,000 users across 28,000 sites in nearly 50 countries. The move is a clear declaration of CHR's ambition to move beyond its core food safety and compliance offerings and become an indispensable digital partner for the entire foodservice operation.

Beyond Compliance: The Push for Operational Excellence

For years, digitalization in the kitchen has been synonymous with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) compliance. CHR Group’s ePackPro platform built its reputation on digitizing food safety self-checks and traceability. However, these new acquisitions reflect a significant shift in strategy, aiming to address a much broader spectrum of operational challenges.

“With Rmoni and Andy, we are taking a new step in the development of ePackPro,” said Stéphane Ankaoua, CEO at ePackPro and president of CHR Group, in the official announcement. “These acquisitions enable us to expand our offering beyond HACCP compliance by integrating two dimensions that have become critical for foodservice and food retail professionals: on-site operational management and connected equipment monitoring.”

This expansion taps into two of the most powerful trends in modern foodservice technology. Rmoni brings sophisticated Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities, providing advanced real-time sensor technology for monitoring critical parameters like temperature and humidity. For an industry where a malfunctioning freezer can lead to thousands of dollars in lost inventory and significant safety risks, Rmoni's wireless sensors and cloud-based analytics offer a proactive solution. This technology is already trusted by major international groups like McDonald's and Sodexo to automate quality control and ensure regulatory adherence.

Meanwhile, Andy provides a “digital assistant” for multi-site restaurant chains, streamlining everything from daily checklists and cleaning schedules to production management and internal communications. Its software, utilized by global brands such as Starbucks and Domino's Pizza across 5,000 sites, is designed to eliminate manual paperwork, reduce human error, and provide management with real-time visibility across all locations. By integrating these tools, CHR Group aims to offer a unified system where food safety compliance, equipment performance, and daily staff workflows are managed seamlessly within a single ecosystem.

Fueling Global Ambitions: The Role of Private Equity

The engine behind CHR Group's aggressive expansion is significant financial backing from the private equity sector. The deal is supported by a new strategic investment from PSG Equity, a growth equity firm known for partnering with high-growth software companies, alongside the continued backing of existing investor Verto. This infusion of capital is not just for funding the acquisitions but for fueling a much larger global strategy.

Private equity investment allows CHR Group to accelerate its international development, particularly in the home markets of its new acquisitions. The move immediately strengthens the group’s footprint in Spain, Belgium, and the Netherlands. More importantly, it provides the war chest for further M&A activity and organic growth in new territories.

The company's ambition is clearly global. CHR Group recently established a subsidiary in Dubai to spearhead expansion into the Middle East and Asia, signaling that its vision extends far beyond European borders. The support from PSG Equity and Verto provides the strategic and financial muscle to compete on a global scale, transforming a European leader into a worldwide contender.

Reshaping the Competitive Landscape

By combining ePackPro, Adoria, Rmoni, and Andy, CHR Group is assembling a formidable suite of tools that few competitors can match. The global HACCP software market, projected to grow significantly in the coming years, is shifting towards integrated, cloud-based solutions. CHR is positioning itself to lead this shift, not just follow it.

The strategic advantage lies in offering an integrated platform that addresses multiple pain points. A restaurant operator will no longer need one vendor for HACCP compliance, another for supply chain management (Adoria's specialty), a third for IoT temperature sensors, and a fourth for operational checklists. CHR's vision is to provide a single, cohesive solution that delivers a holistic view of the business.

This consolidation significantly enhances CHR's appeal to the lucrative enterprise segment. Large, multi-site restaurant chains and hospitality groups value standardization, scalability, and centralized control—all features that a unified platform is uniquely positioned to provide. The combined client roster, which now includes some of the most recognizable names in foodservice, gives CHR Group immense credibility and a powerful springboard for cross-selling its expanded services. As the foodservice industry continues to grapple with tight margins, labor shortages, and increasing regulatory demands, the demand for comprehensive digital tools that boost efficiency and ensure safety has never been higher. CHR Group is making a bold play to be the definitive answer to that demand.
