Freiburg, 6 August 2024 – The international law firm ADVANT Beiten has advised Herder, a publishing group based in Freiburg, on the acquisition of the online portal and the apps of the Kidling brand from Quintic Digital GmbH in Berlin. The parties have agreed not to disclose the transaction volume.
The deal involves that the Herder start-up KITALINO acquires Kidling, an administrative software for nurseries. Kidling offers a digital solution for nursery management and parent communication. Through this acquisition, Herder becomes a comprehensive software provider for nurseries with its subsidiary KITALINO and Kidling.
Kitalino GmbH and Verlag Herder are part of the Herder publishing group. One of the main topics of the publishing house is education. Herder offers a large range of books on the subject, eight scientific journals, special issues and digital products. Kitalino GmbH, a subsidiary of the Herder group, is leading in the field of digital support for educational processes in nurseries. The company specialises in the creation and implementation of Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions that are specifically tailored to the structure and quality requirements of the workflow in nurseries. Their main product is the KITALINO software as a platform to enable digital development documentation and communication in compliance with data protection requirements.
Kidling, an enterprise of Quintic Digital GmbH, offers a comprehensive nursery software to make everyday life easier for professionals, parents and children. Both the browser and the app solution help to actively plan the week, document the children's development and optimise communication between nursery and parents. Digitalising these processes means that nursery professionals can work more efficiently and focus on what is actually important: the education and care of children.
The ADVANT Beiten team headed by Dr Barbara Mayer regularly provides legal advice to the Herder publishing group, most recently on the acquisition of essential parts of the publishing house Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft (wbg).
Advisor to the Herder publishing group:
ADVANT Beiten: Dr Barbara Mayer and Lisa Werle (both Corporate/M&A, Freiburg), Dr Erik Schmid (Labour Law, Munich).
