Augsburg, Germany, September 1, 2025 – Juniper Group, an operating group of Vela Software and Constellation Software, Inc. (TSX:CSU), is pleased to announce the acquisition of BMF Media Information Technology GmbH (“BMF”), an industry-leading automotive software company offering fitment validation, EDI services, compliance certifications, and 2D/3D visualizations of fitted automotive tires and rims.
Through their mission-critical solutions, namely the ProVis and Datahub product families, BMF simplifies fitment validation and compliance at scale while integrating EDI/BI and immersive visualization across the automotive ecosystem. BMF will continue to operate as a standalone business unit within Juniper Group’s Smart Software portfolio, further expanding the portfolio’s presence in the automotive industry.

Swoboda joining the board with experience from FACTON and CrescentOne, two fellow companies of the Smart Software portfolio. Commenting on the acquisition, Heiko Foltys, CEO, said: “We look forward to improving our service offering and data-driven technologies thanks to our newly shared resources with the Juniper Group network. As we join a global family of leaders in our industry, we are excited to share best practices and gain access to experienced partners.”
Alexander M. Swoboda emphasized the long-term vision behind the acquisition: “We are proud to have BMF join the team – it marks an exciting milestone as we strengthen our position in the DACH region and deepen our footprint of the automotive industry. BMF has a unique capability to configure and visualize wheels and tires on vehicles with over 500 billion data sets. I am excited to help BMF to grow in Europe and beyond, leveraging Constellation Software’s global experience in innovation and long-term growth.”
Co-founders Wolfgang Brender and Gudrun Brender look forward to stepping down from BMF after over 30 years at the helm. Wolfgang said: “There comes a time in every entrepreneur’s life, when it is time to pass the baton. It was crucial to us to find a long-term home for the company.
