Sonitor and Tagnos have announced a strategic merger to create a comprehensive healthcare technology solution. The combined entity will offer a holistic platform that leverages precise location data to automate and optimize healthcare processes, including asset tracking, patient flow optimization, staff safety and workflow efficiency, infection control, and environmental monitoring [1].

The merger, which received enthusiastic approval from Tagnos's current shareholders, including the venture arm of prominent industry leader Zebra Technologies, marks a significant milestone for Sonitor and Tagnos. As a result of the merger, Zebra Ventures and several other institutional investors are now shareholders of Sonitor, Inc., further strengthening Sonitor’s position as an innovator in the healthcare technology landscape [1].

The combined entity will offer a suite of solutions designed to transform healthcare operations and patient care. Sonitor’s innovative SonitorONE™ RTLS infrastructure, featuring six embedded locating technologies, will be integrated with Tagnos’s advanced software platform, creating a powerful suite of solutions [1].

“This merger is transformative for Sonitor, Tagnos, and healthcare. By combining intelligent workflow software with unparalleled RTLS accuracy, we will deliver unmatched visibility, efficiency, and actionable insights to healthcare facilities,” said Matt Crane, CEO of Sonitor [1].

The merger aligns with the broader trend of healthcare organizations adopting advanced technologies to improve patient care and operational efficiency. According to Deloitte’s “2025 Global Health Care Executive Outlook,” 92 percent of healthcare executives are experimenting with or investing in generative AI, indicating a strong commitment to AI-driven transformation [2].

The newly merged company is committed to continued innovation and providing cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of the global healthcare market. Sonitor and Tagnos will continue to serve current customers without disruption, while work has already begun to accelerate innovations that promise to further integrate RTLS data, workflow automation, and cross-platform interoperability [1].
