Banyan Software Expands Public Sector Reach with Acquisition of Northwoods Consulting Partners, Inc.

Banyan Software, a leading acquirer and operator of mission-critical software businesses, is pleased to announce its acquisition of Northwoods Consulting Partners, Inc. (Northwoods), a trusted provider of software solutions that support frontline workers for state and county Health & Human Services (HHS) agencies.

Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Dublin, Ohio, Northwoods’ flagship offering Traverse is a modern, cloud-native system of engagement designed specifically for frontline caseworkers. Most recently in 2023, Northwoods launched Case Aide Services, a purpose-built service to reduce time-consuming administrative tasks facing frontline caseworkers today and allowing them to further prioritize people work over paperwork. The company serves a loyal base of government clients across the US and is known for its strong domain expertise, mobile solutions that work even without internet access, and commitment to improving outcomes for vulnerable populations.

Building Northwoods has been the work of a lifetime, and it was important to me to find a partner who would honor our mission and the people behind it. Banyan’s long-term approach and respect for what we’ve built gave me confidence that Northwoods is in good hands for this next stage.

Gary Heinze • Owner and Chairman of Northwoods

Northwoods has built a trusted reputation in public sector software through thoughtful product design and genuine partnerships with HHS agencies. We’re honored to support the team as they fast-track investments in Traverse and bring powerful automation and AI tools to caseworkers while also deepening state integrations to drive greater value for the communities they serve
