Medius Sverige AB
Medius Sverige AB was founded in Linköping, Sweden in 2001 and has since grown into a global provider of accounts-payable automation and spend-management software. Led by CEO Per Åkerberg, the company operates from its Swedish headquarters and maintains a Stockholm office alongside international locations that serve its enterprise and mid-market client base. The core Medius platform digitizes invoice capture, approval routing, and payment processes within an organization. Customers typically deploy Medius to connect their accounts-payable function with existing ERP systems, including Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, and Oracle suites. The platform incorporates AI-driven data extraction to classify line items and detect anomalies — a direct replacement for paper inboxes and error-prone manual data entry. The company expanded its geographic footprint across Europe and into North America, signing clients in the United Kingdom, Benelux, and the Nordic region. In addition to its AP tooling, Medius has introduced supplier onboarding and contract-management modules that extend the platform into source-to-pay territory. Medius is backed by the European private equity firm Marlin Equity Partners, which acquired a majority stake in 2017 (per Marlin Equity Partners, 2017). The firm's current private-equity ownership positions it to pursue bolt-on acquisitions that widen the product suite. In February 2024, Medius appointed technology executive Frida Emilsson as CFO (per the firm, February 2024), signaling a leadership refresh focused on scaling operations and supporting further geographic expansion across its core markets. The company differs from lightweight SaaS AP tools by embedding compliance and fraud-detection controls designed specifically for the regulatory environments of Northern Europe. Its private-equity backing creates a capital structure that competes against both venture-funded fintechs and the legacy procurement modules of large ERP vendors, a hybrid positioning that shapes its product roadmap and partnership approach.

It targets mid-to-large enterprises that process high invoice volumes and require strong compliance controls.
Who owns Medius?
Medius is a portfolio company of Marlin Equity Partners, a global private equity firm that acquired a majority stake in 2017. Under Marlin's ownership, Medius has pursued a strategy of organic growth and bolt-on acquisitions to expand its product capabilities and geographic footprint.
Which geographies does Medius serve?
Medius serves customers across Europe and North America. Its core presence is in the Nordic region, the United Kingdom, and the Benelux countries, with continued expansion into the US market.
How does Medius differentiate from other AP automation tools?
Medius emphasizes compliance, fraud-detection controls, and deep ERP integrations designed for the regulatory environments of Northern Europe. Its platform extends beyond basic invoice automation into supplier onboarding and contract management, positioning it closer to a source-to-pay suite than a point solution.
Does Medius own any acquired companies?
Yes. Since Marlin Equity Partners' acquisition, Medius has made several bolt-on acquisitions to strengthen its product offering. These include Wax Digital, a UK-based source-to-pay provider, and OnPay, a cloud-based payments solution, which expanded its reach into accounts-payable payments and supplier network management.
