Aexis Medical

What Aexis Medical does

Aexis Medical is a Belgian-headquartered healthcare software company founded in 2004 as a spin-off from Aexis BI, specialising in modular software for hospital perioperative and decontamination workflows. Its core product is XLine, a modular, ERP-like platform that connects specialist modules — XLine Steri (CSSD management), XLine OR (operating theatre management), XLine Endo (endoscopy management), XLine Poly (consultation planning), and XLine Logistics (inventory and case-cart management) — through a unified database and real-time data exchange. The platform delivers 100% traceability of instruments, endoscopes, materials, and user activities, with native integration to automated pre-cleaning tables, sterilisers, washing machines, and endoscope disinfection machines. Workflow deviation detection and context-sensitive guidance are implemented as configurable rule-based automation rather than AI/ML.

The company serves hospitals and hospital groups across 10+ countries, with a stated penetration of approximately 75% of Belgian hospitals and a growing presence in UK NHS trusts, Germany, France, and the Netherlands. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated UK and German support teams, implementation delivered by an in-house team, and customer support via a dedicated portal. Revenue derives from software platform subscriptions (recurring) and implementation services (professional services), with pricing negotiated per deployment. The firm employs 51-100 staff across offices in Tienen (HQ), London, Manchester, and a development centre in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Aexis Medical is privately held with no disclosed external investors, holds ISO 9001 certification from Bureau Veritas, and references partnerships with BADS, AfPP, and IDSc.

Core offering

Aexis Medical develops and licenses XLine, a modular, integrated software platform for hospital perioperative and decontamination management. XLine connects specialist modules — XLine Steri (CSSD), XLine OR (theatres), XLine Endo (endoscopy), XLine Poly (consultation/clinical planning) and XLine Logistics (inventory/case carts) — through a unified database to deliver 100% traceability, real-time workload monitoring and cross-departmental workflow automation. The platform is sold on a subscription basis to hospitals, with implementation services delivered by an in-house expert team.

Product overview

Aexis Medical offers the XLine modular platform for hospital perioperative workflows. The platform consists of five interconnected modules: XLine Steri (central sterilisation department management), XLine OR (operating theatre management), XLine Endo (endoscopy management), XLine Poly (consultation and clinical department planning), and XLine Logistics (hospital inventory and supply chain management). The platform provides full traceability across surgical and endoscopy support teams, connecting planning with production to deliver real-time perioperative intelligence for hospitals.

Direct peers

• Brainlab: Brainlab provides digital surgery, OR integration and surgical planning software for hospitals — overlapping with XLine OR's digital surgery workflow and analytics capabilities.
• Censis Technologies: Censis Technologies (now under Steris) specialises in instrument tracking and CSSD/sterilisation workflow software for hospitals, directly comparable to XLine Steri and its 100% traceability value proposition.
• Picis (Optum): Picis, now part of Optum/UnitedHealth Group, offers perioperative and anaesthesia software for hospitals including OR management — a closely comparable clinical workflow platform targeting the same perioperative buyer.
• KARL STORZ OR1: KARL STORZ's OR1 integrated operating room solution bundles endoscopy hardware with workflow software for OR and endoscopy departments — directly overlapping with XLine OR and XLine Endo.
• Surgical Information Systems (SIS): SIS provides perioperative information management software for hospitals, including OR scheduling, anaesthesia documentation and surgical analytics — directly comparable to XLine OR and the broader XLine perioperative suite.
• Richard Wolf: Richard Wolf offers endoscopy equipment and integrated OR/endoscopy workflow software for hospitals, competing in the same endoscopy and perioperative IT category as XLine Endo.

Broad incumbents

• Getinge: Getinge (including the former Maquet) is a broad incumbent in sterile reprocessing, surgical workplaces and OR equipment with adjacent software offerings — competing in CSSD and OR but as part of a much wider medical-technology portfolio.
• Becton Dickinson (BD): BD offers medical device management, instrument tracking and broader OR solutions across its Medication Management and Medical Surgical segments — competing with Aexis on CSSD/instrument tracking as part of a global medical-products portfolio.
• Steris plc: Steris is a global incumbent in sterilisation, infection prevention and surgical workflow solutions (including Censis Technologies) — competing in CSSD traceability and OR services but as part of a much broader portfolio.

Emerging players

• Caresyntax: Caresyntax provides data-driven surgical workflow, analytics and OR integration software for hospitals and medtech — an emerging player in surgical intelligence and OR digitalisation that overlaps with XLine OR's analytics and workflow mandate.
