EHS Insight And Pamlico Capital: A Game-Changing Investment For The EHS Software Market

On December 9, 2025, cloud-based EHS software provider EHS Insight announced a significant recapitalization with Pamlico Capital as its new majority investor, while existing investor Level Equity reaffirmed its commitment. This partnership will help EHS Insight gain strong momentum in the EHS software market.

Established in 2009, Houston-headquartered EHS Insight consists of a team of approximately 70 professionals distributed across a remote-first organizational structure. Its platform delivers an integrated suite of solutions addressing the critical safety and compliance needs of high-risk, compliance-intensive industries. The provider has demonstrated sustained market traction, with more than 500 clients across industries including oil and gas, construction and manufacturing, geographically concentrated in the US alongside growing presence across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas.

Platform capabilities
EHS Insight’s platform encompasses more than 32 modules covering a wide range of EHS and ESG management needs, including incident reporting and investigation, training administration, and risk management. The 2025 Verdantix Green Quadrant for EHS software recognized EHS Insight as a Challenger for its technical capabilities, audit and inspection module, rapid deployment and steady financial growth.

Much like other vendors in the space, EHS Insight has integrated AI capabilities through EHS Insight Copilot. While the firm does not benefit from its own trained module, it offers bias checks, safe-use monitoring and human-in-the-loop safeguards aligned to unique risk profiles. This strategy enables customers to limit AI to assistive, user-driven tasks; a popular option for professionals in the EHS industry, where AI hallucinations can cause tragic consequences.

Why Pamlico Capital's investment is transformational
The partnership with Pamlico Capital (Pamlico) represents more than a capital infusion – it signals a strategic validation of EHS Insight's market position and growth trajectory. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Pamlico has over three decades of operating history and $5 billion in assets under management. The private equity firm has gained a reputation for supporting middle-market players in the software and tech-enabled services sectors.

Level Equity, EHS Insight's existing investor, made a significant re-investment in this round, signalling confidence in the firm’s direction. The combination of Pamlico's operational expertise and software scaling experience and Level Equity's deep lower-middle-market technology sector knowledge creates an optimal partnership framework for accelerating EHS Insight's growth while maintaining strategic flexibility.

This dual investment will help EHS Insight unlock:

• Accelerated product development.

  With Pamlico's backing, EHS Insight will significantly expand its engineering and product teams, enabling faster innovation cycles and more rapid module development. The platform's expansion to an even more comprehensive suite will help clients such as ACT Government, Mitre 10 and Sanitarium Solutions tackle their most pressing EHS challenges.
  

• Market expansion and sales infrastructure.

  Although EHS Insight primarily targets mid-market organizations, its robust infrastructure allows it to adapt easily to enterprise-level requirements. Pamlico's expertise in scaling software businesses will help EHS Insight penetrate new vertical markets beyond its traditional strongholds in oil and gas and construction, as well as expand its international footprint in EMEA and beyond.
  

• Team building and talent acquisition.
  Since 2024, EHS Insight has been experiencing headcount growth of approximately 17%. The partnership accelerates this momentum, allowing the firm to broaden its teams in engineering, product management, customer success and operations – which are all essential for competing effectively against larger players.
