The story

Blue Zinc IT is a Belfast-based healthtech software company serving the UK physiotherapy, MSK rehabilitation, and mental health clinic markets with products TM3, Caseflow, Pronto, and Click. Acquired by ClearCourse in 2022, it now leverages the group's in-house payment capability (ClearAccept/BluezincPay) to embed card acceptance into its clinic management software — shifting from pure SaaS to a software-plus-payments vertical model.
