What Compax Software Development does

Compax Software Development is a Vienna-based, privately held software company founded in 1994 that builds integrated customer-to-cash platforms for connected industries. Its core product, AAX, is a proprietary, multi-tenant platform designed to handle complex subscription and usage-based billing across telecommunications, road tolling, utilities, EV charging, and media. The telco vertical is the deepest, with specialized MVNE and Digital BSS modules that enable prepaid/postpaid services, VoLTE voice routing, SMS security, and multi-country operations from a single platform instance; the company advertises go-live timelines as short as 90 days.

The company serves a large enterprise customer base that includes Deutsche Telekom, Starhub, Airalo, O2 Telefonica, Spark, SK Telecom, Congstar, Vodafone, Orange, Etisalat, MTEL, T-Mobile USA, Bell Canada, Swisscom's Wingo, LGU+, NFON, Tele2, 1nce, T-Systems, and others, spanning telco operators, MVNOs, IoT connectivity providers, tolling operators (Satellic), EV charging (Riverty), utilities (EWE), and media/publishing (Handelsblatt, Galaxus, VGN, Rega). AAX is delivered as a customized, quote-based platform licensing engagement with dedicated engineering teams embedded per project, supported by multi-year contracts and recurring platform relationships.

Compax sells directly through an enterprise field sales motion, relying on case studies, press releases, LinkedIn, and TM Forum membership for demand generation rather than self-serve channels. It has pursued inorganic growth, acquiring Sonorys Technology (August 2023), i-new Unified Mobile Solutions GmbH (January 2024), and NTS Retail (October 2024) to broaden its platform capabilities. The leadership team includes founder Leopold Kojeder as CEO and Robin Laliberte as SVP Global Sales, with the company reporting 1,001-5,000 employees and operating globally from its Austrian headquarters.
