What BS Software Development does

BS Software Development GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held German medical software company headquartered in Ulm and operating as part of the BucherGruppe conglomerate. Founded in 2006 by Dr. Milorad Susa, the company develops a portfolio of healthcare software products centered on the QuickCON laboratory information system and the QuickLIS cytology-focused laboratory information system, along with modular add-ons (QuickNEO for neonatology, QuickDEVICE for medical devices, QC-DEMIS-Adapter for infectious disease reporting, and M1 modules). Its core technical focus is on networking disparate healthcare systems, including physician information systems, laboratories, and the German Telematikinfrastruktur via KIM-certified communication channels and DiMus-compliant digital sample transmission.

The company's primary customers are medical laboratories, physician practices, and clinics in the German healthcare market, with a particular specialization in cytology (notably gynecological cytology including Pattern 39 / oKFE workflows). BS Software Development generates revenue through a mix of subscription or perpetual software licensing, recurring maintenance and support contracts delivered through a self-service portal (deinservicedesk.de), individualized custom development engagements with multi-year terms, IT services including remote maintenance, and ancillary design and marketing services via its QuickDESIGN line. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and ISO/IEC 27001 certifications, is listed with the German Sustainability Code (DNK) since 2022, and reaches customers primarily through direct field sales, inside sales, and active exhibitor presence at industry conferences such as BDL-Tagung and VDCA Jahrestagung.

Recent strategic activity (2024-2026) has centered on regulatory compliance and product surface expansion, including the launch of QuickLIS Cytology Flat Rates (May 2024), the DiMus 39 test phase (April 2025), QuickLIS Order Entry for cytology (October 2025), a new QuickCON B2C module (October 2025), the QuickCON HZV module (May 2026), and an infrastructure migration from TeamViewer to NetBird VPN. The company employs 51-100 people, has no external institutional investors, and is managed by Jürgen Bucher and Jens Böttinger.
