Renuo

What Renuo does

Renuo AG is a privately-held Swiss software development agency founded in 2011 and headquartered in Wallisellen, near Zurich. The firm operates a horizontal go-to-market, serving Swiss mid-market and enterprise clients across banking, retail, real estate, government, media, tourism, aviation, and hospitality with custom web and mobile application development, AI integration, design sprint prototyping, and loyalty/onboarding solutions. The customer base includes Viseca Card Services, Raiffeisen Schweiz, Manor, JUMBO, Migrol, FPRE, RE/MAX, Tamedia, Edelweiss Air, Bio Suisse, McDonald's Switzerland, Kanton St. Gallen, and XING, supported by a 22-person engineering team and more than 100 completed projects over 15 years.

The technology stack is centered on Ruby on Rails and React, with additional capabilities in Python, Angular, Flutter, JavaScript, TypeScript, TensorFlow, Kubernetes, Docker, Dokku, Solidus, PHP, Java, and Smalltalk. Renuo's portfolio spans several proprietary and productized offerings: the Creditcard Cockpit (a banking application processing platform built for Viseca), REMMS 4 ALL (a real estate sustainability rating platform), the FPRE Property Evaluation widget (hedonic-model-based valuation used by 100+ agents in Switzerland and Germany), the Steady Loyalty System (card-based loyalty with digital wallet integration), KenSpace (NLP document classification and similarity retrieval), NarrativeAI (narrative generation), City Messenger, and gifcoins.io. AI capabilities cover NLP, computer vision, structured data clustering, and AI coding agents integrated with Redmine for project management, drawing on continuous in-house AI experience since 2016.

The business model is professional services, generating revenue through project-based custom software development engagements and technical consulting, priced individually after a conception and requirements-definition phase. Sales is led by direct outreach, referrals, and inbound website leads, with content marketing through a technical blog (til.renuo.ch), open-source contributions (3,919 logged), and ecosystem partnerships including DatoCMS and the Rails Foundation. Renuo holds Swiss Made Software, CyberSeal, Swiss ICT Standard, and Google Partner certifications, and operates as an independent company with no disclosed external funding. The firm made one acquisition — HotFeet GmbH in 2014 — to expand engineering capacity.
