What Frey does

FREY ADV GmbH (operating as FREY) is a German healthcare IT company founded in 1989, headquartered operationally in Königs Wusterhausen near Berlin with a registered office in Düsseldorf. The company develops, distributes, and supports QUINCY, a Windows-based practice management software (Praxisverwaltungssystem) for physician and dental practices across Germany, covering documentation, billing (KV-Abrechnung, Privatabrechnung, Hybrid-DRG, DMP), document archiving (Qscan pro), appointment scheduling (iQcal), and connectivity to Germany's Telematikinfrastruktur (TI). QUINCY is KBV-certified and gematik-approved for the full TI application stack (VSDM, KIM, eAU, eArztbrief, eRezept, ePA), and is sold alongside bundled DGN TI-Konnektor hardware, eHealth card terminals, VPN access, and recurring monthly service packages. FREY also resells IT security solutions (Sophos XGS Firewall, ESET, Synology NAS) and operates the FREY Akademie training division founded in 2010.

FREY operates a multi-brand group structure under FREY ADV GmbH, including wholly-owned subsidiaries DGN (Deutsches Gesundheitsnetz) for TI infrastructure and gateway services, doctorly GmbH (a cloud-native PVS acquired in June 2025 after the target filed for insolvency in March 2025), S3 Praxiscomputer, and InterData Praxiscomputer. The company follows a sales-led go-to-market with regional account managers, a service hotline, online TI ordering at frey.de/ti, in-software ordering via the DGN Konnektortool, and a nationwide network of branch offices and regional partners. Revenue mechanics span software licenses and update subscriptions, one-time hardware sales (Konnektor, card terminals), monthly recurring TI service packages (€74.60/month, 24-month minimum), per-session training fees (€30–€190), and IT security resale, with pricing models shifting toward recurring revenue via the €226.89/month ePA/eRezept module subscription.

Direct peers

• CompuGroup Medical SE & Co. KGaA: The largest German/European healthcare software vendor, offering physician and dental PVS (including CGM MEDISTAR, CGM Z1, DATA VITAL) with full gematik/KBV certification. Most directly comparable to FREY in market segment, regulatory scope, and multi-brand PVS portfolio.
• medatixx GmbH & Co. KG: One of the leading German PVS vendors serving physician practices (medatixx, medisoft, x.comfort, x.isynet). Direct competitor to QUINCY with comparable KBV-certified, gematik-approved offerings and a similar sales-led GTM to SMB practices.
• DAMPSOFT GmbH: Specialist PVS vendor focused on dental practices in Germany, providing DAMPSOFT PVS and DS-Win. Directly comparable to FREY's Zahnarztpraxen line on regulatory certification, dental-specific billing, and TI connectivity.
• samedi GmbH: Cloud-based practice management and online appointment scheduling platform integrated with KBV-certified workflows. Closely comparable to doctorly (acquired by FREY) and increasingly competitive with QUINCY on cloud-first procurement.
• HASOMED GmbH: German PVS provider (Elefant, PsyPVS) focused on physician practices with full KBV and gematik certification. Directly competes with QUINCY in specialty and general physician segments.
• Indamed GmbH: Medical practice software vendor serving German physician practices with KBV-certified PVS solutions. Comparable mid-sized German PVS competitor with similar sales-led distribution and TI integration.

Others

• Arzt & Wirtschaft GmbH (AW): German physician-focused software and consulting services provider with adjacent offerings in practice management, billing, and compliance. Thematically related to FREY's PVS and Akademie services but not a direct PVS competitor.
