What Amicron Software does

Amicron Software, founded in 1991 by Andreas Kleine in Paderborn, Germany, develops and distributes Windows-based business management software for small and medium-sized enterprises (KMU) in the German-speaking market (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). The company's product portfolio centers on two integrated offerings: Amicron Faktura, a business management and invoicing solution covering order processing, inventory management, e-invoicing (ZUGFeRD 2.3, XRechnung 3.1), integrated accounting with DATEV/Elster export, multi-shop e-commerce synchronization (Gambio, Shopware, Magento, OXID, xtCommerce, eBay), and shipping carrier integrations (DHL, DPD, Hermes, UPS, GLS); and Amicron Mailoffice, an email and contact management solution with CalDAV calendar sync and serial email functionality. The underlying technology stack is a Windows desktop application backed by a Firebird SQL database, with add-on modules for document management, form layout design, and CTI/telephony integration.

The company operates as a privately held, founder-owned micro-business with 1-10 employees and no external funding. Its revenue model is based on one-time perpetual software licenses (Standard and Professional tiers) distributed directly through its website (amicron.de) with a free trial option, supplemented by a dealer partner network (Händlerbereich) for regional resellers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company maintains continuous regulatory compliance through frequent feature releases (five updates between December 2024 and January 2026) addressing evolving German tax and banking standards, positioning itself as a localized, compliance-grade alternative to cloud SMB accounting solutions. Amicron competes primarily on deep German-market regulatory integration rather than on AI capabilities or modern cloud architecture.

Core offering

Amicron Software develops and distributes Amicron Faktura, an integrated Windows-based ERP and invoicing application for SMBs covering order processing, inventory/warehouse management, customer management, e-commerce integration, shipping, e-invoicing (ZUGFeRD 2.3 and XRechnung 3.1), and integrated accounting with DATEV/Elster export, alongside Amicron Mailoffice, an email and contact management solution that integrates with Faktura for unified customer workflows.

Product overview

Amicron Software develops and distributes two core products — Amicron Faktura (enterprise invoicing and business management software) and Amicron Mailoffice (email and contact management software) — both running under MS Windows for small to medium enterprises in German-speaking regions. Amicron Faktura serves as the primary ERP solution covering order processing (Angebot, Auftragsbestätigung, Lieferschein, Rechnung, Gutschrift), inventory management (Lagerverwaltung, Inventur, Seriennummernverwaltung), multi-shop e-commerce synchronization, shipping integration (DHL, DPD, Hermes, UPS, GLS), integrated accounting (Euro-Fibu with DATEV export), and mandatory B2B e-invoicing via ZUGFeRD 2.3 and XRechnung 3.1. Amicron Mailoffice complements the offering with email management, automatic customer address matching from incoming emails, calendar/CalDAV sync, serial email campaigns, and CRM-like customer handover features. The two products are designed to integrate with each other, enabling a unified workflow from customer contact through to invoicing and shipping.
