IRTECH

What IRTECH does

IRTECH GmbH is a privately held Swiss digital transformation services firm founded in 2013 and headquartered in Neuhausen am Rheinfall (Schaffhausen region). The company provides custom software development across three core service lines: mobile app development (native iOS/Android and hybrid via Ionic, PhoneGap, Sencha Touch, HTML5), web application development (PHP MVC frameworks, WordPress, REST APIs, microservices on Docker/PHP/Go/NodeJS/Java), and Business Process Management consulting using BPMN standards with tools such as Jira Core, KiSSFLOW, and Zoho Flow. A fourth pillar — location-based services — is delivered through the proprietary IRTECH GPS Flow Engine, a GPS/GNSS tracking platform with battery-saving background tracking, crash-resistant position recording, and workflow-based processes, proven at over 100,000 participants across virtual race deployments including Wings for Life World Run (Red Bull), Cape Town Marathon, and Zürich Marathon.

IRTECH's business model is project-based professional services: revenue is generated through custom mobile and web development engagements and BPM consulting, priced per project scope (with hybrid development cited as ~50% cheaper than native dual-platform builds). The go-to-market is primarily sales-led, anchored by a free 45-minute consultation booking funnel, and is supplemented by a product-led growth surface (app-preisrechner.ch, a self-service app cost calculator) and content marketing via a German-language blog targeting Swiss SMEs. Customer apps are distributed through the iOS App Store and Google Play Store, and a customer portal (partners.irte.ch) supports project delivery. The customer mix spans Swiss SMBs (Fotoschule Baur, Garage Harlacher, Schöffel & Partner), Swiss institutions (Universität Zürich, Schaffhauser az), and multinational enterprises (Red Bull, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, AMGEN), with a recurring anchor presence in the international sports-event vertical. The company operates with a 1–10 person team led by Ilir Nuhiu, holds no disclosed outside funding, and reports no acquisitions, subsidiaries, or parent-company relationships.
