Konzept Informationssysteme

What Konzept Informationssysteme does

Konzept Informationssysteme GmbH is a privately held German software and systems engineering firm founded in 1994 and headquartered in Meersburg, Germany, with roughly 200 employees distributed across nine German offices (Meersburg, Friedrichshafen, Kiel, Munich, Nuremberg, Ulm, Ilmenau, plus historically Bremen and Schrobenhausen) and two Swiss offices (Rotkreuz and Rebstein) operated through its wholly owned subsidiary Konzept Informationssysteme AG. The firm specializes in safety-critical embedded systems and functional-safety software for regulated industries, delivering engineering services and certification support against ISO 26262 (automotive), IEC 61508 (industrial), DO-178B/C and EN 9100 (aerospace), ISO 13485 and IEC 62304 (medical), EN 50126/50128/50129 (rail), MIL-STD 882E/498 (defense), and related standards. Its customer base spans automotive, avionics, defense, medical, railway, energy, maritime, mechanical engineering, and space verticals — explicitly positioning itself against general IT services and web agencies by anchoring value in standards-based safety lifecycles.

The company's revenue mechanics are built primarily on project-based engineering services and consulting (functional safety, embedded development, USB driver development and Microsoft WHQL certification, digitalization consulting, Industry 4.0 integration) complemented by a smaller product layer that includes the M!OS modular input/output automation system (M!OS-Base hardware + M!OS-CT software), the APS contract and project management software suite, the PERIGEE space project planning tool, the VIS-All® 3D visualization product, and the Programmable Digital Current Regulator. Pricing for engineering and software products is quote-based with no public list; training is sold as open seminars (max 12 participants) or bespoke company programs. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales across the German and Swiss offices, supported by LinkedIn/Xing/YouTube presence, annual participation at embedded world, active memberships in 9+ regional and vertical industry networks, and recurring academic partnerships with TH Nürnberg, University Ulm, Konstanz, and JMU Würzburg to feed a safety-engineering talent pipeline.

Strategically the company has been in a controlled scale-up phase since 2016: founders transitioned to an Advisory Board, a Training Center was established, a second Swiss branch was opened in 2022, and the corporate group was expanded through two completed acquisitions — Software-Service John GmbH (Jan 1, 2023) for 3D visualization / CAD / GIS capability, and the THESYCON Software Solutions industrial/medical software business unit plus ToriLogic (Jul 1, 2024) for USB driver and embedded-systems depth. Leadership transitioned to co-CEOs Marco Moosmann and Frank Häßler on January 1, 2024, concluding a multi-year succession. No external funding, public listing, or private equity ownership has been disclosed; the firm remains founder-influenced and management-led, with ISO 9001:2015, EN 9100:2018, and ISO 13485 certifications underpinning its go-to-market in regulated verticals.
