What syslab.com does

syslab.com Internetstrategien und Internetservices GmbH is a Munich-based, founder-owned software firm founded in 1998 that builds open-source enterprise content management, collaboration, and risk assessment solutions on the Plone, Python, and Zope stack. The company operates three core product lines: OiRA Cloud Pro, an online interactive risk assessment platform for occupational safety and health developed under a long-standing Premium Software Partner agreement with the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) since 2006 and now serving 174,800+ registered users with nearly 330 sectoral tools across multiple EU languages; Quaive Cloud Pro, a social collaboration and knowledge management platform for modern enterprise workspaces; and Enterprise Scripting, a custom integration and reporting service for operational management.

The firm serves a mix of European industrial enterprises (Mercedes-Benz, Daimler Truck, Denso, ZEISS, Star Alliance, TNO), Munich-area universities (TUM, LMU, UniBw), and EU/national public authorities engaged through the OiRA program, with operating geographies spanning Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. Its go-to-motion combines consultative direct enterprise sales, including objective advisory, concept development, roll-out, release and deployment management, and user help desk, with a four-partner channel network (Agidium, cosent NL, Flying Circus, gocept) for delivery across Europe. Revenue is generated from a mix of professional services (custom development and consulting) and recurring subscription elements tied to the OiRA and Quaive cloud platforms, with GDPR-compliant hosting outsourced to Flying Circus. The company remains privately held by managing shareholder Alexander Pilz, is bootstrapped with no external funding, and operates with 11-50 employees.
