PROMOS consult

What PROMOS consult does

PROMOS consult is a Berlin-based, privately held German SAP system integrator and software company (GmbH & Co. KG, founded 1998) that exclusively serves the German real estate industry. The company positions itself as a full-range supplier delivering consulting, solution development, system implementation, training, managed data-centre services, and proprietary software built on SAP technologies (SAP RE-FX, S/4HANA, Fiori). Its core platform is PROMOS.GT, an open and universal SAP-based solution library for real estate processes, complemented by PROMOS.GT ready2, a preconfigured out-of-the-box SAP ERP template for the housing sector, and the proprietary easysquare digital sub-brand covering mobile and tenant-facing applications (Mieter-App, Professional App, Handwerkerportal, Vermietung, Eigentümer-App, Interessenten-App, Reporting App, chatbots such as PROMi).

The technical architecture combines deep SAP integration with a mobile-first user layer and an own certified data centre for German-regulated data processing. In 2024–2025 PROMOS layered multiple AI capabilities onto this stack: AI-powered inbound mail processing (live at ProPotsdam since January 2025), AI-powered phone integration, computer-vision meter-reading capture, easysquare Copilot code generation, and the PROMi reasoning-aware tenant chatbot, alongside regulatory modules for CO2 cost splitting, EED consumption display, ESG reporting, sanctions-list screening, HOAI calculation, DATEV and GAEB interfaces. Compliance posture is anchored by SAP Partner Center of Expertise (PCoE) certification (2018 initial, 2024 recertification), IDW PS 951 Type 2 Internal Control System certification (February 2025), and membership in Allianz für Cyber-Sicherheit.

The business model mixes professional services (consulting, training), software licensing and implementation (PROMOS.GT modules, easysquare, custom development), and recurring managed services from the PROMOS data centre, sold primarily via direct enterprise field sales to German housing companies, commercial property managers, public housing entities, and a few banking/financial real-estate players — with reference logos including Vonovia, ProPotsdam, TAG Immobilien, Peach Property, Volkswagen Immobilien, HOWOGE, Gewobag, DOGEWO21, BASF Wohnen + Bauen, Aareal Bank, and Covivio. The company is founder-controlled (CEO Jens Kramer, CFO Lukas Kramer, CIO/Managing Director Volker Schulz, Managing Director Katharina Knorr), reports ~500 employees across Germany, and operates the annual OpenPromos Anwenderforum (OPAF) and the IT&I industry magazine as community and thought-leadership channels. No external funding rounds, acquisitions, or parent company are disclosed.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• NTT Data: Global IT services provider with a significant SAP practice in Germany. Overlaps with PROMOS in SAP implementation, managed services, and real estate/financial services industry consulting.
• SAP SE: Platform vendor whose SAP RE-FX, S/4HANA, and Fiori products are the foundation PROMOS builds on. SAP is both a partner and a latent competitor as it expands native real estate functionality and AI (Joule) that can substitute partner extensions.
• Capgemini: Global IT services and SAP consulting giant with deep enterprise transformation capabilities. Competes with PROMOS for large SAP S/4HANA programs at major German housing companies and banks.
• T-Systems: Deutsche Telekom's enterprise IT arm operating data centres and SAP managed services in Germany. Comparable to PROMOS in SAP hosting, data centre, and certified SAP support offerings, especially for regulated customers.

Direct peers

• Aareon: Largest German vendor of real estate software (SaaS like 'Wodis Sigma', 'Blue Eagle') serving housing companies and property managers. Directly competes with PROMOS in the German housing-IT market with a broader and more standardized portfolio.
• Haufe Group: German software and content provider with real estate ERP and document management offerings. Overlaps with PROMOS in ERP-anchored real estate solutions and tenant-document workflows for the German market.
• msg: German IT consulting and software group with strong SAP practice and insurance/real estate industry coverage. Competes with PROMOS for SAP S/4HANA and industry-specific implementation projects in Germany.
• Allgeier: German IT services and software group operating multiple SAP and enterprise software units. Overlaps with PROMOS in SAP consulting, custom development, and enterprise application services.

Regional players

• Wincasa: Switzerland's largest real estate management and IT services company. Operates in the same real estate software/services space as PROMOS but primarily in the Swiss market, providing a regional analog of PROMOS's DACH offering.

Emerging players

• CAS AG: German SAP consultancy with real estate and utilities industry focus (CAS Real Estate). A smaller but direct SAP-based competitor to PROMOS for niche real estate ERP projects in the DACH mid-market.
