What Reinstil Agentur für digitale Ideen does

reinstil GmbH & Co. KG is a Mainz-based B2B digital agency founded in 2009, operating as a privately held German limited partnership under managing director Arne Reis. The company delivers custom software development across web, mobile (iOS/Android/Flutter), IoT (MQTT, CoAP protocols), and digital transformation projects for industry, public sector, and SME clients in the DACH region, with global project capabilities via its outsourcing service line. Its service portfolio spans consulting-led transformation engagements, agile development teams for hire, and DocuWare document-management implementation.

The company maintains two proprietary SaaS products: firstaudit, a digital checklist and audit inspection app for paperless inspections, quality management, and compliance with configurable checklists, interval-based scheduling, digital signatures, offline capability, and ERP/SAP integration; and flowdit, a higher-end platform for audits, inspections, and compliance with seamless integrations and scalable architecture. Both products are distributed via Apple App Store, Google Play, and a channel partner network (7i Project, MCR Unternehmensberatung, Schaller Gesellschaft für Digitalisierung), with a B2B2B service-partnership model targeting traditional agencies.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services (time-and-materials or fixed-price), SaaS subscription licensing of firstaudit and flowdit, ongoing maintenance and support, and dedicated team outsourcing. The company holds ISO 9001 certification and GDPR compliance, and counts Bayer Pharmaceuticals, ADAC, NTT/e-shelter, Daimler, Reed Exhibitions, the Architekten- und Stadtplanerkammer Hessen, and the University of Heidelberg among its named references. No external funding, parent company, or M&A activity is disclosed.
