What TM IT does

TM IT-Systemhaus UG (haftungsbeschränkt) is a small, privately held German IT system house founded in 2014 and headquartered in Bremerhaven, registered at Amtsgericht Bremen under HRB 29303 HB. The firm operates a 'Rundum-sorglos-Paket' (all-round carefree package) covering requirement analysis, IT infrastructure planning, hardware and software procurement, implementation, and ongoing support (telephone, remote, and on-site). Its service portfolio spans ten offerings: backup, server solutions, virtualization (VMware, HyperV, Citrix), maintenance, consulting, client solutions, cloud solutions, project accompaniment, telephony/VoIP, and special services. Three staff are publicly identified — Torsten Appelhagen (Senior IT Consultant), Martin von Kameke (IT-Consultant and legal representative), and Helge Naumann (Hardware-Engineer) — indicating a small, founder-led team.

The technology stack is built on mainstream enterprise IT vendors (Microsoft, VMware, Dell, HP, Fujitsu, Wortmann/TERRA, Acronis, DATEV, Brother, Panda Security), with cloud and backup services hosted in secured German data centers to meet domestic data protection requirements for tax, legal, and audit clients. The only proprietary product is the Rehkitz-Retter, an in-house developed optical-acoustic wildlife deterrent device that uses thermal-noise-driven random signal generation to deter roe deer from hiding fawns in mowing zones; coverage of approximately 10–20 hectares is claimed for three devices, with a 90–100% success rate in the company's own trials. A linked sub-brand, BeastTX, extends into drone-based precision farming and aerial photography via an externally hosted site.

TM IT generates revenue through professional services (project-based consulting, procurement, and implementation), recurring managed services (monthly cloud flat-rate fees and individual maintenance contracts), hardware resale (servers, clients, and accessories from Fujitsu, HP, Wortmann, Dell, IBM), and direct e-commerce sales of the Rehkitz-Retter (currently in pre-order due to electronic component supply constraints, with Granit-Parts serving as a parallel retail channel). Distribution is direct and consultative via phone, contact form, and on-site/remote engagement, with no evidence of paid marketing. The company is single-jurisdictional (Germany-domiciled, with French EPR registration for cross-border hardware compliance), holds no external funding, and operates with limited public financial disclosure.

Its service portfolio spans backup, server, virtualization, cloud/virtual desktop, maintenance, consulting, client, project, and telephony (TK) services for SMBs and professional services firms. It also sells one proprietary hardware product, the Rehkitz-Retter, an optical-acoustic wildlife deterrent device.

Product overview

TM IT-Systemhaus (TM IT) is a German IT services provider (IT-Dienstleister) headquartered in Bremerhaven (TM IT-Systemhaus UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Isarstr. 31, 27574 Bremerhaven), offering a complete "Rundum-sorglos-Paket" that spans requirements analysis, IT infrastructure planning, hardware/software procurement and implementation, and ongoing support (telephone, remote maintenance, or on-site). The service portfolio comprises ten named offerings: Backup-Service, Server-Lösungen, Virtualisierung, Wartungs-Service, Beratung und Konzeption, Client-Lösungen, Cloud-Lösungen, Projektbegleitung, TK-Lösungen (telephony), and Spezielle Dienstleistungen. In parallel, TM IT distributes two proprietary/linked products under its "Produkte" section — the Rehkitz-Retter hardware device for fawn protection during mowing and the externally hosted BeastTX offering. The Rehkitz-Retter is the company's flagship standalone product and represents TM IT's only in-house engineered hardware line; everything else is delivered as managed IT services. The service stack is built on partnerships with major vendors (Microsoft, VMware/Fujitsu/HyperV, Dell, HP, Wortmann/TERRA, Acronis, DATEV, Brother, Panda Security) but TM IT itself does not ship a SaaS platform, API, or AI-powered product layer.

Broad incumbents

• Bechtle AG: Bechtle is Germany's largest publicly listed IT system house, offering a near-identical portfolio of server, virtualization, cloud, backup and managed services to SMB and enterprise customers across Germany. It is the dominant incumbent against whom small Bremerhaven system houses like TM IT compete, though at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.
• Computacenter plc: Computacenter is a large European IT infrastructure provider offering managed services, server, virtualization, cloud and workplace support — an overlapping capability set with TM IT but at enterprise scale and with international reach.
• CANCOM SE: CANCOM is a major German/European managed-services and hybrid-cloud provider with deep SMB and mid-market coverage. It competes with TM IT for the same managed-services wallet in Germany but offers a far broader portfolio (public cloud, managed security, workplace).

Direct peers

• SVA System Vertrieb Alexander GmbH: SVA is a German IT system house delivering server, virtualization, storage, cloud and managed services through a partner-led model (Cisco, Dell, VMware, etc.). It mirrors TM IT's full-lifecycle 'one-stop IT' motion and partner-ecosystem GTM, but operates at materially greater scale.
• Allgeier Group: Allgeier is a German IT services group spanning system house operations, managed services and software — closely comparable to TM IT's SMB system-house motion in Germany and Austria, with similar partner-ecosystem delivery.
• Ratiodata GmbH: Ratiodata is a Münster-based German IT system house focused on SMB/mid-market infrastructure, managed services and DATEV-integrated solutions for tax advisors. It is one of the closest direct comparables to TM IT given its DATEV-heavy vertical and full-lifecycle IT motion.
• Bitbone AG: Bitbone is a German managed-services and Linux/open-source infrastructure provider serving SMB and mid-market customers with virtualization, backup and cloud — closely comparable in technology stack and customer size to TM IT's offerings.
• NetPlans GmbH: NetPlans is a German IT system house delivering server, virtualization, cloud, backup and managed workplace services through a partner-ecosystem GTM (Microsoft, VMware, Sophos, etc.) — a tight analogue to TM IT's full-lifecycle system-house model in Southern Germany.
• Sycor Group: Sycor is a German IT services firm offering managed services, cloud, server and virtualization for SMB and mid-market customers, with a strong Microsoft/partner-ecosystem delivery model. Comparable to TM IT in target customer and service mix.
• Avision GmbH: Avision is a Southern-German managed-services and IT outsourcing provider focused on SMBs, with cloud, backup, virtualization and DATEV-adjacent offerings — closely aligned with TM IT's vertical mix of SMB system-house plus tax-advisor-adjacent services.
