What Kolibri software does

Kolibri software & systems GmbH is a privately held German software house founded in 1990 and headquartered in Gilching near Munich. The company develops and implements KoLiBRI (Kommunales Liegenschaften, Boden- und Raumbezogenes Informationssystem), a modular property and land information system used primarily by the building and property offices of German cities, municipalities, county administrations (Landratsämter), state administrations, church institutions, and a smaller base of private companies. KoLiBRI is built on Microsoft SQL Server and Windows, integrates with Microsoft Office, GIS systems, financial software, and CAFM, and supports ALKIS/ALB cadastral data import. The product architecture spans 30+ interconnected modules, anchored on a parcel-management base module and extended into building permits, contribution/fee billing, street inventory, urban land-use planning, property management, and building/facility management, with add-ons including a mobile Kolibri WebApp, a Kolibri Cockpit dashboard, and an integrated GIS module (Kolibri InfoMap).

The company sells exclusively through direct enterprise sales, supplemented by an online demo system and recurring training workshops; revenue is generated from software licensing and subscriptions, professional services (implementation, consulting, training), and managed support services including a telephone hotline and remote support via TeamViewer and GoToMeeting. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set per customer based on module selection. Distribution is single-country (Germany), with no disclosed reseller or channel partner model. Kolibri is bootstrapped, owned by its managing directors (Thomas Dietrich as managing partner and primary shareholder, Daniel Wiggenhauser as second Managing Director since May 2023), has 1–10 employees, and has earned three eGovernment Gold awards (2016, 2018, 2019) and the 'Arbeitgeber der Zukunft' seal (2023). The firm relocated to a new purpose-built headquarters in Gilching in February 2022, signaling capacity expansion in a stable, niche-mature business.
