Persis

What Persis does

Persis operates as a brand within Atoria – the people software GmbH, a Heidenheim, Germany-based subsidiary of Proalpha Group that has delivered HR and workforce-management software since 1987. The company sells an integrated HR-Suite combining three sub-brands: Persis for HR software and personnel management (applicant management, digital personnel files, personnel development, personnel management, People Analytics), tisoware for time recording and project controlling (terminals, travel expense, access control, deployment planning, project and production management), and Quiply for employee communication and collaboration. The modular architecture is positioned to grow with customer requirements and is explicitly engineered around German labor-law compliance (ArbZG, BDSG, KRITIS Dachgesetz), tariff-collective agreements, and the German Mittelstand buyer profile.

Atoria serves more than 3,250 customers across manufacturing, financial services, nonprofit, healthcare, publishing, and technology verticals, with named references including AirPlus International, Venjakob Maschinenbau, Jacob GmbH, Ziehl-Abegg, Symbiopharm, Motor-Presse, and Fairtrade Deutschland. The customer base is split between the primary Mittelstand segment and a secondary Konzern (corporate) segment, with named enterprise-grade use cases in international HR management, complex shift modeling, and compliance-heavy environments. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with consultation booking through the website, supplemented by the my.Atoria self-service portal, an Academy training program, and hardware service (including dormakaba terminal integration).

The revenue model is overwhelmingly subscription-recurring across the three product lines, complemented by implementation consulting and a hardware service revenue stream. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, with sales conducted via contact-based consultation. Atoria markets through content (whitepapers, checklists, practice guides), industry events (Zukunft Personal Europe in Köln), webinars, email, and LinkedIn. Operating geography is concentrated in the DACH region, primarily Germany, with limited evidence of international expansion beyond select customer deployments.
