What freedos IT does

freedos IT GmbH is a privately held German software development and IT services firm headquartered in Freiburg with a second office in Karlsruhe, focused on B2B digital transformation. The company positions itself as a strategic business partner for mid-market and enterprise customers, delivering custom software, EDI/EAI/ERP integration, and managed IT services. Its primary vertical is the German textile industry, where it operates EDI connections, business process digitization and B2B portals for clients including Digel AG, Elbsand GmbH, Willy Bogner GmbH, Schmid GmbH and Milestone Sportswear, while selectively extending into adjacent sectors such as energy consulting (Büro Ö-quadrat) and public-sector digital transformation via an Innovation Lab with Clatum Consulting Group.

The company operates a platform-plus-modules product architecture built on .NET, C#, Blazor, Xamarin.Forms, MSSQL/MySQL and REST APIs. Proprietary products include Doc X (a document generator that automates EDI process documentation and produces BPMN diagrams), Form X (a low-code digital forms editor with backend ERP/email integration), and EDIgel/Digel Pro (a B2B BPM application distributed as a native Android/iOS app and web portal). Pro Planet Cloud provides ISO 27001 certified German private-cloud hosting, while supplementary modules such as Gambio Mahnwesen and Webseiten Insights round out the offering. Strategic technology and channel partnerships with Imperial Retail Software, Microsoft, Sophos (Silver Partner) and Telekom extend delivery capabilities.

freedos IT generates revenue through project-based professional services (custom software development, EDI/EAI/ERP consulting), one-time licenses (Doc X), subscriptions (Form X), and recurring managed services (Pro Planet Cloud and Modern Workplace offerings). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; standard terms permit annual fee increases of up to 10% on recurring services after an initial four-month period. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: a 1-10 person team engages customers directly via phone, email and contact forms, supported by LinkedIn/XING presence and detailed project case studies. The firm is founder-led by Managing Director Fridolin Seifried, has not raised external capital, and operates exclusively in the German market.
