ORISA Software

What ORISA Software does

ORISA Software GmbH is a privately held German enterprise software company founded in 1991 and headquartered in Jena, Thuringia. It develops and sells the CREALIS CPQ (Configure Price Quote) platform, which covers product configuration, rule-based validation, automated pricing, quotation document generation, CRM-style offer management, product data management, and 2D/3D visualization. The platform supports Configure-to-Order and Engineer-to-Order approaches, is offered both on-premise and as a SaaS cloud edition hosted on German servers, and integrates natively with SAP systems via IPC and VCP protocols (including a 2024 SAP S/4HANA coupling). The company markets AI-assisted guided selling layered over its configurator and maintains certifications including ISO 9001 (since 2003), ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and the BITMi 'Software Made in Germany' and 'Software Hosted in Germany' seals.

Revenue is generated through on-premise software licenses, SaaS subscriptions for CREALIS Cloud Edition, and professional services covering implementation, consulting, modeling, training, and ongoing support, including specialized SAP variant configuration services. ORISA targets enterprise manufacturers of complex, variant-rich products in verticals such as medical technology, mechanical engineering, automotive and luxury goods, logistics and agriculture, HVAC, fastening technology, and industrial automation. Named customers include Porsche, Porsche Design Timepieces, Zeiss, Siemens, Viessmann, Toyota, Still, Everllence SE (formerly MAN Energy Solutions, a 10-year relationship expanded in 2025), RECA NORM, Plastipol-Scheu, and Haas Schleifmaschinen. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise field sales with named account managers, supplemented by implementation partners and dealer-network deployments (e.g., RECA NORM with 74,000 downstream customers).

The company employs 11-50 people and is led by Managing Director Matthias Schwuchow, with co-founder Georg Elsner referenced as owner/CEO. In April 2026, ORISA executed its first acquisition — calcIT Solutions GmbH from the abilis group — and signed strategic partnerships with SMA Development GmbH and rooom AG, signaling an inorganically augmented expansion phase for an otherwise steady Mittelstand software firm.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• PROS Holdings: Public CPQ and pricing optimization vendor targeting B2B manufacturers and distributors. Comparable because it sells CPQ into industrial manufacturers (including machinery and complex-product OEMs) with deep SAP integrations, overlapping directly with ORISA's enterprise CPQ proposition.
• Cincom Systems: Configure-price-quote and product configurator vendor with a long history serving industrial manufacturers. Comparable to ORISA as a mature CPQ specialist targeting manufacturers of complex, configurable products with rule-based configuration engines.
• Vendavo: B2B pricing and CPQ vendor focused on industrial manufacturers and distributors. Comparable to ORISA in target market (complex variant manufacturers) and overlap in pricing-driven configuration, though Vendavo leans more on price optimization than full configurator UX.
• Tacton Systems: Swedish-headquartered CPQ specialist focused on manufacturers of complex, configurable products. Closest direct competitor to ORISA: similar vertical focus on machinery and industrial manufacturers, comparable SaaS deployment model, and overlapping target customer profile in European industrial mid-market.
• Configure One (1WorldSync): Long-standing CPQ/configurator vendor acquired by 1WorldSync. Directly comparable to ORISA as a pure-play product configurator and CPQ vendor serving complex manufacturers with rule-based configuration and quotation generation.

Emerging players

• KBMax: Visual CPQ/configurator vendor emphasizing 3D product configuration. Comparable to ORISA's CREALIS 3D capability; competes in the same complex-product CPQ niche with stronger 3D/marketing emphasis but a smaller installed base in European manufacturing.

Broad incumbents

• PTC (Creo / Windchill): PLM and CAD vendor whose Windchill/ThingWorx stack extends into product configuration and CPQ-like workflows. Comparable to ORISA at the front end of the manufacturing value chain (product structure, variant management) — an adjacent incumbent that increasingly overlaps with CPQ use cases.
• Conga (Apttus): Configure-price-quote and revenue lifecycle management vendor. Comparable as a broad CPQ incumbent competing for the same enterprise customers ORISA targets, with deeper Salesforce ecosystem integration but less specialization in complex manufacturing configuration.
• Salesforce CPQ (formerly SteelBrick/Revenue Cloud): CPQ capability sold as part of Salesforce's broader CRM/Revenue Cloud suite. Comparable as the dominant SaaS CPQ incumbent against which ORISA competes at the enterprise end; overlapping target customers but bundled into a much larger CRM platform.
• SAP CPQ (formerly CallidusCloud): SAP's native CPQ offering sold alongside S/4HANA and SAP CRM. Comparable to ORISA as the most direct competitor in SAP-driven manufacturing environments; ORISA's IPC/VCP integration competes head-on with SAP's own CPQ capabilities.
