NewCOMer

What NewCOMer does

newCOMer GmbH is a privately held German software and web development company headquartered in Viechtach, Bavaria, founded in 1998. It builds and maintains a portfolio of proprietary software products — ProvenSys ERP (with staffing/HR modules), newCOMer CMS, an Online Shopping System, a Ticket System, a digital image database (Bilddatenbank), Intelligent Search Systems (phonetic, duplicate, synonym, cross-field, and radius search), a suite of financial/tax calculators (including the long-running "Lohnabrechnung am PC" wage tax product distributed by Verlag C.H. Beck since 1999 and an Excel Add-in since 2017), a Homeoffice-Support managed service, and individual custom development for web portals, apps, calculators, and Windows software. All CMS modules are in-house developments with guaranteed compatibility, presented as a deliberate alternative to composable open-source stacks.

The company operates a B2B sales-led GTM motion targeting German-speaking SMBs and mid-market customers, with occasional international delivery (Harvard Libraries and National Custom Hollow Metal in the USA). Revenue is generated through a mix of subscription/licensing of proprietary products, project-based custom development fees, and professional services — pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with annual billing cadences on subscription lines. Channels are primarily direct (phone, email, contact form) plus the C.H. Beck publishing-house distribution channel for tax software. Reference customers span publishing (C.H. Beck), insurance (HUK-Coburg), staffing (Allgeier, wu personal), cooperatives (DATEV), libraries (Harvard), healthcare (Johannesbad, orthopedics practice), government (Stadt Viechtach), manufacturing (NCHM fire doors), logistics (PALLTRAX), community/social platforms (Sudetendeutsche Landsmannschaft), and entertainment venues (Theaterbox, 7P-Ranch, Freibad Viechtach).

Operationally, newCOMer runs as an owner-operator outfit of 1–10 employees with no external funding, no acquisitions, no subsidiaries, and no documented leadership changes. Product extensions over time (Homeoffice-Support around 2020, Excel Add-in in 2017) suggest modest product-line breadth rather than material scaling. The firm positions itself around long-standing domain expertise, custom-fit delivery, and compatibility guarantees within its proprietary stack, serving customers who want bespoke solutions outside mainstream SaaS.

Broad incumbents

• Sage: Sage's SMB ERP/accounting/HR portfolio (Sage Business Cloud, Sage HR, Sage 100) covers the same functional space as ProvenSys (ERP, financials, HR/time-tracking) but at significantly larger scale and broader geographic reach, making it a broad incumbent alternative for newCOMer's target customers.

Direct peers

• Lexoffice: Lexoffice (Haufe Group's cloud sibling to Lexware) offers German SMB accounting, invoicing, and payroll tax compliance—directly comparable to the regulatory-driven, German-market focus of newCOMer's wage-tax and ERP products.
• Collmex: Collmex is a Germany-focused SMB ERP/accounting/invoicing/CRM/e-commerce software vendor; comparable in size, German target market, and product breadth to newCOMer.
• Microtech: Microtech develops German SMB ERP, POS, and merchant software solutions—comparable in product scope and German mid-market focus to newCOMer's combination of ERP, e-commerce, and custom development.
• Lexware (Haufe Group): Lexware is Germany's leading SMB financial/accounting/payroll software suite, with deep localization for German tax law—directly comparable to newCOMer's wage-tax calculator (Lohnabrechnung am PC) distributed via C.H. Beck and the financial/HR focus of ProvenSys ERP.
• Odoo: Odoo's open-source ERP suite (including HR, accounting, e-commerce, CMS, and event/ticketing) targets the same SMB multi-product software market as newCOMer, where modules from multiple developers risk compatibility conflicts—newCOMer's guarantee of in-house module compatibility positions it as an alternative for buyers avoiding that integration risk.
• sevDesk: sevDesk is a German SMB accounting/ERP SaaS targeting small business invoicing, bookkeeping, and payroll—operating in the same SMB ERP segment as ProvenSys with a German regulatory focus, though with a modern SaaS distribution model.
• Agenda Software: Agenda offers German SMB ERP, accounting, and HR software including staffing modules—closely mirroring newCOMer's ProvenSys ERP with its HR/time-tracking and temporary-staffing vertical specialization.
• Buhl Data Service (WISO Steuer): Buhl develops WISO tax, payroll, and SMB finance software for the German market, including wage-tax tools—overlapping directly with newCOMer's 'Finanzmathematische Rechner' and ProvenSys payroll-adjacent modules, with comparable German SMB customer focus.

Emerging players

• TYPO3 Association / TYPO3: TYPO3 is a major German-origin open-source CMS/content management platform; comparable to newCOMer CMS in target market and modular architecture, but the open-source model is exactly what newCOMer positions its proprietary, in-house-developed CMS against on compatibility.
