BISS

What BISS does

BISS Gesellschaft für Büroinformationssysteme mbH is a privately-held German software company headquartered in Oldenburg with a secondary office in Hannover, operating since 1988 in the DACH enterprise software market. The company develops and sells three packaged software products built on its proprietary Java-based B-Wise 5 development platform: BISS/INDIGO, a Business Test and Analysis Application (BTAA) system that enables insurance companies to flexibly configure products and workflows; BISS/XALEO, a BiPRO adapter suite that allows insurers to exchange standardized document data with up to 45,000 sales partners; and BISS/CAIGO, a SaaS-based supply chain management platform for compliance with Germany's Supply Chain Sourcing Obligations Act (LkSG).

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-focused, with primary customers being German and Austrian insurance companies for INDIGO and XALEO, and a broader set of LkSG-regulated enterprises for CAIGO. BISS monetizes through a blend of recurring SaaS subscription licensing and professional services revenue covering consulting, implementation, and customization. The company is managed by four Geschäftsführer (Dr. Jan Mazac, Matthias Brauch, Markus Schnüpke, and Carsten Schreiber), with no external venture or private equity investment disclosed. In 2025 BISS established siaris GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary, to develop AI applications, signaling a new product direction.
