What j&s-soft does

j&s-soft AG is a privately held German IT solutions provider headquartered in Heidelberg with a secondary office in Magdeburg and remote employees across Germany and Austria. Founded in 2003 around SAP/ABAP consulting, the company has expanded into four solution pillars: SAP consulting (HCM, SuccessFactors, S/4HANA, BTP, Fiori/UI5), a proprietary wallet product line built on the open-source enmeshed framework (HR payroll, insurance/brokerage, education, public administration), AI services (agent-based automation, RAG chatbots, vision-capable document extraction), and UX design. The company is an SAP PartnerEdge Silver/Services Partner since 2003, an ISO 9001-certified firm, an official EUDI-Wallet Service Provider, and a participant in the federal Sandbox Initiative.

The technical core is the enmeshed framework, published as open source on GitHub in 2022, which provides end-to-end encrypted, GDPR-compliant data exchange between organizations and private users. j&s-soft packages enmeshed into verticalized wallet products and integrates them with SAP HCM, SAP SuccessFactors, DATEV, and Personio for HR payroll workflows. The company also maintains wdi5, the official SAP-endorsed open-source test framework for SAPUI5/OpenUI5 applications, and operates an AI stack combining RAG, NLP, computer vision, and agentic workflows, with deployments in document extraction and medical chatbots. Customers include DAX and MDAX-listed enterprises, German medium-sized businesses, and public-sector bodies such as Mein Bildungsraum and Stadt Heidelberg.

j&s-soft operates a consulting-led go-to-market model: engagements typically begin with workshops or feasibility studies and progress to integration and operational support, with workshops also sold as discrete offerings (wdi5 training via GitHub Sponsors, AI workshops in one-hour/one-day/multi-day formats). The company monetizes SAP implementation services, custom software development, wallet implementation and customization, AI consulting and workshops, and academy/training services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is led by CEO Dirk Jennerjahn (sole managing director since 2015, led the 2024 AG conversion), COO Kai-Uwe Beifuß, and CTO Thomas Steinmetz, with an employee shareholding scheme established in 2013.
