CAIGOS

What CAIGOS does

CAIGOS GmbH is a German software company founded in 1989 and headquartered in Kirkel, operating as a subsidiary of the VIVAVIS Group. The company develops and sells modular Geo-IT and Asset Management software for network operators (electricity, gas, water, wastewater, district heating, telecommunications and fiber) and public administrations (municipalities, cities and state agencies) across the DACH region. Its portfolio is anchored on three core suites: CAIGOS GIS (a scalable Geo-IT platform spanning desktop, web and mobile), CAIGOS 360° AM (a web-based asset-management suite covering the full lifecycle from commissioning to decommissioning, including maintenance, fault management, network construction, workforce management, metering, budgeting, digital twin and dashboard modules), and CAIGOS 360° EM (an emergency-management suite for network-operator control centers). Supporting products include CAIGOS Globe (3D visualization), the CAIGOS DMS-Connector (CMIS-based document management integration with Alfresco, d.velop and elo), a family of specialized mobile field apps (Baum, Spielplatz, Straße, Aufbruch, Sinkkasten, Kleinkataster, FieldX, Asset Management App), the CAIGOS AppServer synchronization backend, a Geoportal/Bürger-GIS portal offering, and a SaaS/cloud hosting option.

The underlying technology stack combines C++, Delphi, Java/JavaScript (TypeScript, React) and modern web frameworks, delivered as on-premise installations or SaaS. CAIGOS monetizes through software licensing and subscriptions, professional services for implementation and data migration, maintenance and support contracts, and training via the CAIGOS Academy. Pricing is quote-based, customized by deployment type, modules, user count and implementation scope, with annual billing. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (dedicated Sales & Account Managers across five German offices in Kirkel, Ettlingen, Ingelheim, Leipzig and Bochum) with an indirect channel of at least 11 regional DACH partners and distribution through the VIVAVIS group's sales network. Marketing leverages the corporate website, newsletter, webinars, LinkedIn, YouTube, case studies and presence at events such as E-world energy & water and the Regionalforen Geo-IT. The company is ISO/IEC 27001:2017 and ISO 9001 certified, holds a "Made in Germany" designation, and reports more than 1,200 customers and 72,500+ installations.
