What adiutaByte GmbH does

adiutaByte GmbH is a Sankt Augustin, Germany-based B2B SaaS company, founded in 2019 as a spin-off of Fraunhofer Institute SCAI, that provides AI-powered mathematical optimization for tour, duty, and deployment planning. Its core technology — described as patented Fraunhofer technology developed over more than a decade — automatically matches orders, vehicles and employees within seconds while processing thousands of inputs against over 100 constraints (time windows, employee qualifications, vehicle capacities, shift preferences, traffic conditions, EV charging availability). The company serves municipal services (waste collection, recycling), home care and stationary nursing, pharmacy courier services, and specialty logistics customers across the DACH region and selectively in the UK.

The product portfolio consists of six modules: adiutaOpt (REST API integration of the optimization engine into customer ERPs or partner software), adiutaPlan (tour planning interface), adiutaDrive (driver mobile app with navigation and digital signatures), adiutaAnalytics (data analysis and reporting), adiutaPortal (online booking platform), and adiutaService (call-center support tool). The platform is offered via two commercial routes: a full SaaS software suite sold direct to enterprises, and an Algorithms-as-a-Service API sold to software partners (MEDIFOX DAN, apomap, tegos/enwis) that embed optimization into their own vertical applications.

The business generates revenue primarily through recurring SaaS and API subscriptions, supplemented by project-based professional services for ERP integrations. Distribution is hybrid: direct enterprise field sales to municipal and healthcare buyers, plus embedded channel sales through strategic vertical software partners. The named customer base — including Stadtreinigung Hamburg, Berlin Recycling, Wirtschaftsbetriebe Duisburg, Mertrux Ltd, MEDIFOX DAN and apomap — anchors the company in German public-sector waste and nursing, with selected international and private-sector extensions. Pricing is quote-based with annual billing cadence, and the company is privately held by its four managing directors with no disclosed external venture or private equity funding.

Revenue model

1. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) — Full Software Suite: Customers can subscribe to the full adiutaByte software suite including software interfaces, driver app, and data management. This is the primary SaaS revenue stream, likely billed on a per-vehicle or per-user subscription basis.
2. Algorithms-as-a-Service / API Access: Revenue is generated from API access fees for customers who integrate the optimization engine into their existing ERP, WMS, or proprietary systems. Implementation is billed separately (described as achievable within hours with no hardware investment). The API pricing model is not publicly disclosed.
3. Professional Services & Implementation: Implementation and consulting services for integration into existing customer systems (e.g., tegos/enwis ERP integration, apomap pharmacy software integration). These services are project-based and supplement the SaaS/API recurring revenue.

Core offering

adiutaByte GmbH develops and sells an AI-based software suite for dynamic real-time tour, duty, and deployment planning across fleet operations. The core offering is the adiutaOpt optimization engine, delivered either as a full SaaS suite (planning UI, driver app, analytics, customer portal, service-center tool) or as Algorithms-as-a-Service via a stateless REST API that customers or software partners embed into their existing ERP, WMS, or proprietary systems. The technology was developed over more than a decade at the Fraunhofer Institute SCAI and is offered to municipal services, home-care nursing, ambulatory care, pharmacy delivery, waste management, and specialty logistics operators.

Product overview

adiutaByte offers a modular software suite for KI-based tour, duty, and deployment planning with a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core optimization engine (adiutaOpt/adiutaPlan) powers route optimization algorithms developed from over a decade of Fraunhofer research. The suite includes: adiutaOpt (API-based integration module for connecting to existing ERP/warehouse systems), adiutaPlan (AI tour planning module), adiutaDrive (Tour Assistant driver mobile app), adiutaAnalytics (data analysis and reporting), adiutaPortal (customer-facing booking and coordination platform), and adiutaService (service center support tool). The products serve multiple industries including waste management, healthcare/nursing, pharmacy delivery, and special logistics, with customer-specific software integrations via API or full software suite deployment.
