What PinnCalc does

PinnCalc EDV-Beratungs- und Vertriebs-GmbH (trading as PinnCalc, formerly P Software & Services) is a privately-held German software vendor founded in 1987 and headquartered in Eckernförde. The company develops a vertically specialized ERP-CAD-CAM software suite for German-speaking carpentry, joinery, furniture, interior-construction, and window/door manufacturers. Its flagship product, the Corpora ERP, covers the full order-to-invoice cycle including administration, costing, production planning, time tracking, and financial accounting output (DATEV/FiBu), and is modularly combined with TrunCAD (casegoods CAD), Venturi (window/door CAD), interiorcad powered by Vectorworks (interior-construction CAD), CAD/CAM (CNC program generation for Weeke, Homag, IMA and other machining centers up to 5-axis), Donau24 (a supplier e-commerce marketplace integrating 20+ suppliers with 1M+ articles), Corpora ToGo (mobile app for iOS, Android, and Windows), MEMOIO@CORPORA (B2B messenger), and ServicePLUS (bundled support, hotline, training, and updates).

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with no reseller channel: free consultation, demo, and phone-based outreach led by personnel who are themselves trained carpenters, supported by an extensive content and training library (PinnCalc-TV). Revenue is generated primarily through monthly software rental (with ServicePLUS bundled), supplemented by perpetual license plus maintenance contracts, professional services and training, modular add-ons (CAD, CAM, CNC integration), and emerging token-based AI subscriptions (KI@CORPORA and HalloPetra). Customers are overwhelmingly small and medium carpentry SMEs in the DACH region, with many relationships spanning 20+ years. Since 2023, PinnCalc has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of OneQrew GmbH, a DACH group of approximately 600 employees across 11 craft-software brands pursuing organic growth and European M&A expansion.

Revenue model

1. Software Rental (SaaS-like): The primary revenue model is software rental (Miete) with monthly or quarterly billing. Rental fees are based on the software package tier, number of licenses, and selected modules. ServicePLUS (including hotline, updates, training flat, and software insurance) is bundled into the rental price. The rental model allows customers to scale up or down with a 3-month notice period.
2. Perpetual Software License with ServicePLUS: One-time purchase (perpetual license) of software modules, with an obligatory or optional annual ServicePLUS maintenance contract (priced as a percentage of the software list price, minimum €70/month for PinnCalc software; €55–120/month for TrunCAD depending on configuration).
3. Professional Services & Training: Fee-based professional services including project support (Arbeitsvorbereitung, drawing creation), technical setup (master data entry, CAD/CNC integration), and commercial consulting (GoBD, DSGVO). Training is offered as a flat-rate add-on for purchased licenses (2–4 day intensive courses).
4. AI Token Packages (KI@CORPORA): Token-based AI text generation feature with three tiers (S: 100,000 tokens/€5/month; M: 200,000 tokens/€10/month; L: 400,000 tokens/€20/month), available as an add-on to the rental or purchased software.
5. Module Add-ons (Venturi, CAD/CAM): Modular software add-ons (Venturi, CAD/CAM) priced per workplace per month, with optional CNC integration services (e.g., €480 one-time setup for CNC interface).

Broad incumbents

• Homag Group: Leading global manufacturer of woodworking CNC machinery (Weeke, Homag, Homag Sawteq, etc.) and adjacent manufacturing software. PinnCalc integrates with Homag's CNC machines but Homag's broader portfolio (machines + software) makes it a broader incumbent in the same wood-processing value chain.
• SCM Group: Italian-based global manufacturer of woodworking machinery including CNC machining centers and software. Operates across the same value chain as PinnCalc (CAD/CAM to CNC execution) with a much broader machinery-and-software portfolio, serving as a broad incumbent in the European woodworking software space.
• Felder Group / Format-4: Austrian manufacturer of woodworking machines (Felder, Hammer, Format-4) and associated CAM software. Competes in the same end-to-end 'design to CNC' workflow as PinnCalc but with a broader machine portfolio spanning hobby through industrial segments.
• Weinig: German manufacturer of solid wood processing machinery and CNC technology, with associated software for the window/door and solid-wood segments. Competes with PinnCalc's Venturi CAD module for the window and door fabricator customer base in DACH and Europe.

Direct peers

• Palette CAD: German CAD/CAM software vendor specializing in cabinetmaking, furniture, and interior construction. Targets the same Tischlereien/Schreinereien SMB customer base in DACH and competes directly against TrunCAD and interiorcad.
• Cabinet Vision (Hexagon): CAD/CAM software for cabinetmakers and woodworkers, now part of Hexagon's manufacturing software portfolio. Competes directly with TrunCAD and PinnCalc's CAD/CAM stack for the cabinet and furniture manufacturing vertical.
• Microvellum: US-based developer of CAD/CAM software for cabinet, furniture, and architectural millwork manufacturers. Competes in the same product category as PinnCalc's CAD/CAM and TrunCAD modules for an overlapping customer profile of small-to-mid woodworking fabricators.
• imos AG: German developer of CAD/CAM software (imos iX) specifically for the woodworking and furniture industry. Direct head-to-head competitor to TrunCAD/interiorcad in the DACH carpentry market, serving the same SMB customer base with comparable vertical depth.
• PYTHA Lab: German provider of PYTHA CAD software for carpenters, joiners, and interior fitters. Competes directly with PinnCalc's CAD/CAM stack and serves the same German-speaking carpentry SMB segment with comparable parametric 3D modeling and CNC output capabilities.

Others

• Vectorworks: Provider of CAD software for architecture, interior, landscape, and entertainment design. PinnCalc resells Vectorworks-based interiorcad to its carpentry customers, making Vectorworks both a technology supplier and an adjacent competitor in interior-construction CAD.
