What PS Team does

PS Team GmbH is a German SaaS provider and managed services company that develops digital process solutions for the mobility, automotive, and financial sectors. Founded approximately 35 years ago and headquartered in Hofbieber, Germany, the company employs 51-100 people and operates across DACH and Western European markets including France and Austria. The privately held business is owned by Peter Schmehl, with Marco Reichwein serving as CEO. PS Team combines a SaaS platform with physical service delivery, positioning itself as a single-source process partner for fleet operators, leasing companies, banks, and insurance providers.

The company's product portfolio spans four functional clusters: (1) digital vehicle registration via direct iKfz interfaces to German fleet registration offices, enabling fully digital nationwide centralized and decentralized registration; (2) physical and digital document management, including trust custody of vehicle documents and high-volume printing/shipping of ZB II, CoC, and other registration documents; (3) fleet operations services covering vehicle transport and relocation, traffic ticket management, vehicle taxation handling, and online deregistration; and (4) financial-sector services including a European asset register for double-financing prevention, inventory verification, machinery and vehicle valuations, and CO2 emissions reporting for ESG compliance. Sub-brands include CarbonXplorer (CO2 transparency tool), PS Team Valuations, and SalesCheck (sales promotion verification).

PS Team monetizes through SaaS subscriptions for process automation applications and through professional services for document printing, vehicle logistics, and registration processing. The company employs a direct sales model with dedicated account managers targeting enterprise and mid-market customers via a consultative, quote-based pricing approach. Distribution is primarily domestic German with active expansion into Austria and France. Revenue is estimated at approximately EUR 100M based on operational scale metrics, though no audited financial disclosures are available. The company holds a minority investment in Findustrial GmbH (Austria) to develop Pay-per-Use financing solutions and has partnered with STH Consulting for lifecycle CO2 reporting.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Samsara: Samsara is a public, large-scale IoT and fleet management platform serving enterprise customers globally. It does not directly compete in German vehicle registration/document processing but competes for the broader fleet software wallet of large enterprise customers.
• Geotab: Geotab is a global leader in fleet telematics and connected vehicle data, serving enterprise fleets with broader product breadth than PS Team. It competes for fleet operator budgets on data-driven fleet management, but does not match PS Team's deep German registration/document management specialization.
• Arvato Financial Solutions: Arvato, a Bertelsmann subsidiary, provides credit risk management, fraud prevention, and financial services BPO across Europe. Its financial sector risk management portfolio overlaps with PS Team's Semlabs fraud prevention and Bestandspruefungen asset verification offerings to banks and lessors.
• Webfleet (Bridgestone): Webfleet, the Bridgestone-owned fleet management SaaS platform, serves European fleets with telematics, vehicle tracking, and workflow tooling. It competes for fleet operator software spend with broader feature scope but less depth in German-specific registration and document processes.

Direct peers

• Targa Telematics: Targa Telematics provides fleet management, connected vehicle, and asset management SaaS to rental, leasing, and corporate fleet operators across Europe. Its asset management and smart mobility solutions overlap with PS Team's fleet administration, registration, and relocation services for mobility-sector customers.
• DAT Group (Deutsche Automobil Treuhand): DAT is the dominant German provider of vehicle valuation data, residual value forecasting, and automotive market intelligence. It directly overlaps with PS Team's valuation tools (PS Team Valuations, Maschinen-Bewertung) and serves many of the same OEM, leasing, and dealer customers in the German market.
• Autovista Group (Eurotax/Schwacke): Autovista operates the Eurotax and Schwacke vehicle valuation brands across Europe, providing residual value data, forecast tooling, and used vehicle market intelligence to OEMs, leasing companies, and dealers—closely mirroring PS Team's automotive valuation and asset management offerings at a European scale.

Others

• Coface: Coface is a global trade credit insurer and risk information provider serving financial institutions and corporates. While not a direct software competitor, it serves an overlapping customer base of banks, lessors, and asset financiers that PS Team targets with its fraud prevention and asset verification products.

Regional players

• SCHUFA: SCHUFA is Germany's leading consumer and business credit bureau, providing credit risk data and fraud prevention services to German banks and financial institutions. It addresses adjacent fraud/credit risk use cases to PS Team's Semlabs solution but is not a direct competitor in vehicle-specific asset verification.

Emerging players

• DocuWare: DocuWare provides cloud-based document management and workflow automation for mid-market and enterprise customers, including regulated industries. It competes for the document management portion of PS Team's stack but lacks PS Team's vertical mobility/registration specialization.
