Be.Beyond

What Be.Beyond does

Be.Beyond GmbH & Co KG is a privately held German digital agency and Web-to-Print software vendor founded in 2008 and headquartered in Willich, North Rhine-Westphalia. The company develops and sells the Lead-Print product family — a suite of three Web-to-Print modules: Online Creator (open B2C print shop with online design, calculation, and data upload), Online Druckshop (open B2C/B2B shop with calculation and automated data verification), and Print Lounge (closed B2B portals for CI-compliant print procurement) — built primarily in PHP with object-oriented development and integrated with CMS platforms such as Typo3, WordPress, and Contao. Complementing the product family, Be.Beyond provides Web-to-Print consulting (drawing on 450+ realized projects), custom web development and outsourcing services for agencies, and professional typesetting for complex forms, insurance applications, and conditions documents.

The company serves a mix of printing companies, media service providers, and corporate clients across Europe. Customer logos include FLYERALARM (running a whitelabel Lead-Print resellershop with 340+ predefined products), Carl Zeiss Sports Optics, Sonor, HOCHTIEF Solutions, Targo Bank, TÜV Rheinland, Loyalty Partner (Payback), and Town & Country Haus, alongside numerous regional SMB printers. Go-to-market is sales-led and consulting-first, with custom-quoted multi-year SaaS contracts rather than publicly listed pricing; pricing is quote-based and tailored to customer requirements.

Be.Beyond operates as a GmbH & Co KG with two managing directors (André Hausmann and Gopal Nath) and approximately 20+ digital specialists. The company has not disclosed external funding, acquisitions, or institutional investment, and ownership appears founder-driven. Revenue is not publicly reported.
