Infobest

What Infobest does

Infobest Systemhaus GmbH is a German IT outsourcing company headquartered in Leverkusen, founded in 2000, that delivers software development and IT staffing services to enterprise and mid-market clients primarily in the DACH region. It operates through four IT sourcing engagement models — Managed Outsourcing (dedicated teams), Extended Workbench / staff augmentation, IT Staffing/Recruitment, and On-site Deployment — executed largely from its nearshore engineering center in Timisoara, Romania. The portfolio spans custom software development, e-commerce platforms, mobile applications, QA and testing, B2B IT support, and web/graphic design, across an unusually broad technology stack: .NET, Java/J2EE (including Java 21, Spring Boot 3, GraalVM), PHP (Laravel, Symfony, Yii 2, CodeIgniter, CakePHP, Laminas, Phalcon), mobile (iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter), and legacy mainframes (COBOL, PL/I).

Beyond core development, Infobest has layered dedicated solutions lines in AI/ML (machine learning, deep learning, generative AI, agentic AI, NLP, anomaly detection, predictive analytics), Cloud (migration and identity management), IoT, and Big Data. Its customer base spans E-commerce, Manufacturing & Industrial, Media & Communications, Telecom/ICT, Automotive, and Finance, with named enterprise references including Continental Automotive Timisoara, DER Touristik, Orion Engineered Carbons, and New Directions GmbH. The company is wholly owned by AROBS Transilvania Software S.A., a publicly listed Romanian software group, which provides capital backing and broader delivery scale.

Revenue is generated on a project-based, quote-driven professional services model across both managed services (staff augmentation / managed outsourcing on retainer or hourly terms) and bespoke software development, typically structured as multi-year engagements. The primary value proposition — articulated explicitly in client testimonials — combines 20-40% cost savings versus onshore German development with cultural, linguistic, and time-zone alignment, supported by 20+ years of standardized processes. Distribution is direct B2B sales supported by content marketing (blog, SEO), LinkedIn/XING, and an email newsletter targeting German-speaking enterprise decision-makers.
