What more! software does

more! software GmbH is a privately held German IT vendor headquartered in Montabaur that develops and sells more! rubin, an integrated session management and committee information system (Sitzungsmanagement- und Gremieninfosystem) used primarily by German municipal administrations and, to a lesser extent, associations, public-sector staff councils, companies, and clubs. The product suite consists of three base modules (Sitzungsdienst for meeting workflow, Sitzungsgeld for compensation accounting, and Gremieninfosystem for the web-based council information portal), the more! dipolis mobile app available on iOS, Android, and Windows 10/11, and a set of add-on modules covering certified digital voting (more! voting, gpaNRW certified October 2025), print management, PDF stamping, motion management (Antragsverwaltung), and two AI modules for audio transcription and German administrative language writing assistance. Underlying technology is browser-based, modular, and deployed via on-premise installations (over 600 in Germany) or managed cloud hosting.

The company has been operating the more! rubin product since 1994, giving it roughly three decades of domain depth in German municipal processes. According to the company, more than 14,000 committees, 30,000 administrative employees, and 130,000 committee members use the system daily. The company is led by Managing Director Thomas Franz and shows no evidence of external institutional investment, parent companies, or subsidiaries. Revenue is generated primarily through subscription licensing of base and add-on modules on multi-year contracts, supplemented by managed web hosting on a monthly flat-rate, paid training and webinar services, and custom project programming. Distribution combines direct sales with a regional sales partner (KISA in Saxony) and four CMS interface partners (Chamaeleon AG, brain-SCC GmbH, net-Com AG, Nolis GmbH). Headcount is in the 11-50 range.
