Kibe AG

What Kibe AG does

Kibe AG is a privately held Swiss business software provider founded in 1986 and headquartered in Frauenfeld, Switzerland. The company serves Swiss small and medium enterprises (KMU) with a portfolio anchored by two product lines: Kibe X5 Baustoffe, an integrated ERP solution positioned as the standard for the Swiss construction materials industry (gravel works, concrete plants, transport companies, disposal operations, asphalt plants, construction sites, earthworks), and X50 AI, an AI-powered accounting automation platform combining OCR document capture, intelligent bank reconciliation, rule-based invoice verification, and fraud detection against the Swiss UID registry. Kibe AG additionally resells and supports Infoniqa ONE 50 (formerly Sage 50 Extra) — Swissdec 4.0/5.0 certified financial accounting and payroll software — under a Key Partner agreement with Infoniqa (formerly Sage Schweiz AG) in place since 2012.

Underlying technology spans a Microsoft SQL-based accounting core, integration adapters for production systems (Liebherr, Ammann Langenthal, Dorner, Boch Waagen scales), Swiss banking and payment standards (MT940, Camt.053/054, ISO 20022, EBICS, ESR/ESR+, QR-bills), and Swiss data-center-hosted cloud delivery via Kibe Business Cloud. The company employs 1-10 people and operates exclusively within Switzerland, focused on the Thurgau and Eastern Switzerland region.

Kibe AG generates revenue primarily through recurring subscriptions to X50 AI (tiered at 80, 130, and 210 CHF per month with annual billing discounts and add-on modules), Kibe X5 industry solutions, Infoniqa ONE 50 licensing and cloud services, and supporting professional services (remote maintenance, consulting, training). Go-to-market combines direct sales through the company website and support portal with partner-led distribution via the Infoniqa/Sage network. Customer base spans thousands of Swiss SMEs across both the construction materials vertical and general SME accounting, with no large-anchor enterprise customers disclosed.
