3C Deutschland

What 3C Deutschland does

3C Deutschland GmbH is a privately held German software company headquartered in Heilbronn with a second office in Erfurt, founded in 2004 and operating for over 20 years in the insurance technology sector. The company provides a cloud-based digital claims management platform that automates the full claims lifecycle from First Notice of Loss (FNOL) to payout for insurance carriers in Germany and Switzerland. The platform is modular: a core orchestration layer handles triage, next-best-action, and dispatch of damage service providers, while add-on modules cover AI-powered fraud pattern recognition, RiskShield-driven recourse detection, workshop and automotive glass process automation, expert assignment, renovation and tradesmen workflows, settlement, and AI-supported veterinary bill verification for pet insurance. The company connects 30+ insurers with more than 18,000 service providers and processes over 10 million transactions per year.

The business model is B2B enterprise SaaS sold directly to insurance carriers on a subscription/recurring basis, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. 3C operates a partnership-led go-to-market, describing its relationships with insurers as collaborative rather than transactional, and has built an integrated ecosystem of technology partners (Solera Audatex, SilverDAT, Innovation Group, MyGutachter, Vaarhaft, riparo, Expira, SPN) that feed claims data into the platform. The company is founder-managed (Thorsten Haag, Uwe Mengs, and Dr. Joakim Nägele as Managing Directors, plus a CCO), has 100+ employees, has not disclosed external funding, and serves a vertical customer segment consisting exclusively of insurance companies in the DACH region.
