What AV Software Solutions 360° does

AV Software Solutions 360° (AVS) is a German software and IT services company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Sankt Augustin, operating as a competence center (Leistungseinheit) within Bechtle IT-Systemhaus Bonn-Köln GmbH & Co. KG, the publicly-listed Bechtle AG group. The company develops three proprietary products: A365 MAVERICK, a cloud-native Enterprise Information Management platform with BPMN 2.0 workflow automation and AI-powered document management; Signum Framework, an MIT-licensed open-source .NET Core modular application development framework; and PM²/PMFlexOne (#promt), an AI-integrated project management platform combining PRINCE2, PRINCE2 Agile, PM², and PMflex methodologies. It also implements and resells partner platforms including Appian (low-code automation), Salesforce (CRM), Tableau (BI), LeanIX (enterprise architecture), and Jitterbit (API integration), alongside an internal AI-enhanced Internal Developer Platform built on Humanitec, NVIDIA GPU infrastructure, and Dell Apex Cloud.

The company serves German public administration (its roots lie in federal eGovernment and digital document administration), NGOs, and large enterprise clients across the DACH region, with a flagship reference account at the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) since 2017. Revenue is generated through a blend of subscription/licensing for proprietary products (A365 MAVERICK, PM²/PMFlexOne) and professional services revenue from consulting, implementation, integration, and managed operations across both proprietary and partner platforms, supplemented by an ancillary event-venue rental business at the Cultivation C720° location. GTM is enterprise field sales with consulting-led engagements, demo-driven demand capture, event marketing (Developer Days, Hackathons, Meetups), and multi-channel partner distribution through Bechtle and technology vendors.

Commercial scale is modest: firmographic data lists 51–100 employees while company sources cite 140+ team members, with operations concentrated across three offices in the Bonn/Cologne/Sankt Augustin corridor. No revenue, funding, or valuation is publicly disclosed; pricing for all products is quote-based with no e-commerce self-serve channel. The company differentiates through data sovereignty (GDPR-compliant on-premises deployment), open-source architecture, deep hyperscaler multi-cloud expertise, and a unique Viable System Model organizational design.
