Future-Xperts

What Future-Xperts does

Future-Xperts is the customer-facing brand of TAROX Marketplace GmbH, a privately held German IT system house founded in 1998 and headquartered in Lünen, Germany. The company offers an outsourced IT department for the German Mittelstand and public-sector clients, organized around five solution pillars: Managed Desktop and Managed Server services with proactive monitoring, patch management, and antivirus; Managed Security built on Sophos technology covering endpoint, server, mobile, and firewall; Cloud services including virtual servers, cloud backup, Microsoft Windows 365 Cloud PC, and NFON Cloudya IP telephony; Business Applications (Microsoft 365, DocuWare document management, and DATEV SmartIT accounting); and Data Protection (external DPO subscriptions and GDPR assessments) plus a TÜV-certified training Akademie.

Underlying technology is entirely partner-based: there is no proprietary core platform, and services are management and consulting wrappers on Microsoft, Sophos, NFON, DocuWare, and DATEV platforms. The business model is predominantly subscription/managed-services revenue with per-device or per-user monthly pricing (e.g., €4.99–€16.99 per desktop, €49–€155.99 per server, €198–€1,450 per month for DocuWare tiers), complemented by hardware/software sales through the future-x.de B2B e-commerce platform and one-time professional services fees for workshops, licensing consulting, and digitalization assessments.

Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, targeting German SMBs and public institutions through free initial consultations booked via an integrated Outlook calendar, supported by TÜV-certified training workshops as both a demand-generation channel and direct revenue line. Distribution is nationwide (bundesweit) but exclusively within Germany, with no disclosed international footprint. The company is led by Managing Director Rüdiger Hubrach and reports a headcount of 11-50 employees, with no external funding, parent company, or M&A activity disclosed.
