Giesse Partner

What Giesse Partner does

Giesse + Partner Software GmbH is a privately held German software company founded in 1982 and headquartered in Erlangen, Germany. The company develops and licenses two proprietary enterprise software products: HVW3, a comprehensive property management (Immobilienverwaltung) suite covering WEG-Verwaltung (condominium/community of owners administration), Mietverwaltung (rental management), and SEV functionality, and SVV1, a separate platform purpose-built for managing German school associations (Schulvereine). The software is positioned as a complete, multi-device-accessible solution for the German housing and real estate administration market, with marketing materials emphasizing accessibility across desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone platforms.

The company serves a primarily German B2B customer base of professional property management companies, housing associations, and real estate administrators handling WEG, rental, and commercial portfolios, with a secondary vertical of school associations and parent-teacher organizations for the SVV1 product. Customer acquisition follows an event-driven go-to-market model anchored on direct sales from the Erlangen headquarters, supplemented by participation in German property management industry trade shows (Stay Fresh in Darmstadt, Süd-West-Verwaltertage in Baden-Baden), a structured training and online-workshop program around WEG-Abrechnung and Mietabrechnung, and an active content-marketing blog.

Giesse + Partner monetizes through software licensing and subscriptions (no public pricing disclosed) and complementary training and workshop services. The company appears to be founder/owner-operated with no disclosed external investors, parent company, subsidiaries, M&A activity, patents, or awards. It maintains a visible partnership with VDIV (Verband der Immobilienverwalter Deutschland e.V.), the German Property Managers Association, and is affiliated with the AG Digitalisierung working group.

Core offering

Giesse + Partner Software GmbH develops and licenses proprietary enterprise software for the German property management and school association markets. Its flagship product HVW3 is a comprehensive software solution for property management covering WEG (condominium owners' association) administration, rental management (Mietverwaltung), and SEV functionality, accessible across multiple devices. Its secondary product SVV1 is a software platform dedicated to managing school associations (Schulvereine).

Product overview

Giesse + Partner Software GmbH offers two distinct core software products: HVW3 and SVV1. HVW3 is a comprehensive property management software solution targeting the German housing and real estate sector, supporting WEG (community of owners) management, rental management, and facility operations. SVV1 is a separate software platform designed specifically for managing school associations (Schulvereine). The company positions these as parallel product lines addressing different administrative domains rather than an integrated platform with modules.
