ACRIBIT

What ACRIBIT does

ACRIBIT GmbH is a Dresden-based IT services and consultancy, founded in 1998/1999, that delivers managed IT services and distributes related hardware to public-sector clients, industrial enterprises, and small-to-medium businesses across eastern Germany (Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia, Brandenburg, Berlin, and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). The service portfolio covers IT project planning, IT security, e-invoicing (E-Rechnung), document management systems (DMS), data protection consulting, and IP telephony. On the hardware side, ACRIBIT sells and services printing/copying equipment from Ricoh, HP PageWide, and Xerox; interactive displays from Newline and IPEVO; and specialized book and archive scanners (BookTEK, WideTEK) from Image Access. A dedicated sub-brand, acribit-buchscanner.de, focuses on cultural-heritage institutions.

The company's proprietary technology centers on ASM (ACRIBIT Service Management), an SNMP-based fleet-monitoring tool that proactively tracks printer/MFP counter status, toner levels, and error messages at configurable intervals across customer fleets. ACRIBIT also offers the HalloPetra AI-powered digital telephone assistant via partnership, providing speech recognition, automated call routing, and appointment scheduling, as well as OCR/HTR-enabled digitization workflows through its scanner channel. Marketing relies on a content-led website and blog (active through 2026), a Facebook page, and industry event participation; pricing is largely quote-based with limited public list prices.

ACRIBIT generates revenue through professional services (consulting, IT security, project planning), hardware sales (printers, scanners, displays, including refurbished equipment), and managed services (ASM fleet monitoring). The company is founder-led by Falk Mättig (CEO/Geschäftsführer) and Petra Mättig (HR), independently owned with no institutional backing, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, and no disclosed funding rounds. Headcount is in the 11–50 range, the entity is a private German GmbH, and there is no claim of global footprint.
