What Evosec does

Evosec GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held German software company headquartered in Bocholt, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Herbrand Gruppe, a diversified automotive dealership group based in the Münsterland region of Germany. The company was created when the Herbrand Group's internal IT department commercialized its automotive-specific software for external dealerships, and today it develops web-based software solutions that digitize operations for car dealerships (Autohäuser), with particular focus on premium-brand dealers including Mercedes-Benz dealerships in the Niederrhein region and beyond.

The company's core product is Workshop Control, a web-based service workshop software that digitizes the entire service workflow — covering central order intake, workshop planning and control, spare parts organization, central invoicing, and digital payment processing — enabling near-complete paperless workshop operations. Around this core, Evosec offers an integrated module suite: evoKalk for digitizing the vehicle sales process from inquiry to commission, evoCam as a smartphone app for vehicle photography and dealer-portal uploads, Digitale Fahrzeugakte as a centralized digital vehicle file, Digitale Signatur for eIDAS-compliant digital signatures, and TESSA for digital vehicle fleet management with real-time tracking. The platform integrates with multiple German dealer management systems (AlphaPlus, Care, eSuite, Vaudis), document management systems (d.3ecm, docuware), financial accounting (SKR51-compatible), and payment providers (bezahl.de).

Evosec operates a B2B sales-led go-to-market, selling software licenses and subscriptions directly to German automotive dealerships through direct engagement with management and service personnel. Its GTM is supported by industry event participation (AUTOHAUS/Fairgarage Servicekongress, Workshop Control Connect), trade press coverage in AUTOHAUS and kfz-betrieb, and a LinkedIn presence. The company currently has approximately 30 employees across offices in Bocholt (headquarters), Goch, and Kevelaer, with the bulk of staff allocated to software development, consulting, and business development for software rollout across European automotive dealer groups.
