What DATEC pro does

DATEC pro GmbH is a privately held German IT system house (Systemhaus) founded in 1989 and headquartered in Hamburg. The company delivers a broad portfolio of IT services spanning strategic consulting, software development, managed service and helpdesk support, hardware and software procurement, virtualization, network security and monitoring, and certified data recovery. Service delivery combines on-site engagement with remote support via TeamViewer and a Zammad-based ticket portal for contract customers, with the operating footprint limited to Germany.

The company's product portfolio includes three named offerings: PontoPlus 2010, a management tool for inland waterway shipping operators covering fleet administration and operations; PSM (Printer Supply Monitor), a manufacturer-independent utility that automates toner ordering and tracks print consumption; and the PharmaConsult division, a GxP-compliant software practice serving pharmaceutical companies with LIMS implementation, custom database development, and system integration. Custom database-driven solutions are also delivered across retail, manufacturing, laboratories, music production/distribution, PR agencies, and engineering/architecture firms, indicating a multi-vertical service business.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services (consulting, managed services, helpdesk) and one-time software licenses for proprietary products, with hardware procurement contributing a transactional stream. The GTM motion is sales-led direct engagement with enterprise and mid-market B2B clients, supplemented by a ticket-based support channel. Strategic partnerships with Microsoft, VMware, Barracuda, WatchGuard, and Lexmark position the company as a multi-vendor integrator, while a core partnership with Certus Quality Assurance (since 2010) anchors the pharmaceutical GxP practice and a CBL Datenrettung service partnership (since 2016) extends the data recovery capability. The company remains founder/management-owned with no disclosed external investment.
