PT Prieler Tometich Verlag

What PT Prieler Tometich Verlag does

PT Prieler Tometich Verlag (PT Verlag) is a privately held Austrian GmbH founded in 1998 and headquartered in Mattersburg, Burgenland. The company operates as a specialized publisher (Spezialverlag) in occupational, organizational, and economic psychology, holding rights to a portfolio of scientifically validated psychometric instruments — including SALSA, FIT 2.0, TBS-GA, REBA Online, COPA 2.0, FEMIA, and BHD — developed by leading European occupational psychology authors and certified to ISO 10075, DIN 33430, and ÖNORM standards.

The company's core technology is the askQ Testing Systems platform, a modular web-based software for test development, administration, and analysis built on the TMBP (Taoweb Multi Business Platform). askQ supports customizable questionnaire logic, adaptive questioning, online/offline data collection (including an Android diary study app), and statistical evaluation of work-related psychological assessment data. The platform is used across Europe for employee surveys, psychological risk assessments under EU occupational health regulations, personnel selection, and research applications.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining annual licensing of proprietary psychometric procedures, multi-year software subscriptions to askQ, hourly professional services through PT Consult (project planning, survey management, technical support), and R&D contracts for developing new measurement procedures. The company serves large enterprises, universities, healthcare organizations, government agencies, and insurers across Europe, with a disclosed reference portfolio of over 30 organizations including KPMG, Deutsche Post DHL, AUVA, ANDRITZ, University of Vienna, and BARMER. The company is fully bootstrapped and founder-owned, with no external investment, and operates with a small core team of approximately five named personnel.
