Lobovo

What Lobovo does

Lobovo (legally LOBOVO GmbH) is a privately held Swiss software company headquartered at Fuchsiastrasse 7 in Zurich that designs, builds, and operates long-term production systems for organizations whose software must remain reliable for five or more years. The firm targets enterprises with multiple integrated systems and regulated workflows across healthcare, financial services, and support operations, addressing pain points such as technical debt accumulation, knowledge concentration in individuals, small changes requiring disproportionate effort, and maintenance gaps over multi-year horizons. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, operates with a 1–10 employee footprint, and serves Swiss and international clients.

The product portfolio consists of three lines. Lucy is a medical practice management software launched in 2019 that runs clinical workflows across Swiss healthcare settings with patient encounter forms, keyboard-driven shortcuts, offline capability, encrypted data at rest with point-in-time recovery, and complete audit logging; it operates at 99.97% uptime. Novaico, introduced in 2021, is a multi-tenant support automation platform that processes 2,400+ messages daily through an AI classification pipeline achieving 94% accuracy with confidence scoring, human-in-the-loop escalation, staged rollouts, and automatic rollback. Bespoke Systems is a custom development service delivering tailored production applications (including a healthcare workflow platform serving 500+ daily users in production for three years, a financial reporting pipeline processing 50M+ records monthly, and internal platforms integrated with 4+ legacy systems) through structured engagements spanning discovery, foundation, build, harden, and operate phases. Underlying platform infrastructure includes caching layers, load balancers, database replicas, and queue systems designed for longevity over novelty.

The business model combines multi-year subscription contracts for bespoke system development with managed-services revenue from directly operating Lucy and Novaico in production. Pricing is quote-based with no public tiers; engagements are billed as multi-year contracts with ongoing operation and maintenance. Go-to-market is direct and consultation-based, emphasizing substantive discovery conversations rather than quick calls, supported by interactive website demonstrations of system behavior under load and minimal outbound marketing. The company is compliant with Swiss nDSG and applicable GDPR provisions, uses Vercel for hosting, Formspree for contact forms, and Google Analytics with explicit consent.
