What CompASS Software does

CompASS Software GmbH is a German private limited company (GmbH) founded in 1991 and headquartered at Telse-Kampen-Str. 1, 25541 Brunsbüttel, Schleswig-Holstein, after relocating from Heiligenstedten in 2017. The company operates as a regional IT services provider and multi-vendor hardware/software reseller, targeting both businesses and private individuals across Germany. Its service portfolio is organized around three pillars: IT planning and implementation (Planung & Umsetzung), maintenance and care (Wartung & Pflege), and security consulting (Sicherheit). Product categories span desktop PCs, laptops, servers, printers, network printers, internet accessories, input devices, software, and consumables, sourced from various manufacturers and recommended on a manufacturer-neutral basis.

The business model is a hybrid of one-time hardware/software resale, project-based professional services (network design, server management, system integration), and recurring managed services (ongoing maintenance, security monitoring, anti-virus/firewall solutions, virus removal, system restoration). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct-to-customer via a physical storefront in Brunsbüttel, complemented by phone (04852 54535), email ([email protected]), and an online contact form; the website (compass-software.biz) serves as the primary digital presence. The authorized representative disclosed in the legal imprint is Bernd Schittko.

There is no proprietary technology platform, no app product, no API, no disclosed integrations, no AI capabilities, and no external funding or ownership disclosures in the available data. CompASS appears to be a founder/management-owned micro-IT business with a long operating history but limited evidence of growth, hiring, or technological differentiation.

Direct peers

• Allgeier SE: Munich-based IT services group combining IT consulting, software development and managed services for SMEs and enterprises across Germany. Provides a comparable full-stack IT partner model spanning infrastructure, applications and operations, making it a directly analogous mid-market competitor.
• Ratiodata SE: Münster-based IT system house and managed services provider focused on hardware, software, IT security, and infrastructure services for SMEs and banks. Closely comparable to CompASS in bundling hardware resale with planning, maintenance, and security services under a regional German footprint.
• SVA System Vertrieb Alexander GmbH: German IT system house headquartered in Wiesbaden offering a comparable mix of hardware/software resale, IT consulting, system integration, and managed services to enterprise and public-sector customers. Operates as a value-added reseller with manufacturer partnerships, closely mirroring CompASS's business model at a larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• CANCOM SE: Listed German provider of cloud, managed services and IT infrastructure for SMBs and enterprise customers. Comparable business model around IT infrastructure, services, and reseller economics, but with a far larger portfolio and stronger emphasis on hybrid cloud and managed services.
• Computacenter plc: UK-listed but strongly DACH-focused enterprise IT services provider offering infrastructure, managed services, and professional services. Overlaps with CompASS in IT infrastructure planning, deployment and ongoing support, but serves large enterprise and public-sector clients rather than regional SMBs.
• Bechtle AG: Germany's largest IT system house and publicly traded IT services provider with a nationwide network of locations. Overlaps with CompASS across hardware/software procurement, IT consulting, and managed services, but operates at significantly greater scale and breadth across the entire DACH region.

Others

• ALSO Group: Swiss-headquartered IT distributor (now part of DWS) operating across Germany and Europe, providing logistics, financing, and services to IT resellers and system integrators. Comparable as an upstream channel partner whose ecosystem CompASS-like resellers depend on for hardware and software supply.
