What Severin IT solutions does

Severin EDV Lösungen (operating as Severin IT solutions) is a German sole proprietorship founded in November 1985 by Meinolf Severin and headquartered in Arnsberg-Hüsten, Germany. The firm provides ERP consulting, custom software development, and integration services to small and mid-sized companies in manufacturing, trading, and medical laboratory sectors, with all known customers based in Germany. Its reference portfolio includes over 20 named customers across 10+ industry verticals — including lighting, plastics, fasteners, steel trading, surface technology, locomotives, shipbuilding, drive technology, foundry, and steel furniture — alongside a healthcare segment spanning independent labs, international laboratory groups, hospital labs, clinic chains, university labs, rehabilitation clinics, ophthalmology practices, and IVF centers.

The technology stack centers on TimeLine ERP as the primary platform, augmented by bidirectional interfaces to major German financial accounting systems (DATEV, Diamant, Agenda, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics), laboratory information systems (LIS), BI tools (Antares), and CIB for ZUGFeRD / X-Rechnung e-invoicing compliance. The firm also resells and integrates ancillary products including JSSoftware ERP, Antares BI solutions, and the CANEI AI-supported financial liquidity planning tool. Custom software development is delivered in the commercial domain, with each engagement covering analysis, conception, installation, training, and ongoing support.

The business model is sales-led and direct, with revenue generated from three streams: professional services (ERP consulting, process analysis, and custom development), recurring support and maintenance subscriptions, and one-time license/customization revenue from individual software products. Pricing is bespoke, quote-based, and contracted on multi-year cadences. The firm operates as a one-person enterprise with no external investment, no parent company, and no formally disclosed headcount beyond the sole proprietor. Customer acquisition is driven by direct outreach, referrals, and the company website (severin-edv.de); there is no evidence of geographic expansion beyond Germany or of organizational scaling.
