What REWOO Software does

REWOO Software GmbH is a German independent software vendor headquartered in Warendorf (HRB 14708, Amtsgericht Münster) that sells REWOO Scope, a low-code platform for digitizing approval workflows, document management, project management, order management, and business analytics inside small and mid-sized companies (Mittelstand) across the DACH region. Founded in 2008 and operating with 11–50 employees, the company serves a long tail of SMB customers (such as August Kreienbaum GmbH) alongside selective enterprise and institutional accounts (Philips Lighting, Teleplan International, Evangelische Landeskirche in Baden). The platform is built on Grails (Java-based framework) with PostgreSQL, deployed in three modes — on-premise/intranet, customer web server, or REWOO-managed cloud hosting in Germany (98% availability SLA) — and incorporates Apache Shiro for security, Apache Tika and Lucene for document indexing, OCR (via OCRmyPDF since v18.3), WebRTC/Jitsi for embedded web meetings, REST API access, and SAML/LDAP/Active Directory integration.

The company monetizes through a multi-model revenue stack: perpetual one-time licenses, a subscription rental model capped at €49 per user per month (minimum 36-month term, 5% annual price-increase cap), usage-based annual maintenance billed by hours committed, custom modeling/professional services, and managed hosting. Revenue diversification is further evidenced by standard vertical solutions (REWOO approve.IT for approvals, REWOO Projektigo for construction, REWOO EasyLager for warehouse, REWOO Handwerk for trades) and a services portfolio spanning consulting, training, integration, and licensing. Go-to-market is sales-led direct with a self-serve layer: 30-day free trials for REWOO Scope and EasyLager, unverbindliche Live-Demos booked via the website, plus SEO-driven content (a low-code/IT glossary, release notes, case studies) and a presence on Twitter, XING, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Distribution is single-country/Domestic with no disclosed channel or reseller network; all sales, implementation, and support are handled by REWOO Software GmbH directly. Multitenancy introduced in v18.0 (Sept 2023) and Spanish localization added in v18.5/18.6 (May–June 2024) signal the early infrastructure for both an MSP/hosted channel and adjacent-market expansion.
