H & R Netzwerk

What H & R Netzwerk does

H & R Netzwerk GmbH is a German IT system house and managed service provider headquartered in Gronau-Epe (Münsterland region), operating continuously since 1987 and incorporated as a GmbH in 1995. The firm delivers IT consulting, infrastructure deployment, managed services, 24/7 remote monitoring, and on-site support to small and medium-sized enterprises across western Münsterland, the Ruhr area, and — for Tobit David support — worldwide. It serves over 5,000 customers with horizontal coverage across industry, production, crafts, public administration, and services, and administers over 4,000 Tobit David unified-communications installations as the largest Tobit partner in the Ahaus region (5-Sterne Partner / formerly Tobit Premium Partner since 2007).

The core product stack is built around Tobit David (david3, David Pro, chayns) as the unified communications backbone, layered with email and document archiving (MailStore, ecoDMS, Securepoint UMA), IT security (Securepoint NextGen UTM firewalls and Antivirus Pro powered by IKARUS T3.scan, Veeam Backup Essentials), Fujitsu PRIMERGY server infrastructure, and the firm's own proprietary 24/7 Remote Monitoring System hosted outside customer networks. Technical differentiation comes from the "Plattform Monitoring" approach (bundled sensor subscriptions covering full functional processes) and the GDPR-compliant positioning of German-made security and AI (Tobit KI Sidekick Services) for regulated verticals.

The revenue model combines four streams: (1) professional services — managed IT, consulting, on-site and remote support; (2) one-time and recurring software/hardware product sales via direct sales and an e-commerce shop; (3) IT leasing and bundled FlexInfo financing through a third-party leasing partner; and (4) premium Tobit support services including a B2B2B Tobit Direct-Support offering for other IT service providers. Pricing is per-seat / per-device with multi-year volume discounts (MailStore €22–63/user/year; Securepoint Antivirus €16–30/device/year; David licenses €148.75–€1,065+; UTM appliances €2,049–€15,699; FWaaS rental from €2,049/month). The company is privately held, founder-controlled under Managing Director Harald Beine, with no disclosed external investment.

Direct peers

• Ratiodata GmbH: German IT system house serving banks, SMEs, and public sector with managed services, workplace solutions, and hardware procurement. Closely comparable in service breadth (managed IT, security, archiving) and SMB/mid-market orientation.
• SHD AG: German IT system house with a focus on SMB and mid-market managed services, workplace, and security. Comparable in target customer profile, service portfolio (managed IT, security, archiving), and Systemhaus hybrid business model.
• NetPlans GmbH: Independent German IT system integrator providing managed services, cloud, security, and unified communications for SMBs. Closely mirrors H&R's combination of UC, security, backup, and managed monitoring, with a similar regional multi-site footprint across southern Germany.
• SVA System Vertrieb Alexander GmbH: Mid-sized German IT system house combining enterprise hardware resale (Cisco, HPE, Fujitsu) with professional and managed services. Closely matches H&R's hybrid resale/services model and similar vendor partner mix, though operating at larger scale and broader German footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Allgeier SE: German IT services group offering software, IT staffing, and managed enterprise services. Comparable business model overlap in IT services and system integration, though Allgeier is a larger, publicly listed group with a more diversified portfolio.
• CANCOM SE: German managed services and hybrid cloud provider with a strong SMB/mid-market focus and a hardware resale business. Operates in the same Systemhaus + managed services category as H&R but at significantly larger scale, with a heavier tilt toward cloud and managed workplace services.

Comparable in combining enterprise hardware resale with recurring managed services, though serving much larger enterprise clients across multiple countries.

Regional players

Others

• Tobit Software AG: Vendor of the david3 unified communications platform that anchors H&R's core product offering. Included as the upstream ecosystem partner whose product strategy and channel program materially shape H&R's go-to-market.
