What NETFOX does

PRO DV AG, operating under the NETFOX brand (legal entity PRO DV AG, ISIN DE000A4096T1), is a Dortmund-headquartered, Munich Stock Exchange-listed (m:access) IT services and software provider specializing in mission-critical solutions for regulated and critical-infrastructure clients. The company has over 45 years of experience in business process analysis and optimization, and operates across five primary verticals: telecommunications, energy, transport and logistics, government and public administration (primary), and large enterprise organizations. Its portfolio centers on TecBOS.Command 4 — a civil-protection command and control platform with features for incident tracking, staff communication, operations diary, force positioning, and situation mapping — alongside PRO DV Workforce (a workforce management system), and a suite of "Secure" modules (Secure Infrastructure, Secure Identity, Secure Workplace, GRC, Identity Management, BCM/ISM) typically integrated on Microsoft 365 infrastructure. Two newer AI-cybersecurity research projects, PreSecurity (AI-based early warning for cyberattacks and phishing detection) and ReSecurity (AI cyber-resilience for networked IT and robotics systems), are under joint development with RWTH Aachen and FH Aachen.

The company monetizes through two primary streams: (1) professional services (Business-Analyse, Architektur-Beratung, Projektmanagement, Sicherheitsmanagement) delivered by certified consultants and project managers, and (2) software licensing/subscription for TecBOS and Workforce solutions. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows a contact-based B2B model. GTM is enterprise-direct, augmented by analyst-conference presence (m:access at Börse München) and organic social channels. Q1 2026 Totalleistung was €1,101 thousand with EBIT of -€21 thousand (approximately break-even). Headcount is reported at 11–50 employees, consistent with a small-cap listed entity serving a niche enterprise/government market in Germany.
