What Heer does

Heer is a German system integrator specializing in PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) and IP video system integration for complex enterprise environments. Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Bad Homburg, Heer integrates video surveillance, security management, access control, building management, and instore communication systems — acting as the bridge between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) security stacks for clients undertaking multi-site, multi-country security deployments.

Heer is not an independent operating company but rather a specialized product brand within vi2vi Gruppe, which is itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of the international Heras Gruppe conglomerate. Within the vi2vi portfolio, Heer sits alongside four sibling brands (vi2vi Systems for IP-video business, vi2vi Retail Solution for retail-focused IP video and instore communication, vi2vi GMS for WinGuard-based control room software, and vi2vi GMS – Swiss for the Swiss market). Together, vi2vi Gruppe employs 200+ people across Germany and Switzerland and delivers into over 40 countries.

The business model is enterprise project-based professional services: Heer and its group sell integrated security solutions into large organizations across critical infrastructure, retail, amusement parks, banking, insurance, industrial, pharma, commercial, and hospitality verticals. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows project-by-project contracting rather than standardized SaaS or product pricing. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, leveraging the Heras Gruppe's international network and procurement scale. Headcount for Heer specifically is reported in the 11-50 range, suggesting a focused delivery team that draws on the broader group's resources for large-scale deployments.
