What Letter Scan does

Letter Scan, operating legally as COUNT IT letterscan GmbH and commercially as COUNT IT Germany GmbH, is a Munich-based enterprise content management (ECM) and document management (DMS) specialist focused exclusively on the German housing and property management sector (Wohnungswirtschaft). Founded in 2013, the firm employs 11-50 people and operates from its headquarters at Landsberger Straße 234, Munich. Its core offering is the d.velop documents ECM platform, which it resells, implements, and extends as a Platinum Partner of d.velop, one of Germany's leading ECM software vendors. The platform provides audit-compliant (revisionssicher) document storage, digital invoice verification (Digitale Belegprüfung), in-platform payments (Zahlungen aus d.velop), and digital property handover (Digitale Objektübergabe) workflows.

The company generates revenue through two primary streams: recurring subscription licenses for the d.velop documents platform and project-based professional services covering custom interface development, bespoke application extensions, ERP integration, document scanning, and consulting. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are routed through direct sales engagement. Distribution is sales-led and relationship-driven, centered on personalized consulting (the company's "espresso meeting" branding), inbound inquiries, and an active presence at major German housing-industry events including VDIV Forum Zukunft, Deutscher Verwaltertag, Aareon Forum, and the WoWi Golftour.

Strategic positioning rests on three reinforcing partnerships: a Platinum Partner status with d.velop for the core ECM technology, an Aareon Connect Partnership in the ECM area that integrates with the dominant ERP vendor for German housing, and a cooperation partnership with VDIV Deutschland, the national property manager association. The firm also maintains an active corporate presence on LinkedIn, Xing, and Instagram to support top-of-funnel awareness. No acquisitions, funding rounds, leadership changes, or international expansion have been disclosed; growth appears to be funded organically within a tightly defined vertical niche.
