EUROKEY Software

What EUROKEY Software does

EUROKEY Software GmbH is a privately held German software firm founded in April 1995 in Saarbrücken, operating under the brand "Die Software-Manufaktur" (The Software Manufacturer). The company delivers custom software development services alongside a portfolio of proprietary products, serving municipalities, educational institutions, mid-market enterprises, cultural-heritage organizations, and infrastructure operators primarily in Germany and the Greater Region (Germany, France, Luxembourg, Belgium). Its customer base spans named logos including Amphenol-Air LB (continuous collaboration since 2017), Dürr Assembly Products, Klinikum Saarbrücken, Siedlungsgesellschaft Saarbrücken, and various SMEs and public-sector bodies.

The firm's technology stack centers on PreFab, a proprietary development platform providing reusable components (user interfaces, interfaces, database structures, and permission management) for building individualized standard software. Commercial products include ec·ol (enterprise communication and online learning platform used by Online-Schule.Saarland), MobiCheck (a cloud-based mobile inspection management SaaS priced at €49–€149/month across Basis, Professional, and Enterprise tiers), MobiLog (logistics mobile solution), and Entdeckerwelten (digital discovery tour suite for museums and cultural sites). The company also runs a portfolio of EU- and federal-funded research projects, including ImaB-Edge (edge-computing bridge monitoring with Fraunhofer IZFP), Skills4Dem (healthcare dementia training with iso), and JüLiG (Greater Region Jewish-life project with €2.07M Interreg budget).

Revenue is generated through a blend of project-based professional services, recurring SaaS subscriptions (MobiCheck), licensing of eLearning content (TechnoPlus English Suite), consulting and training services, and non-dilutive research project funding. The go-to-market is sales-led via direct engagement and supplemented by trade show presence at IT.CON, didacta, and ITB Berlin. With 11–50 employees, founder-controlled leadership (Managing Directors Ludwig Kuhn and Mark Schweppe), no disclosed external institutional investment, and GDPR-compliant hosting in German data centers, EUROKEY operates as a stable, regionally anchored Mittelstand software firm rather than a venture-backed scale-up.
