What the-Company.de does
the-Company.de GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held German system house headquartered in Vaihingen an der Enz, founded in 1984, operating with 51–100 employees under the leadership of Managing Directors Tino Cafaro and Markus Michels. The company plans, delivers, and operates Unified Communications and Collaboration (UC&C), contact center, cloud communications, site connectivity, alarm and emergency systems, and healthcare communication solutions for mid-market and enterprise customers in Germany, with healthcare as its primary vertical and hospitality, manufacturing, and the public sector as additional served segments.
The core technology stack is built around Mitel (delivered at Platinum Partner tier, the highest certification) and RingCentral (first-tier DACH partner), covering on-premise, private cloud, and public cloud deployments via MiVoice Business, MiCollab, MiTeam Meetings, MiContact Center, and Mitel Xpert for dispatch/control centers (up to 99.999% uptime via geo-redundant architecture). The company layers proprietary and partner products on top, including F24 web-based crisis alerting, Schrack Seconet nurse-call and RTLS, Carechamp sensor-based assisted living, SD-WAN and MPLS site connectivity, AI-based telephone announcements, and a wholly-owned robotics subsidiary (TCOrobotics GmbH, founded 2022) for autonomous cleaning, service, and delivery robots. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales with carrier frameworks (Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, Telefónica) and purchasing cooperatives (Progros, Prosum).
Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time hardware sales, CapEx or OpEx UC&C subscriptions (Mitel and RingCentral), recurring managed services and carrier commissions, project-based professional services for implementation and migration, and digitization-funding advisory through a partnership with gigabit-consulting. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with a published Mitel price list effective 01/07/2026 and a 24-hour hotline billed at 0.69 EUR/min outside business hours, reflecting a hybrid CapEx/OpEx motion transitioning toward recurring revenue.
