What ANUK does

ANUK GmbH is a privately held German IT services company headquartered in Duisburg, founded in 1999, with 11-50 employees. The company develops and sells two proprietary software products alongside bespoke IT consulting services. AU-Fallbuch is a web-based sick pay case management solution designed for German statutory health insurance case managers, integrating with the ISKV-Plus system and running on Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, or PostgreSQL with a PHP web server frontend. ANUK PEP is a personnel deployment planning application supporting demand forecasting, shift and duty scheduling, and absence management, distinguished by a configurable rule system that allows customers to define scheduling logic without programming.

The company's technology stack is conventional enterprise software: Microsoft SQL Server (2008+) as the database, .NET Framework for the PEP client, and PHP for the AU-Fallbuch web layer. Both products target on-premise or customer-hosted deployments, with ANUK offering to supply database and application servers. The technology reflects mature, stable enterprise IT conventions rather than modern cloud-native or SaaS architectures.

ANUK's business model combines one-time software licensing for its two products with revenue from individual IT consulting and custom development engagements. The company sells directly to German enterprise customers, primarily in the health insurance and shift-based workforce verticals, through website inquiries and direct contact rather than channel partnerships or marketing campaigns. The firm is founder/management-owned under managing director Udo Kirmse, with no external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries identified.
