What SilverERP does

SilverERP is a cloud-based ERP system developed and sold by yQ-os GmbH & Co. KG, a privately held German partnership headquartered in Dieburg that has been operating since 2014 on the back of more than 30 years of accumulated ERP experience. The product targets small and medium-sized enterprises in trade and manufacturing, offering three core editions — Edition Starter (€39/user/month), Edition Handel (€65/user/month) for trade workflows, and Edition Produktion (from €91/user/month) for manufacturing — plus four industry-specific Special Solutions for wood/building materials, mechanical engineering, chemical, and electronics businesses, as well as a startup onboarding package. Functionally, SilverERP covers purchasing, sales, CRM, article and warehouse management, production planning and control, bill of materials, document management, time tracking, financial accounting, and e-commerce integration, with a proprietary framework that supports deep customization without breaking update compatibility.

The business model is a pure SaaS subscription billed monthly, using a concurrent-user licensing model rather than per-seat licensing, which allows customer license counts to flex monthly without long-term commitment. Distribution is primarily direct-to-customer through the company's website (with a 30-day free trial), complemented by personalized demos, a direct manufacturer sales channel, and on-premise deployment options for customers requiring specific data residency. Data is hosted in an ISO 27001-certified German data center with 99.5% availability, the platform carries the SHiG 2025 quality seal from BITMI, and built-in GDPR and electronic-invoicing compliance features target the highly regulated German SME buyer. Marketing is conducted through content-led channels including the company's website, YouTube tutorials, wiki documentation, an Academy section, and email newsletters.

The company is founder-led, with Managing Directors Daniel Hohfeld and Josef Bräuer, no disclosed external funding, and an operating geography spanning the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Recurring monthly free updates and recent recognitions (OMR Top Rated Q2 2025, SHiG 2025 seal) suggest an operationally stable, product-iterating business focused on incremental vertical expansion rather than rapid scaling.

Revenue model

1. SaaS Subscription - Concurrent-User Licenses: SilverERP operates on a SaaS subscription model using concurrent-user licensing. Customers pay a monthly fee per concurrent-user license, which determines how many users can work simultaneously in the system. The model is non-person-bound, cost-efficient, and can be adjusted monthly with monthly cancellation possible. Four editions are offered at different price points: Starter (39€/user/month), Handel (65€/user/month), Produktion (91€/user/month), and Special Solutions (from 65€/user/month).

Emerging players

• sevDesk: German cloud-based accounting and ERP-lite platform targeting SMEs and freelancers. Adjacent competitor on the SME cloud-finance/operations buying center in DACH, though more accounting-focused than full ERP.

Broad incumbents

• Sage: Established global ERP/accounting vendor with strong presence in DACH SMEs (e.g., Sage 50, Sage 100, Sage Business Cloud). Overlaps on cloud ERP-for-SMB positioning with broader international footprint.
