What DIGI-SOFTWARE GmbH does

DIGI-SOFTWARE GmbH is a German software vendor founded in 1995 and headquartered in Filderstadt, Baden-Württemberg, that provides integrated business software for time tracking, ERP/CRM, and capacity planning to craft trades (Dachdecker, Schreiner, Holzbau, Metallbau) and medium-sized enterprises (Mittelstand) across the DACH region. Its core platform combines DIGI-SOLUTION-ONE (a time-management and workforce-administration system), ANNEXUS (a modular ERP/CRM suite covering address management, order processing, accounting, and inventory), CAPAX (capacity planning for production environments), and complementary mobile applications (DIGI-APP2, DIGI-RAPORT, DIGI-FORM) together with stationary time-capture hardware (EVOIII terminals, VISUAL-DIGI) and GPS vehicle tracking; a newer AI offering, KI-Bürokraft, has been added under a KI Tools product category. The technology stack is built on Microsoft Windows/SQL Server/.NET, with modular architecture that allows customers to expand functionality without programming effort. The company operates as a subsidiary of OneQrew GmbH, a diversified digital craft-business platform group.

DIGI-SOFTWARE generates revenue primarily through annual software subscriptions and licensing for its time-tracking and ERP modules, supplemented by implementation, training, and support services, with a quote-based pricing model (no publicly disclosed tiers) and a sales-led go-to-market anchored by free demo bookings. Its customer base exceeds 3,000 trade and Mittelstand businesses, distributed across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with reference customers including Metallbau Zacher GmbH, BÄTHE Treppen GmbH, Kiefer & Sohn GmbH, and Woelcke GmbH & Co. KG. Distribution combines direct sales with mobile-app-store acquisition, trade-guild partnerships (Schreinerinnung, Schreinerverband), and an active trade-show calendar (BAU2025, Bayerischer Schreinertag, Schreinertag Baden-Württemberg), supported by an 86+ customer-success-story library and multi-channel digital marketing.

The company employs approximately 21 people and is led by managing directors Benno Quade and Stefan Braatz. Its competitive positioning rests on deep vertical specialization in German craft trades, native cross-module integration that eliminates software islands, a developer-expert support model, and the multi-brand distribution leverage of the OneQrew group; it has not disclosed external venture or private-equity investment, and no revenue figures are publicly available.

Core offering

DIGI-SOFTWARE GmbH develops and sells integrated business software for time tracking, resource planning, and ERP/CRM management, specifically designed for craft trades and medium-sized enterprises in the German-speaking (DACH) region. The core offering combines time management software (DIGI-SOLUTION-ONE), mobile applications (DIGI-APP2, DIGI-RAPORT, DIGI-FORM), stationary terminals (EVOIII), capacity planning (CAPAX), and a modular CRM/ERP (ANNEXUS) into one interconnected solution, with revenue generated primarily through software licensing and subscriptions.

Product overview

DIGI-SOFTWARE offers an integrated software ecosystem for time tracking, resource planning, and business management tailored for trades and mid-market companies. The core offering centers on DIGI-SOLUTION-ONE (DSO) for time management and workforce administration, supported by mobile apps (DIGI-APP2, DIGI-RAPORT, DIGI-FORM) for field workers and stationary solutions (EVO III terminals, VISUAL-DIGI software) for on-site time capture. This core time tracking layer connects to CAPAX for capacity planning in manufacturing, ANNEXUS for comprehensive CRM and ERP functionality (address management, order processing, accounting), and GPS vehicle tracking. The products share a unified data architecture where all time data flows into DIGI-SOLUTION-ONE for evaluation, controlling, and integration with ERP/accounting systems. A newer AI feature called KI-Bürokraft (AI office assistant) is also available under the KI Tools product section.
