What procedo by gps does

procedo by gps (legal entity: Gesellschaft für personale und soziale Dienste (gps) mbH) is a Bavarian temporary-labor and personnel-placement firm operating under the bbw-Gruppe umbrella. Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Munich, it runs seven branches across Bavaria (Kempten, Neumarkt, Nürnberg, Regensburg) and Austria (Linz, Wien, Wels — the latter three through partner Jobfactory Personalservice GmbH). The company provides temporary workers, direct placement, on-site / master-vendor management, and interim management to industrial and mid-market clients, with stated deployment of ~20,000 workers across its industry solutions and an active pool of roughly 600 temporary workers.

The portfolio is organized around five vertical-specific solutions — procedo M+E, interim M+E, procedo druck, procedo BayPapier, and procedo textil & mode — each developed jointly with a Bavarian employer association (bayme vbm, VTB, BayPapier, Verband Druck und Medien Bayern). Worker pay follows the iGZ-DGB tariff across nine Entgeltgruppen, and the firm is a member of the GVP. Supporting services include the procedo-Akademie training platform (leveraging bbw-Gruppe education infrastructure), Café Zeitarbeit networking events, and the Bewerberblitz talent-alert subscription for client companies. Technology consists of a rexx systems-powered job portal (jobs.procedo-personalservice.de), TYPO3 CMS, Matomo analytics, and WhatsApp Business for candidate communication; no AI or proprietary matching models are documented.

Revenue is generated primarily through markups on bill rates for temporary workers (transaction-fee model), supplemented by fees from direct placements, managed on-site services, and interim management engagements. Distribution is hybrid: physical branch offices handling enterprise field sales and account management, plus the self-serve job portal for candidate acquisition. Named enterprise customers include Krones AG, DMG MORI Pfronten GmbH, and DMG MORI Logistik GmbH.
