Quarto Software GmbH

What Quarto Software GmbH does

Quarto Software GmbH is a Vienna-based private limited company (GmbH) that develops and operates edusuite, a cloud-based school management SaaS platform targeting Austrian educational institutions. The platform is delivered entirely through a web browser with no special software or hardware requirements, and is organized into six integrated modules: LOG.IN (portal/login for students, parents, and staff), CARD (digital student ID), PAY (payment and contribution management), FLOW (communication), ON (enrollment/admission), and EV (parent association administration). The product is officially listed in the Schulanwendungsverzeichnis des Bundes (Austrian Federal School Applications Directory), which qualifies it for use in Austrian public schools and signals compliance with federal sector requirements.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer, self-service go-to-market motion, with subscription-based SaaS revenue likely structured around per-school or per-student licensing, although no specific pricing tiers or price points are publicly disclosed. Marketing emphasizes a transparent pricing model 'without risk or commitment,' and the primary customer-acquisition channel is the edusuite.at website. Quarto is a subsidiary of the bit media group, an established Austrian educational technology conglomerate, which provides corporate backing, distribution reach, and credibility in the domestic EdTech market. The company is actively operating with a lean team of 5 employees based at its headquarters on Breitenseer Straße in Vienna's 14th district, and no funding rounds, M&A activity, or leadership changes are disclosed in the available data.
