Averes

What Averes does

AVERES is a family-owned German workspace solutions provider headquartered in Nordhorn and operating across the Grafschaft Bentheim, Emsland, Osnabrück and Steinfurt regions. Founded in 1972 and led by managing director Jan Averes since 2014, the company delivers integrated office transformation projects structured around four service pillars: Ideenfindung (consulting and needs workshops), Raumkonzepte (interior architecture and workspace planning), Technikoptimierung (printing, media and conference technology), and Digitalisierung (document management, video conferencing and AI-enabled collaboration). Customers are predominantly regional small and mid-sized enterprises, supplemented by a handful of larger accounts in utilities, construction, logistics and manufacturing, with all engagements delivered on a consultative, project-based, quote-by-project basis.

The company's recurring and hardware-replacement revenue is anchored on managed print services (AVERES Central, providing networked automatic toner replenishment, remote support via TeamViewer and multi-year maintenance contracts), Docbox document management implementations with REST-API connectivity to enterprise systems such as Microsoft Business Central, HP/Develop/Konica-Minolta printer and large-format plotter deployments, and Bürowerk Nordhorn coworking rentals at three locations. AVERES does not operate a proprietary software platform as its primary technology; its core competency is integrating third-party hardware and software (Samsung, Barco ClickShare, Logitech, Microsoft, Docbox) into a unified workspace delivery under a single point of accountability.

AVERES is privately held with no external investors, no funding rounds and no public listing. Its go-to-market is direct field and inside sales supported by content marketing (blog, whitepaper, SEO) and a community-building layer centred on the New.Work.Space. headquarters, the bookable Agile Lab and the Bürowerk Nordhorn coworking brand. The company also operates the AVERES hilft charitable program under which 50 percent of printer readiness fees are donated to regional causes since 2017.

Revenue model

1. Managed Print Services (MPS): AVERES provides ongoing management of printer and copier fleets, including automatic toner replenishment through AVERES Central, maintenance, and support. This creates a recurring service revenue stream. The company also sells the underlying hardware (printers/copiers) as part of the engagement.
2. Hardware Sales (Printers, Media Technology, Office Furniture): Revenue from the sale of printers, copiers, large-format plotters, video conferencing equipment, displays, and ergonomic office furniture. Transactions are typically project-based with one-time hardware delivery as part of a broader workspace solution.
3. Professional Services (Workspace Consulting, Planning, Implementation): Consulting, interior design, workspace planning, and project management services for office relocations, new builds, and modernization projects. This includes workshops, design concepts, color/material planning, and on-site furniture installation and montage.
4. Document Management System (DMS) Implementation and Licensing: AVERES implements and configures Docbox DMS solutions for customers, including workflow automation, e-mail archiving, and integration with ERP systems. Revenue may include software licensing and configuration services.
5. Coworking Space Rental (via Bürowerk Nordhorn): Through its subsidiary Bürowerk Nordhorn, AVERES generates rental income from private offices and coworking desks at three locations. This supports the company's broader New Work ecosystem and community-building strategy.

Direct peers

• Docbox: Docbox is the document management system (DMS) that AVERES resells, configures, and supports across its customer base. As AVERES's core digitalization partner and the only product it bundles into the integrated workspace offering, Docbox is the closest functional and competitive comparable for the DMS leg of the business.
• d.velop AG: German DMS / ECM vendor specializing in digital document workflows for Mittelstand customers, headquartered in Gescher. Directly comparable to AVERES's Docbox-based Digitalisierung pillar and frequently bid against in German SME DMS evaluations.
• Sedus Stoll AG: German manufacturer of premium office furniture and ergonomic workplace solutions headquartered in Waldshut. Sedus competes with AVERES's Raumkonzepte pillar through German dealer networks, particularly for the regional SME and enterprise customers AVERES targets.
• ELO Digital Office: German enterprise document management vendor with deep installed base across Mittelstand customers. ELO competes with the Docbox deployments AVERES configures and is a frequent alternative considered in DMS evaluations at the same German SME accounts.
• König + Neurath AG: German office furniture and space-planning specialist offering furniture systems, room concepts, and workplace consulting. Comparable to AVERES in serving German SMEs with bundled workspace design and furniture delivery, though König + Neurath is manufacturer-led rather than integrator-led.

Broad incumbents

• Kyocera Document Solutions: Manufacturer and managed-services provider of office printing equipment with a strong German channel. Kyocera's Kyocera Cloud Print and Scan solution is referenced as an AVERES customer deployment and competes for the same MPS contracts AVERES Central targets.
• Steelcase: Global office furniture and workplace strategy leader. Steelcase competes with AVERES at the high end of German enterprise deals and offers the integrated workplace consultancy that AVERES's Ideenfindung and Raumkonzepte services emulate, though at much larger scale.
• ISS A/S: Global facility services and workplace experience provider offering integrated workspace, cleaning, and support services to enterprise clients. ISS competes with AVERES for outsourced workplace services contracts at the larger enterprise end of the same customer pool.
• Konica Minolta: Global manufacturer of multifunction printers and managed print services under the Develop/Konica Minolta brand — the same OEM family referenced by AVERES's technical support staff. Konica Minolta sells directly and through channel partners, competing with AVERES's Technikoptimierung pillar across Europe.
• Ricoh: Global managed print services and document workflow provider with a strong German presence. Ricoh competes with AVERES's printer fleet management and DMS implementations for mid-market customers across the same northern German footprint.
